Finally talking about season 5 because Iâve been putting it off
Notes wonât be in order at all and are mostly about the final episodes
Spoilers BOGOOA BOOO!!!!
When people were saying that Sean had really gone all out this season, I was like âoh ok maybe thereâs a kinda sad scene or a really heartfelt sceneâ. NO. I WAS SO WRONG. I was NOT prepared for the scene of him screaming and wailing to the point of his voice cracking and going raw because he wanted Mk to stop so badly. I did not ever imagine I was going to see that and Iâm still not over it. If I see it again, I get chills every time and Iâm in love.
Nine-headed demons full form is so cool! I canât believe we saw that before the trailer even dropped and I thought nothing of it! I thought it was just going to be another guardian of the stone! God the designs in this show rock
Mk saying âdonât make me do thisâ was perfect. It was so quiet, so small and full of emotion. Had he planned since that first moment he was going to use the circlet? He knew since like episode two that he was going to be doing something EVERYONE wouldnât want him to do and- presumably- it became clear really fast to him what that was. Was he planning all along?
I cannot stress this enough- THE FIGHT IN EPISODE ONE FORESHADOWED THE FIGHT IN EPISODE NINE.
Nuwa saying Iâm so proud of you, her voice actor is completely perfect for her. It was so soft and gentle :(((
Mk crying from joy. He should never have to be in that position, it is so unfair that he was created just to die- over and over and over again. Iâm so glad he found another way.
Nuwa saying âmy sacrifice AND yoursâ what did she sacrifice? When she fixed the pillar the first time, was she the one that entered the pillar to fix the sky along with the stones?
WHERE IS NUWA EXACTLY??? Is that just what- the inside of the pillar looks like?
Will we see Nuwa again?
Oh my GOD Wukong catching Mk made me want to throw up. That little bit where we see it through Mkâs eyes kills me every single time.
People gaining elemental powers? Is that- every person who didnât already have any? Like- some went into Red son did he gain MORE power like that one fire sneeze girl or is he the same? If he is, heâll be mad LMAO
The chaos HHUUUGHGHGHB ITS SO PRETTY? I donât know if itâs supposed to be unnerving but I want to stare at it for hours itâs so cool. Where is that? Outside the universe? How does the chaos affect things? WHO IS âHE?â I looked up Xiangliu and the only person I could associate that with was Gonggong who is another snake like entity.
Gonggong also knocked one of the eight pillars (theres eight?) holding up the sky and ends up dying in a battle with someone called Zhurong who is a fire god and has some story with Nuwa!
Theyâre all snakes. What is with snakes in this world?
Was Macaque still investigating? At the end, heâs in the court room again for some reason and at the start of the season he said he was looking around for stuff related to Mk. Macaque is a hero and he cannot deny it anymore.
Oh yeah the ten kings of the underworld are dead. What the fuck happens to dead people now?
Why does Macaque have chaos magic, who did he make a deal with and WHY WAS IT ON THE STAFF.
Li Jing is a complete asshole. If weâre basing him off canon then thereâs no return but if him vandalising his sonâs grave ISNT CANON, then heâs just bad dad. I hope he trips and falls over and embarrassingly gets a bruise on his forehead.
Nuwa x Lady Bone Demon toxic Yuri <33
I love Nuwa but I also hate her sm right now. Why did there have to be a cycle? Because there needed to be someone to fix the sky? Because that person would never be enough and they werenât fixing the sky they were resetting it all instead? This is down to Nuwa underestimating the world- we see that- but I just cannot get over that she made a baby for the sole purpose of dying. He gets up, he gets the stones, he dies. He experiences nothing, he speaks to no one.
And Mk has absolutely had that life a thousand times.
But she doesnât react as emotionally as I wished she had. This is nothing against the writers, I am just a Nuwa hater and lover rn. She was perfect, so cool, such an amazing character but she still needs to pay child support.

do you have any thoughts on The Hunterâs Children? when i read it my immediate reaction was âthis has to mean strq reunionâ (and i have been banging that drum for years now) but iâm curious what you think about it
in general i read fairytales of remnant as an ozpin character study so i tend not to have STRQ at the forefront of my mind (see also: âthe warrior in the woodsâ was not originally about a silver-eyed warrior), and my immediate reaction to the hunterâs children was to look at this:
âNo,â said the younger sister. âWe need to study the Grimm, so we can figure out better ways to protect against them.â [âŠ] The younger sister ventured into the woods near her village and built a structure high on a tree branch from which she could observe Grimm safely. Whenever one came near, she calmed herself enough to avoid its attention while she made careful notes and sketches. But studying the Grimm in this passive state did not provide useful information about their strength and abilities in combat. [âŠ] âI was wrong. The best way to learn about the Grimm is by fighting them,â said the younger sister.
and then this:
This is one of my favorite fairy tales, and I include it here not only because its messages still resonate todayâperhaps more than everâbut also because the hunterâs four children bear a striking resemblance to the four-student teams at each of our Huntsmen academies. One wonders if the king of Vale had this story in mind when he established them after the Great War.
and then exchange a meaningful glance with the corner of my brain where i just replay WOR: grimm on a continual loop and crack the fuck up. ozma modeled the curriculum of his academies on a story whose overt moral includes "scientific study of the grimm is a waste of time and useless, the right way to learn about them is killing them." and in the end killing is all that mattersâŠâŠâŠ
OUR marvelous capacity to learn from the experience of fighting grimm; THEIR perverse form of self-preservation making them more effective killers. salem is the funniest fucking person alive
also considering ozpin says itâs his "favorite fairytale" (and thus probably one he either made up in the first place or has retold often enough to have shaped the traditional narrative) and his CONSTANT PROJECTION,
âBecause I hate the Grimm for killing your mother,â the hunter might answer. âAnd I hate myself for not being there when she died.â Dinner conversation was silent on those nights until one child would ask softly, âTell us about Mother again.â And soon they would be sharing their favorite memories of her, such as her sharp sense of humor, her beautiful singing voice, and her gentle but firm hand in guiding their combat training.
<- this is about salem. or more specifically, itâs ozmaâs grief and remembrance of salem refracted through an allegorical story about a man who couldnât save his beloved wife from the grimm. (which. lmao.) and well. the lost fable begins with salem humming, and her way of teaching and training cinder is not far off from a twisted "gentle but firm" approach. thatâs 2 of 3, and 3 of 3 taking into account her occasional moments of WITHERING DEADPAN SARCASM esp in narration and the "your mother said those words to me"/"hm! her again? :)" attitude she has adopted about these girlsâ mother being her general and the "hm! you certainly do enjoy collecting assets!" gently ribbing cinder and the nasty "she thinks⊠she wantsâŠ" bit when she uses her sarcasm for evil. and "perhaps you and i can have a better working relationship :)" LISTEN TO ME. SALEM IS FUNNY. HUMOR IS HOW SHE COPES. OZMA MISSES HER JOKESâŠ
ahem.
that said, rereading the story again i do see where youâre getting the STRQ parallels / reunion foreshadowing because yeah itâs.
younger sister: her semblance suppresses or banishes emotion with waves of "overwhelming calm," she uses it to go⊠live among the grimmâŠ
younger brother: his semblance lets him hide in plain sight by closing his eyes, but grimm can still sense his presence; he stumbles around "safe" but blind until the younger sister rescues him.
older sister: her semblance leads her toward whatever she needs most, which in the story this turns out to be her younger siblings. she pledges her service to protect the village, but the grimm are so numerous and the villagers so upset that theyâre forced to adopt a nomadic lifestyle to stay safe.
older brother: his semblance allows him to create a shared pool of aura between large groups of people connected by a rope; he travels around until he finds a surviving village and becomes their champion until they, too, are overwhelmed and forced to flee.
if summer willingly joined salem, then⊠yeah all four of these characters map very neatly onto team STRQ.
summer joined salem and learned from her how to tame / command / ally with / otherwise live safely among grimm; sheâs the younger sister.
"bravado" is a description that suits taiâs character quite well, and when heâs "alone in the forest"âleft by raven and summer and qrowâhe winds up lost and blind, depressed, and heâs (emotionally) trapped there still, surrounded by grimm that have overrun vale and patch.
ravenâs semblance links her to her family so she can always get to them; thereâs some resonance too between the older sisterâs leadership of the village and the branwen tribe in that the branwens need to stay on the move because, as bandits, theyâre walking grimm bait. and the older sister is left behind, which is⊠pretty clearly how raven feels toward the rest of her team.
qrow as the older brother on the surface seems like heâs the odd one out butâŠconsidered metaphorically, the older brotherâs semblance makes him weak when he is alone and strong with the support of a community, which is qrowâs emotional arc exactly; and the older brother also travels the world and (literally) binds people together, which, gestures at qrow telling yang where to find raven and bringing RNJR into the loop and so forth. also the clover pin semblance key change in v8.
âŠgonna put this one down as another tally in the "taiâs 'assignment' keeping him away from vacuo is summer" column.

extremely late chapter 14 thoughts:
1. sejanus as much as i love you- maybe not throw yourself inside the house when coryo is having an existential crisis.
2. i love lennox because there should be at least one person who thinks the right way. i hope lennox keeps him on his toes so he thinks three times before doing anything.
3. âUnless you still didnât see it that way.â ohhhh⊠the drama.
4. âthe back cover of an old book about a man who hunted humans.â is the book âthe most dangerous gameâ?
5. trying to materialise her morals with her prize mustâve been awful. only having money to hold as youâre in a train for that long with that many thoughts, i canât even imagine.
6. i truly love the family r has and how even that makes her different than lucy gray. the latter was the oldest in her unit, as far as i know, while r isnât meant to take care of anyone. also you are doing an excellent job at not casting them aside, as side characters usually exist for a quick second in fanfics.
7. Coriolanus Snow Being Honest To A District Woman? Itâs More Likely Than You Think.
8. well, ladybugs bring luck.
9. thank you so much for not making her jump to his arms in a few seconds. she went through hell in that arena and at least half of it could be traced back to coryo. the emotional weight of that isnât something that will lift quickly. she is bound to him by something greater than her feelings.
10. âI am yours for the walk and especially when I walk away.â MAâAM IS THIS FORESHADOWING IN A WAY?
welcome back bestie!! also i hope you had such a great birthday !!
1. yeah he was not thinking LMAO he was just like âon my way to see my friend !â and lucy gray was like âbro cmon read the roomâ
2. yes i love him :â) he was ready to swing immediately. i really love writing sibling relationships bc with my brother iâve had so many different perspectives on it through the years haha, but now it literally doesnât matter iâm like âthis person is annoyingâ and heâs like âiâll fight them rnâ lol. i really think lennox needs to bring that energy bc r is WAY too gentle for her own good, even after all that she went through. heâs a good kid, of course, raised by the same parents, but heâs not nearly as timid and i love him for it.
and ANOTHER thing ab lennox- him and lucy gray both know more than her parents do, and both are clearly protective of her but she is still willing to give coryo a chance. he sees coryo as untrustworthy and a threat to r even though he knows she cares about him, but lucy gray is more optimistic ab it. idk, i feel like they see the situation clearly but in very different ways.
3. heâs like âshit i came all this way to be shut down didnât i-â lol
4. yes maâam đ«Ąđ€ i mean i know itâs a short story but i have seen individual prints of it too (i had someone on wp be like âbut thatâs not a book itâs a short storyâ like girl i know pls-
5. no literally i would lose my damn mind. like youâre staring at an amount of money that can change your life and trying to convince yourself it is somehow worth it (which i know she could never do) would be actual torture i think.
6. i love her family so much, like realistically i canât imagine r being the person she is without having a loving and supportive family.
also thank you! i love lucy gray and the covey too much to neglect them. especially maude ivory!! we deserved more of her in the movie!!
7. no literally. especially râs mom. i think he doesnât consciously know it either but r had talked about her mom quite a bit while she was in the capitol so i think he trusts her more than he would care to if he didnât feel like he âknew herâ. also i think important to mention that his fathers death also affected her so deeply and even physically.
8. that they do đ€
9. AH you are so welcome. like as much as that would have been cute or whatever i seriously donât think that was even an option for her it wouldnât have made even a bit of sense. honestly, she was more likely to bolt back out the door and make a run for it hahahaha
10. IDK WEâLL HAVE TO SEE

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Letâs spread the self-loveâ€
aaaaaaa this one's hard!!! i've only written small town so far (which you can read here lol thank you for giving me the chance to shamelessly promote my work losty đ€) so what i'm gonna do is share my fave five chapters instead!
chapter 3 - tonight she comes - this is when we meet our girlie dot, and it was my first time writing the hellfire club all together in the same room. here's where we start to explore their dynamic as a group and it's full of foreshadowing for things that haven't happened yet đ
chapter 10 - that's what friends are for - this chapter has everything i love: the hellfire club spending time together, the gentle will they/won't they between eddie and dot, deep conversations with chrissy, dnd, and a lot of bickering. i consider this one to be one my best chapters and it was the longest i'd written at the time! đ
chapter 13 - you give good love - another entry into one of the chapters i'm most proud of and, again, it includes a lot of the things i love about small town: wayne being a menace, chrissy being eddie's biggest supporter, dot and eddie realising that it isn't them individually vs the world. this was their first big fight, and i had been working on this fic for around a year by the time i posted this specific chapter so it'll always be special to me. got 3/3 laughs with the sponge bit amongst my friends so that's a win to me! đ§œ
chapter 15 - don't you want me - the whole sleepover at gareth's will forever be one of the bits i've enjoyed writing the most about this fic. i adore that little gremlin and so much of him (and the rest of hellfire, really) is based on friends i've had throughout the years. there is something so very pure about a platonic friendship (stobin, am i right?) and if chrissy is eddie's steve, i wanted to give dot her very own robin in gareth. this was me officially confirming that both eddie and dot are bi/queer and bonding over rocky horror, which felt important to me as a queer girlie. it's my fic and i can do what i want, lol đđđ
chapter 20 - self control - the moment everyone was waiting for!!! the love confession!!! it was messy, and so uniquely them, you can't take it and give it to anyone else because it's so dot and eddie that there's just no other way around it: if it had to happen, it was going to be like this. other things i loved about this chapter were allowing nancy to dip her toes into dealing with her grief over barb (more on that later lol), the hellfire class of '86 being there for one another, and finally getting to kick andy's bitch ass down!!!! đ
honourable mention goes to chapter 14 - missing you, which is the mother's day chapter and deals with eddie and dot's mothers who passed away when they were children. i wrote this one while actively mourning someone i'm still thinking about every day and while i will probably be dealing with this for a long time, this chapter helped me purge a lot of my inner demons and helped heal more than i thought it would. it's my love letter to my person who isn't here anymore, and i know that she'd be proud of it because one of the last conversations i got to have with her was about me writing small town, and she was so happy and interested about it.
i'm in the process of writing chapter 23 right now and hopefully i'll get it out this week if i can stop crying at work for more than five minutes lmao. again thank you losty for giving me the opportunity to talk about small town, i love this fic, and i love writing it and talking about it. đ„°

Baby Lance isđ„șđ„ș
Also the way they educate him and just address all this topics is EVERYTHING. I am not a parent but damn if that isn't good parenting đ and not Max taking him with Anjali and Magnus kdhdjdjkd.
Because papa looked very happy. And when papa was happy, daddy was more happy.
No.
He was happier.
The way Max loves David never ceases to amaze me. Everything he did for him, and the other way around. It's just all the love and admiration they had for each other, the communication and always protecting each other. I am not okđđđđ
Lance nodded. âI want to know if he found the princess.â
âHe has to get through the forest of shadows first,â papa told him.
Dani: AJ and Lance's plotline is not related to lbaf V
Me: ...but what if...this is foreshadowing?? You can blame me everything is foreshadowing with you!!!
New drinking game: everytime Lance rolls hid eyes or says something is stupid, take a sip. Let's see how wasted we end đ
âI love you too,â Lance whispered.
âWhat?â Theia asked suddenly.
Oh shit. Oh fuck.
âI was just talking to myself,â Lance said quickly. âSelf-love is important.â
God, Lance is an idiot. But I can't blame him because sameđ
THEIA BLACKTHORN>>>>>>
The tres leches cakeđđ
âThe bit with the knife.â Everyday more terrified thank you very much đ
I will die for this ship and I am totally ok with that :)
I screamed a little when Max though they were going to have sex KDHDJBDKD. FUCKING GOLD
Max really be making me sob with a stained glass window huh? Ok thenđ„Č. No comments on the note jdhdkdkkd
Wait are we going to meet Harry's parents? Do we know them already??
Women fixing things with a hammer makes me somehow gayerđđ
âFeminists get horny too, Arthur,â Lance rolled his eyes. "I'm a horny feminist." I would print this shit if I could
Now the title makes sense... BUT HOLY SHIT BABE NOOOO. YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG. YOU WERE NEVER THE REASON!!! IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT. Will he ever know the truth?? Because I think it's gonna break him a little tbh...
BLACKBANE SUPREMACY!!! đđ
âIf you donât believe it, then at least believe this,â Arthur said gently. âI love you a lot and I donât think youâre the reason for anyoneâs pain except yours.â AJ really be continuing the Lightwood-Bane tradition of casually saying heartwreaking things...
That kiss was âš ICONICâš
âBecause, Lance,â Gabriel said, their voice gentle. âThere is very little Max wouldnât do for David.â Gabriel is an adult nowđ and they're still hot af I'm sure đđ god I love them...
Theia blackmailing an important lawyer!! Mark me down as scared and horny đ„” she is a fast learner it seems...
I MF KNEW IT!!! I KNEW THE COSTUDY AGREEMENT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE WHY WOULD DAVID TAKE THE KIDS AWAY FROM MAX?!? Alec losing that case didn't make sense!! I knew it and I'm still in shock because I didn't expect THAT. WHAT THE FUCK??? I have given it a hundred thoughts and I still don't understand why. I NEED ANSWERSđđđ
Thank you đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„° and I know you knew đđ«ąđ
This is literally David with baby Lance

Samuel Lee Witwicky: Body Headcanons/Facts (Reboot AU)
Sixteen year-old Chinese-Australian American. So naturally, he has both traditionally âasianâ and âeuropeanâ features, that being golden-toned/warm-toned porcelain-esque skin with freckles. Itâs a far cry from the stereotypical pale yellow- think of Mari and Sunnyâs skin tone from OMORI (at least, Sunny before the pizza came).
Despite the height difference not really being all that much, heâs the shortest one (heâs 5â3/160 cm, Mikaela is 5â6/167 cm, and Heidi is 5â4/162.6 cm).
Despite being somewhat slim, petite and mildly toned, unlike other asian characters in Transformers like Miko Nakadai, his body type actually has some pretty prominent curves. His body type is actually really curvy around certain areas, and he's one of those trans guys who's not a skinny white twink (no offense meant by this /gen). One of his associations is nature, healing and life, and nature is plentiful with its bounties. His skin is also really soft since his parents urge him to always take care of it. This is why he likes to bind- he doesnât mind being curvy in areas like the hips and thighs, etc, he just doesnât like the curves on his chest aka breasts (someone pay for his top surgery or I sue /j) đ
He has traditionally really gentle and traditionally âbeautifulâ features, like a button nose, dimples, bow-shaped lips, etc. But the one that stands out are his beautiful, bright and sparkling green eyes thatâs inherited through his fatherâs side of his family (descended from Archibald). He also inherited his freckles from that side of the family too.
He has iridescent rings around his pupils that are an indication/foreshadowing that heâs not exactly âhumanâ. Whenever his powers are triggered, or whenever he wills himself to use them, sometimes the pupils or the whole eyes light up with that blinding gilded light. And whenever the transformation into his other âTransformerâ form is triggered, they flash green.
Speaking of eyes, did I mention theyâre monolid eyes? And theyâre what some call âpeach blossomâ shaped? And he lines them with red eyeliner? Bro is straight rizz material-
Trans dude, bisexual and polyamorous, born intersex (PCOS): him being trans and intersex plays into his body type where he has quite a bit of body hair on areas like his chest and legs. Thereâs not as much on his arms, though.
An INFJ Pisces and supreme peak autistic, what can I say lmao-
Sam dresses very modestly and formally, usually in collared shirts and in patterned sweaters/sweater vests (but mostly sweater vests). And most of the time, he wears baggy, decorative zip-up hoodie jackets atop them. Sometimes he wears cardigans or painted/decorated jean jackets, loose tops with floral or other cute patterns, and shorts. In the winter, he slaps on trench coats over his outfits along with cute gloves and scarves.
Sometimes his aesthetic is light academia with dark vests, sometimes it's cottagecore, sometimes it leans towards cute, muted pastel kidcore, sometimes he has a few retro-esque fashion items on, who knows? At the end of the day he looks as cute as he is on the inside đ
But on some occasions, he does have blazer top jackets, y2k accessories, and turtleneck top wear that he wears on some occasions. Mikaela encourages him to wear them more often because she and Heidi both think that it makes him look awesome. He deserves to feel happy in his own body. Some of the blazer jackets have Chinese patterns, others have 80âs/90âs patterns. He sometimes adorns them with a pin or two.
If this man has his first date in the future, heâd wear a hanfu to it. Heâd wear a hanfu to prom. Heâd accessorize in all the cutest ways, and thinks it wonât look good. People proceed to die.
Yâknow those Pacific Rim drivesuits that the pilots always wear? Think of Sam wearing something similar- thatâs what he always wears into battle. Thereâs always a belt that he wears that has the steel Autobot crest on it on the armor/pilot suit.
Sam đ wears đ makeup đ
And thatâs on PERIODT.
He wears tinted and scented lip gloss, sometimes even those glossy expensive brands of lipstick that his mother owns, he learned how to properly apply eyeliner from his mother, he puts that on top of a bit of light foundation and blush, but even then heâs so damn pretty without makeup.
You cannot tell me that this man doesnât have a natural blush on the tip of his nose and his cheeks, and some across the bridge too.
And jewelry?? On god. He wears those ebony stud earrings lined with gold with an amethyst dangling below it, those are his favorite earrings- and he has necklaces and pins, and he even has pearl jewelry and so many y2k-esque rings on his fingers that he likes to twirl and play with. He has jewelry for EVERY occasion.
He only wears the rings sometimes, though- he already has his bracelet to toy with.
And nail polish. He either goes with the glittery light purplish pink one, or the straight black nail polish with the extra shine, because thatâs what suits him the most in his opinion.
He loves flowers and plants so much that he has a eucalyptus leaf and flower anklet that he wears on occasion.
Not to mention the Buddhist clay and brass bead bracelet that he stims with on occasion, twirling it around his finger in repetitive patterns as some sort of self-grounding and self-soothing behavior. He even sometimes chews on the jade pendant of the necklace his mother gave him- he wears that shit all the time.
Naturally, Samâs body is capable of some pretty weird stuff, as you can imagine if you have the heart of a literal primeval CREATOR GOD merged with your own since your birth thatâs been altering your DNA and fundamental molecular structure to superhuman levels-
When he transforms into a more robotic form, he pilots it like a mech or a jaeger with his own body in the âTransformerâ bodyâs spark. Itâs an extension of himself, like he IS the body, because of the nature of his heart as well as the neural link established with the suit. If the Transformer body feels pain or takes damage, then he feels the pain of that damage and takes that damage as well. The only exception is severed limbs- in which case, the limb of Samâs âhuman bodyâ merely is disabled/paralyzed until repair/medical aid is administered. Think of how Mark from Mech X4 operates the Mech itself. Coupled with that, the mech has all of the standard abilities of a Transformer, including an alt mode.
He can breathe underwater and in space when transformed. Or, rather, this is because he feels no need to breathe when transformed.
You know Blue Beetleâs mechanical scarab wings? Well, think of Samâs more robotic form having those. The scarab wings with the sunset color palette, glimmering in the light as they unsheathe, having the ability to shift and turn into a shield of sorts as they arch over his head and in front of him, expanding their area to shield his body⊠foaming at the mouth rn help-
These come with side-effects, such as enhanced reflexes, strength, senses and dexterity, and the ability to interact with Cybertronian technology as well as reading several different scriptures/forms of Cybertronian to an extent. Given how Transformers sometimes communicate via telepathy or technopathy without any sensory channels/input required⊠Sam also has these kinds of abilities pertaining to the mind. He can establish neural links with other living beings and dreamwalk, creating a metaphysical manifestation of their realms of consciousness to navigate and telepathically talk to them.
Sometimes, he can even revive dead life such as plants, and on rare occasions heâs accidentally created new life. Other abilities include absorbing and redirecting energy, kind of like Black Pantherâs nanotech suit.
When Sam grows older, I imagine heâll have a small ponytail and have some beard facial hair. I imagine him also gaining a few more centimeters, in addition to maybe getting himself a tattoo of the Autobot crest. Heâll also embrace his body and grow into it, learning to be proud of who he is and not deny or show shame for parts of himself. Heâll also ofc have a few battle scars, because who wouldnât when fighting in a war honestly. Câmon guys /lhÂ

Whatâs the viscosity of blood?
i did the actual prompt this time! this is how Logan, a serial killer, and Roman, an actor and author, met.
Warnings:Â mentions of blood, suggested violence, suggested death, mention of a possible car accident, mentions of a bad break up, panic attacks/anxiety. on one hand, this is basically Fluff but on the other hand, Loganâs a serial killer. if i forgot anything, please let me know!!!
Words: 3,208
Pairings:Â Logince, former Analogical
read on AO3!
enjoy!!!
It wasnât like Logan to join a dating app. He had never done that before, and to be honest, he wasnât much of a romantic. Heâd only ever had one relationship and, wellâŠ. And he definitely hadnât spent over 50 hours awake in the lab after the break up, running on nothing but coffee and suppression. Definitely hadnât cried into the empty right half of his bed, lamenting how large it was, how much more spacious it was. No, no, Logan wasnât sentimental.
He wasnât still upset over the break up, despite it being over a year ago. He hadnât signed up willingly, sought out a mobile application that was as different from Tinder or, God forbid, âGrindr,â which was what one of his teaching assistants suggested. One of the graduate students he oversaw definitely hadnât suggest he get back into dating.
He hadnât handpicked this particular site out of an actual pool of possible matchmaking services, hadnât weighed the proâs and conâs of each site before electing to sign up for one that would match him with someone with similar Google searches. He hadnât been hoping that the âsimilar searchesâ would be related to work â he hadnât been quietly hoping to talk with a fellow chemical engineer, maybe even discuss astrophysics with someone.
He had been a little surprised to be matched based on the searches â20 pack 20 mL syringes,â âbuy hydrogen peroxide near me,â and âviscosity of blood.â
Now, these werenât necessarily work-related searches, but the person who had matched with him based on those searches had already swiped right on his profile. Logan recalled being a little confused, a little more curious, to see what this âRoman del Solâ might be doing with that sort of information. Logan himself had a solid alibi, what with his position at the university. No one could disprove that one of his pet-projects wasnât about how blood reacted to certain chemical agents, and that would explain all three of the searches. And it wasnât too far from the truth.
No, he hadnât rehearsed the story in his head over and over while driving to the planetarium. Itâd been his idea but Roman had accepted wholeheartedly, granted that they start at the cafe inside. âi wanna get to now you first ;Pâ was how he justified it, and in hindsight, Logan couldnât believe heâd accepted a date with someone who typed like that.
Their conversations over the app were quite something. According to Romanâs profile, he was an actor, writer, and loved Disney. Upon first contact, Logan had to clarify what âloving Disneyâ entailed, which led them to a surprisingly heated but good-natured discussion about the ethics behind the Walt Disney Corporation becoming a monopoly of entertainment and media. Something about that led Roman to asking âr u doin anythin on friday, teach? ive got rehearsal until 6 but after that we could meet up somewhere and continue this delightful debate in person ;)â and something â Logan still couldnât put his finger on what â but SOMETHING moved him to respond with âThat would be lovely.â
So now here he was, parking in the planetariumâs lot. Logan looked at himself in his rearview mirror and straightened his tie with one hand, smoothing it down his chest slowly with his eyes trained on his own face. Dark bags had begun forming beneath his eyes, darker than a few years ago. He would have to make a larger effort to maintain his work schedule. And his skin had grown pale.
No. He shouldnât waste time scrutinizing his own reflection like this, because he could spend hours doing so and he had to meet his date on time.
Logan held the edges of his sports coat as he exited the car, pulling his briefcase out with him. He slung the strap over his shoulder and brushed himself down once more. It didnât hurt to want to impress, no. He just had to remember that he looked, what did Roman say, âdashing?â He looked dashing.
He checked his watch as he walked up the short path to the planetarium. He had arrived five minutes early, despite the traffic. Splendid. He could order and secure a table.
The prices were relatively understandable and the service fairly fast. Loganâs americano was sitting before him in ten minutes â meaning Roman del Sol was five minutes late. The thought ground Loganâs gears just a little, and he indulged in the meaningless frustration as he took his first sip, eyes glazed over while staring at the parking lot. Perhaps Roman had been caught up in the traffic? Or the rehearsal was running later than anticipated. Maybe he had stood Logan up. Or heâd gotten into a horrible car accident on the highway, resulting in fifteen dead and six wounded.
Reel it in. Youâre turning into Virgil.
At that thought, Logan scoffed. He could never rile himself up as much as his livewire ex. Still, as his thoughts drifted back and forth between worrying about his new potential beau and anger towards his former flame, Logan couldnât help himself in combining the two and worrying about Virgil. If Logan was taking the break up this hard, it was unlikely that Virgil was put together at all.
Now, now, Logan. Dr. Picani had said you shouldnât decipher your past until you were ready and in a good location to do so. Maybe you are ready, but this certainly isnât the stage, and this definitely isnât the audience.
Speaking of theatrical metaphors, where the fuck wasâ
âHello! Are you Logan?â speak of the devil.
Logan blinked, adjusting his glasses and sitting up slowly. âI, um. Yes,â he cleared his throat, a stern tone overtaking his voice as he was reminded that heâd been waiting for â he glanced at the clock on the wall â 23 minutes. âYou must be Roman.â
His eyes trailed up and he had to mentally withhold from a verbal exclamation. Before him was, well, the most stunningly beautiful man heâd ever seen. Romanâs profile photos were true to life, hair swept lazily to the side, a dazzling playful smirk on his face as his slender fingers curled around the empty chair at Loganâs table. He was wearing a dark brown coat with a vibrant red scarf wrapped loosely around his neck, coat unbuttoned just enough to reveal a white and gold princeâs outfit beneath.
âSorry Iâm so late, rehearsal ran late and then the traffic was unbearable! I didnât want to be too late, though, so I didnât change out of my costume,â Roman slid into the empty seat, leaning forwards with his arms on the table, âItâs a pleasure to meet you in the flesh, Specs.â
He reached a hand out to Loganâs, which he assumed was to shake. Roman had a fairly firm grip and his hand was warm, warmer than Loganâs surely. Once they let go, Roman leaned forward on both of his elbows, smiling cheekily.
âI know we disagreed on a lot regarding Disney, but you must admit I was right about one thing,â his voice had a purr in it, almost like a cat.
Romanâs tone didnât change the fact that Logan was definitely not giving up ground on their Disney argument. âOh?â he raised an eyebrow, picking up his mug slowly, âAbout what?â
âYou do look handsome. As dashing a prince as Iâve ever seen.â
Logan straightened up, a bright red flush overtaking his face. Oh. He cleared his throat and reached down for his coffee. âHigh praise coming from the man actually dressed as a prince,â two could play the flirtation game.
âA Scottish nobleman, thank you very much!â However, it seemed that Roman was more well-versed. âFirst, though, I would love to know when your birthday is.â
Their conversation bounced around, from astrology to astronomy, to the possible colonization of Mars, to civilization, and Logan was honestly refreshed by how quickly Roman was able to keep up with him regarding depth of knowledge. They did seem to disagree on a lot, such as how accurate astrology charts were, though Logan was as willing to overlook Romanâs acute knowledge of astrology as Roman was to overlook the apparently blasphemous fact that Logan was a Capricorn.
An hour or two of conversation had passed before Roman swept his hand through his hair, laughing heartily at something Logan must have said. They were on the topic of plays, since Romanâs current role was Macduff in Macbeth for the fall Shakespeare festival, and Logan had made an offhand comment about washing the theater blood from Romanâs pristine white outfit. Really, Logan knew nothing about theater. He considered it âprofessional make believe,â though the nature of poetic verse did intrigue him enough to actually read a few Shakespeare plays.
âWhatâs so comedic?â Logan asked, hand tracing around the rim of his empty mug.
âOh, well, you know. You mentioning blood reminded me of the searches that crossed our paths,â Romanâs hand ran back, cupping the back of his neck as he chuckled a little more, looking not at Logan but out the window to his left.
Logan had almost forgotten that that was what they were meeting over. His back straightened, sitting upright.
He knew exactly why heâd been searching about syringes, hydrogen peroxide, and blood. He was more interested to hear why Roman was. And while he wasnât nervous in the slightest (had Roman been a threat, Logan would have no trouble in alerting the authorities), Roman grew more jittery at the topic.
â....Itâs always a little difficult to explain, but, well. I always end up searching the weirdest of things,â Roman shot him a tiny, lips pulled tight smile, âUsually itâs for reference, as an author. Iâm working on a murder mystery novel.â
Ah. Logan nodded. âThat would explain the blood viscosity search,â he said.
âMhm. And you hit the nail on the head with the white outfit, actually,â Roman grabbed his costumeâs sleeve and rolled it over, showing Logan the back part of his right arm.
There were a multitude of tiny light brown dots, barely visible on the white fabric. Logan raised his eyebrows.
âThe informationâll definitely come in handy regarding my book, but what happened here was that I was stitching on new trimmings and kept poking myself in the hand. Eventually, wellâŠ.Iâm not the best tailor and I had to figure out a way to clean the fabric. The searches before that were probably âhow to get blood off of clothesâ and âwhatâs hydrogen peroxide,â Logan snorted at the second search, to which Roman grinned, âHey! Not all of us are chemists.â
âChemical engineer,â Roman rolled his eyes and, despite the small flare of annoyance at the fairly common mistake, Logan felt something warmer well up at the sight of his small smile. He wanted to see more. âAnd you added the trimmings yourself? I thought there was a costuming department or such.â
âNo, well, this is actually one of my personal costumes. Itâs from when I played Cinderellaâs prince in a production of Into the Woods a few years ago. The director for that is the same director working with us for the Scottish play, and to cut costs he asked if I could reuse the costume. With a few modifications, of course,â Roman smoothed out his outfit once more, smiling lopsidedly at Logan now.
âOf course,â Logan felt himself smile back, fondly watching Roman fiddle with the costume. He wanted him to keep talking.... âAnd you mentioned a book, correct?â
A spark jumped through Romanâs eyes and his face lit up. He clasped his hands on the tabletop, leaning forward as he did so. âMy book! I donât, oh, I donât want to spoil too much, but itâs a murder mystery novel! Iâm just working on the first draft and research right now but once itâs out, oh once itâs out!â
Logan didnât want to press Roman for details but....a murder mystery novel? That was his one of his favorite genres. And, well. Was his life. âA murder mystery? I wonât ask you to spoil it, but I am excited to read it,â he pushed his glasses up, watching Romanâs face glow brighter.
âOh, maybe Iâll tell you a little! Thereâs definitely romance involved, but the beautiful beau at the center of it all has no clue who to trust. Does he trust the dashing but stoic doctor, or the charmingly focused detective, or maybe the righteous journalist following him around? Oh, itâs the mystery of the century!â Roman laughed, excitement laced through his voice, and Logan found the laughter to be contagious.Â
âIâm excited for it,â he reiterated, unsure of what else to say.
Roman nodded energetically, now sliding his coat off. Something about the motions must have reminded him of the other pressing question in his mind, though, because his grin faltered for a second. It was up as quick as it went, however, and Roman asked âBut what on earth were you doing searching about blood?â
The moment of truth. But Logan had long since become an expert at explaining that part of his life. He didnât even have to draw in a breath, he just let his own giddiness ride itself out before answering. âItâs quite boring, compared to your story. All three of the searches were about work. Iâm running a study on blood clotting agents at my lab. While I was the one bulk buying hydrogen peroxide and syringes, for the study, one of my graduate students was doing background research on, well. Blood.â
There was a bead of pause. Logan wasnât nervous, no, but he could hear his own blood pumping. A quickened pulse meant nervousness. But he wasnât nervous.
Roman was still looking out the window. For someone exuberantly animated, Logan thought, Roman was being very quiet at these revelations. He had an eyebrow quirked up as he seemed to watch the outside world. Logan couldnât help but worry that Roman didnât believe his story, but what wasnât there to believe? It wasnât an entire falsehood, only a few omitted details and one large fabrication. Did Logan not look like heâd run studies on blood?
âSee, Professor Plum, you say thatâs boring, but that honestly sounds quite fascinating.â
Logan blinked and watched Romanâs mouth curve into a small smile. He faced back towards Logan with a wide, supportive grin. âBlood clotting agents? For what, medical purposes? That sounds groundbreaking.â
Well â âSuch a thing already exists, though in fairly unstable forms,â Logan adjusted his glasses, âWeâre just working on, ah, making a less costly version.â
âLess costly? Like, the ingredients?â
âPrecisely.â
Logan didnât miss how Romanâs eyes widened, how they seemed to sparkle. Was that wonder? He hadnât pegged Roman as the type to be so excited over scientific discoveries. âThat sounds amazing! Really impressive, Logan,â his voice had a sort of breathlessness, was Roman really that impressed?
He seemed to catch himself, though. Roman leaned back and crossed his legs, the same Cheshire grin heâd been wearing all night returning to his face. âSo youâre beautiful and a genius,â he hummed, voice as warm as his hands had been.
Logan couldnât help but let out a breath as the rest of his face turned red at the praise. âI, wellâŠ.thank you,â he also couldnât help the little smile that grew on his face.
It fell in a second, though, when he realized Roman hadnât disclosed all of his search reasons. âWait. Why were you searching for syringes?â
And now it was Romanâs turn to turn red. A small laugh escaped his lips and his fingers drummed against his upper lip, a habit that did not escape Loganâs notice. âWell, itâs a long story. The summary is that I was trying to do that thing with flowers and food coloring, you know? I, ahâŠ.was trying to make a bouquet, and I needed a lot of syringes.â
Flowers and food coloring? âCan you elaborate? What do you mean, flowers and food coloring?â
Roman waved his hand now, a little dismissively. âOh, tâwas a bold dream. Iâm not as good with precise measurements and such as you seem to be. Thereâs this thing you can do where, if you split the stem of a white rose, you can soak it in dyed water to change the color? You typically split up the stem and leave the different parts to soak in glasses with different colored water in them. I was trying to make a bouquet of rainbow flowers but, wellâŠ.after a few days, it was clear that something had gone wrong. And after a week, I gave up on it.â
âYouâŠ.you needed syringes. For that?â
Logan couldnât help the incredulity that filled his tone. Roman gave him a tiny glare, shoulders hiking up â the way his brow furrowed, despite the evident frustration, was adorable. Logan didnât expect this to be going so well, to be falling so hard for this dumbass, but it seemed he was still capable of being surprised. RomanâŠ..wasnât continuing, though. He just raised an eyebrow at Logan, face still stiff in a frown.
Was there some social cue Logan was missing? Was he supposed to know how to color roses? He shrugged. Surely he couldnât expect that âI have never attempted to color roses, thus I am unaware.â
Roman kept watching him with a guarded expression, arms crossed around himself. Logan must have stepped out of line in some way. He had half a mind to apologize when Roman finally lowered his shoulders and cleared his throat. âNo, no, youâre right. ItâŠ.technically it wasnât necessary.â
Heâd bounced back fast. âBut it was oh so fun. Almost like my own little experiment,â Roman smiled at him, âI like it when things are just perfect.â
âOf course, completely understandable,â Logan elected to not acknowledge Romanâs moment, âDid the roses turn outâŠ.okay?â
âThey did! They were for Pride, of course, and they were beautiful!â Roman laughed.
And so they continued. Pride, homosexuality in the media, Star Wars movie theories, Star Wars versus Star Trek. Debates, bickering, insults with no bite behind them. It feltâŠ.
It felt like Logan was falling from a tall building. Heâd never clicked so well with someone. And he certainly lost track of time.
ââScuse me, babes, but weâre closing!â Logan and Roman both turned towards the cafeâs desk, where the barista who had served the both of them was waving, âIâm gonna have to ask ya to leave!â
Logan checked his watch. Had they really talked for three hours? That must mean the planetarium was closed, too.
âDamn, well. We missed the planetarium,â Roman put his phone down and let out a breath, âI canât say Iâm too upset! It would have been lovely, of course, but I got to spend the night with an even more delightful star.â
He held out his phone towards Logan, whose ears were turning red with embarrassment. âI guess weâll have to do this again sometime,â his voice was soft as Loganâs hand brushed over his to take the phone.
Logan felt himself smile downwards as he typed his information into Romanâs phone. âI would like that very much, Roman. Your company has been most enjoyable.â
âYou, too, Spock.â

Iâm just so so pissed at gyu for being a r^p1$t and being soâŠclose-minded and shit (every time he makes an excuse as to why he did what he did it infuriates me! You donât do that to someone you love man..). On the other hand I LOVE how he loves herâŠheâs totally whipped for her and that has me kicking my blanket! đ
And I do recognise how much heâs been struggling with the marriage, with his father, with OC being so upset with him. And as much as I hate to say it, I low-key feel bad for him. But then I remember how heâs so possessive and batshit insane and I hate him all over again. đ©
Iâm happy that OC is with tyun now and I really want him to learn to be moreâŠhuman? lmao but really, heâs so cold-blooded. I love him though, in my eyes he saved her and hasnât done anything insanely wrong either (not counting his casual murdering spree). Iâm optimistic, but Iâll still expect a bit of disappointmentâŠhe doesnât love her like gyu does yet⊠đđ. It would be everything if the âI can change himâ ideology works and he starts being more gentle because of her (knocking people unconscious instead of killing them lol). No but how cute would it be if everyone notices a shift in him. Heâs smiling more and heâs kinder etc. I feel like even if he changes and falls in love with OC and OC still stupidly wants to go back to gyu he would let her because heâs strong and values her human rights and freedom.
Back to gyu lol. I feel like itâs gonna be WW3 heâll literally declare war on tyun cause of OC and scour the lands to find her. But hopefully if they do ever reunite, sheâs more street smart. She wouldâve gone though hell and back with tyun and eventually sheâll get stronger and sheâll be braver too. Sheâll stand up for herself and be more respectable. Kind of like Mulan learning to be a man.
Iâm one of those readers who discovered this at like chapter 3. I was just curious as to what this whole thing was and then I ended up reading it from start to finish! I might go back and read 1&2 but I feel like my view of gyu is tainted (I know the terrible shit heâs about to do) so it might be hard to readâŠIdk what do you think?
#yamqn i seriously love your writing!! đđ€
The dichotomy of gyu is insane đ and i love how you view his character as that is how i intend people to see him. that he loves her a lot and that he suffered so much but that that doesn't excuse his behaviors at all
yeah tyun is just starting. he might be changed by oc like he will change her so it's understandable that he's so severe now. he still has a journey to go through. question is if he'll be too prideful to bend. and yeah that's actually the start of the new chapter lol oc dissecting tyun's previous actions and concluding that so far he didn't really do much wrong and that he did save her lol
"No but how cute would it be if everyone notices a shift in him. Heâs smiling more and heâs kinder etc." that would be stupidly cute but might not be safe for him for reasons we'll see lol. and yeah he'll probably let her go if she wants. he's great like that (lmao the bar is so low)
yup hopefully if she goes back to gyu she would've at least learned how to fend for herself and how to stand her ground. honestly your takes on the story so far are pretty thoughtful and make a lot of sense for the story so thanks for sending them in!
honestly i wrote gyu from the start in a way that would, not necessarily foreshadow, but not make you surprised when the noncon happen so i feel like he was ruined from the start you get me? a rereading will just reveal how that would've inevitably happened

I just watched a YouTube rant video about how Hollywood hates quiet/gentle/shy characters and now I'm thinking about a movie adaptation where rei is just. Aggressively forward and sarcastic and witty in the way actual rei is not, and basically lectures laventon, akari, and everyone in hisui about The Correct Modern Way To Handle Pokemon (and also the hisuians have been dumbed down Watson-style so they can ask questions like "what is a pokeball?" + "what are moves"). The zorua thing (bc the filmmakers subscribe to the "rei was a shiny zorua" theory, and also they make the rei actor wear the zorua mask "for foreshadowing", but only like 25% of the time bc How Can They Hide That Handsome Actor's Face) is an open secret within five minutes of rei landing in hisui, only existing to provide drama when akari tearfully accuses rei of hiding their true self from her (despite her clearly giving them poffins earlier in the movie w a knowing look), and kamado thundering about how he can't have a POKEMON in jubilife village (despite... All the Other Pokemon actors chilling in plain sight whenever jubilife is filmed). Also everyone uses modern pokeballs bc asking ancient experts for handcrafted pokeballs just takes too long and is "too expensive" lmao.
This is prolly a popular children's film explaining how they transitioned from hisui to sinnoh. Anyway rei watches it somehow and has a crisis when they recognize some of the shit they Actually did in the actor's Obvious Zorua Coding and for at least 45 minutes, wonders if everyone Knew All Along and were just Pretending to not know to mock them. Then they realize the emotions at the time of reveal couldn't be faked... Could they? *cue panic spiral*
YES YES YES LOVE THIS
even better if some of the things the movie gets uncannily right are COMPLETELY coincidental stuff that there couldn't actually be any real documentation of (like idk maybe they include a few convos between rei and cyllene's abra but it was more because they wanted to give some celebrity a quick cameo and it would be pretty easy to add a voiceover for an abra, considering u don't have to worry about mouth movements). like all the big stuff is extremely loosely interpreted and hardcore historians claim it's "wildly inaccurate for the sake of entertainment" but still. because of these random moments that hit a bit too close to the mark rei is just CONVINCED that actually everyone did know that rei was a pokemon the entire time until idk maybe hunt knocks some sense into them. like it even includes moments where it's like idk. that type of comedic scene where it's a serious conversation but the disguise is messing up (zoura ears pop up from their head, maybe the tail or a paw gets un-disguised, etc) and they have to scramble to hide it when the other person is looking. nothing CLOSE to that ever actually happened but rei still is like. wait did that happen tho
also, since we're on the topic; I wonder if the fact that rei came from the future specifically is wildly known? like it's probably clear that rei has some more modern understandings of things, and there's gonna be some record of rei seemingly appearing out of nowhere (with eyewitness records of them actually falling from the rifts possibly being considered hearsay and taken with a few grains of salt) but it could probably be waved off as them coming from a region that was more industrialized at the time or just more comfortable with Pokemon (like galar, unova, or even alola maybe??) or even just. maybe rei was a prophet or could see into the future or smthin. but generally time travel generally isn't a very common theory. so then maybe this particular movie adds in the detail that rei actually WAS iesaki'd to hisui-era sinnoh once again for entertainment reasons. which makes rei even MORE convinced that this was just how ppl saw them but just didn't say anything
#ask and ye shall receive#anonymous#ditto rei au#I fucking LOVE to think about what info was preserved and what was actually believed#like idk maybe some of the more wild stuff gets generally ignored as being wild conjecture based on suspicion of outsiders at the time

bhah ch6 itâs go time
excitable bby carson is so cute I love that kid
Dani uuuhhh being so in tune w Jamie always is so lovely. and Jamie almost being a bit scared of accepting her kindness when sheâs truly hurting is so interesting like I think Dani really is her person but she still canât fully let down all her walls around her. or tbh probably doesnât have the emotional capacity to understand how sheâs feeling and communicate that properly gah someone pls give her unending emotional support she makes my heart hurt so much
âThere was an odd expression on her face that Dani couldnât placeâ thatâs love babey (i feel like there are a lot of moments like this lol I love seeing this all from Daniâs POV)
oof Dani trying to figure out where sheâd âmissteppedâ bc of a look Karen gave her god she doesnât deserve this
the way she can make Dani have a fucking panic attack just by being near her ummmmmm I hate her. like i canât even comment on this bit bc Iâm mostly just trying to read it really fast and not reflect too hard
ah sweet Jamie
hmmmm is this the moment Dani falls in love with Jamie please itâs so sweet and casual and literally just Jamie being herself and caring about Dani with her whole heart. no wonder. also the contrast of this with her realising as an adult is beautiful. Dani u poor little confused gay angel
the dirty paperback a staple of all good plotlines
dsfjhdfkjghkjfh when Dani straddles her and Jamie just fucking freezes oh my god this part makes me laugh so much you poor little lesbian
ââAs you wish,â Jamie said softly.â oh god oh no not the princess bride rn this whole bit is too soft
âTwenty-four hours alone with Jamie in her house, and it was like Dani had suddenly forgotten what the emptiness of it felt like.â oof just. Jamie is her home I canât even think about that concept too hard it is too beautiful and all-encompassing
Milkshake Monday is so cute Iâm gonna make a milkshake on Monday in honour of the OâMara/Clayton/Taylor gang
Eddieâs âhe rested his hand oddly on the ground between them, his palm up and hands looseâ is giving me flashbacks to the only date I ever went on with a man please not this move
aww poor Jamie is jealous (and probably very sadly realising she will never get to be where Eddie is with the handholding and blossoming relationship ouch) (this is also giving me flashbacks stop living inside my brain)
oh my god Jamie sprinting away from David w the paperback iâm dying
aww lil D&D bebes
dfgdjfh âI cast: slap you in the face.â i think he has some points
Eddie and his endless sheets of notes and plans is actually super cute.
Carson wanting to be evil there is somethin to be said abt queer-coded villians and that is that I love them and the gravitational forces they apply to baby gays
god the sibling banter in this is so perfect this is exactly how this wld have gone down w me n my siblings
lmao eddie really is in his element this is so good
god Jamie just... so anxiously awaiting for the only source of stability sheâs ever had in her life to return I am emotional
teeny baby mikey. Jamieâs parents are the fucking worst for the ways they treated their kids but Iâm so glad Nan can be here for them
why is... jamie so upset?? is this like. it kinda puts the nail in the coffin of the idea of her family being whole again?? is it just because Jamie wasnât told whatâs happening and she feels out of control?? let me see inside ur brain jamie u poor confused angry little bird
ugh now I am thinking about the idea of family and building ur own and getting to choose the people that mean the most to you and it sucks that for some people the families they were born into canât be that and this is too much for a Sunday afternoon
oh sheâs upset by the change of it all (tho like... thatâs probably just the easiest part to talk about rn Iâm sure itâs a lot of complicated emotions)
the foreshadowing of âIâll be the one to take care of himâ
"She isn't going to just up and leave you alone with a baby, Jamie." genuinely too fragile for this rn
fuck i can just picture extremely sullen teenage Jamie with feelings too big to process properly trying to just survive and sweet understanding Dani giving her a really gentle place to kind of... reflect a bit and work through them. I am. also having feelings too big to process properly. i love that Nan knows Dani is this for her too and probably sent her after her for that exact reason
hhhmnngfhgh washing her hands for her the intricate rituals of it all
âCan just call him âBawbagâ and be done with it.â jesus christ Jamie sdkjfhdkjdghk I am wheezing
Dani giving Mikey the nickname literally means everything to meeeeeeee
Dani picking up pamphlets for Ed and Jamie too is so cute
lmao Dani is like. a boy??? asking me to homecoming???? panic time
Rogerâs lil crush on Jamie is so funny bro ur barking up the wrong tree... in the wrong forest... in the wrong hemisphere... lost in space somewhere
Jamie getting to grow her own flowers is so wonderful and Dani recognising this is where sheâs the most fulfilled is so lovely (and I finally know where the pressed morning glory from the box is yus)
god Karen is so relentlessly mean to Dani why are u like this
Jesus christ the thought of Dani asking Nan what sodomy is. the heartattack she wld have
woof this like subtle âyouâll never be accepted bc itâs just not rightâ vibe from Karen in this whole conversation w Judy this is tooooo familiar. no wonder she just keeps repressing it all (should i be using this fic to process my own life probably not)
Jamie taking them to an outdoor picture theatre because Dani mentioned wanting to go one time ow my heart. this is basically their first date no?? flip thatâs cute. oh god a horror movie tho sdkjfhdjf Jamie
i think thereâs such an interesting thing of Dani and Jamie just... falling into each other in this really uneventful way and their whole relationship being this really full thing without a big realisation of âthis is what love/romance isâ and is probably half the reason Dani isnât really able to name it as that?? like i love it and i think itâs so sweet but I wonder if Jamie was ever able to actually say something if that would have finally tipped her tiny lil repressed brain over into realisation???
this whole bit is so sweetly innocent I love it
another day 3 days another emotional rollercoaster of a chapter gbless

So um, a few nights ago, I got really sad for no apparent reason, but as I started writing this fanfic. It might have sounded more like loneliness?? I listened to Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift and immediately I knew what I wanted to write. So I hope you guys like it. âșïž It's very short tho. Because I was really emotional lmao. I had to end it quickly. đ
Kento Nanami (sad fanfiction)
First pov (female x Kento Nanami)
__________________________________________
The night was chilly. The sound of the windy breeze in the dead air was flowing inside my bedroom. The full moon was shining beautifully in the reflection of the window. I turned to my side as I laid down to stare at the moon. It was rather a gloomy night. It was unusual for me not to enjoy nights like this. Eventhough we have them like every other day. But tonight felt different. It really shows inside the room of mine. It was silent, even the crickets were not making a sound. The only sound that was echoing in my ear was the wind. It felt like a relieving peacefulness but foreshadowed by the deafening silence. I let out a long sigh. Unknowingly, something was flying through my mind, bothering me like a pest.
Suddenly a hand slipped through my waist, and with a gentle force, Nanami pulled me near to him. Fitting myself inside his frame.
"Why aren't you asleep yet, darling?" He questioned, I can feel his breath on the nape of my neck. It still gives me the shiver as it always have.
"Nothing, sweetie." I said nonchalantly, hiding behind a facade. Usually, I wouldn't lie. But this unknowing cause of pain in my head, should be kept as a secret. Just for once, nobody has to read me as if I was an open book.
"Look at me, baby." Nanami voiced out, almost whispering. Despite the gentle request, it sounded almost like a demand. I turned slowly over to face him. I needed to learn how to not let anyone see through my eyes. They always know. Nanami was concerned. His face was solemned. He put his palm over my cheek. Caressing my skin gently as he traced my jawline. I looked over to his blonde hair that was given a bit of a shine from the moon that had reflected. I suddenly got sad for no apparent reason at all. What am I really afraid of?
"Take off your clothes." Nanami said, as sat up and took his shirt off. I was baffled, unable to access what he has on his mind.
"What are you doing?" I questioned, still unable to process his thoughts. From his body gesture, he wasn't and doesn't sound as if he was horny.
"Trust me, baby. Just take it off." Nanami said as he stripped off his pants leaving him with only his boxers on. "You can leave your panties on if you want." He said as he get back into the bed. I looked over to him from my right shoulder as I sat up, feeling slightly worried but I trusted him. So there goes my last line of defence. The moment I took off my bra, I felt as if I was finally in the open. As if I was in the ocean, with nothing to hold onto. Leaving myself as a feed to life in the ocean. Suddenly, I felt wet, something fell over my face. I looked up to see whether there was a leak on the roof. But there was none, it was mine.
I took a long breath, rubbing my eyes profusely as the tears kept flowing out. Nanami sat up with me, hugging me inside his big welcoming arms.
"Tighter, baby. Tighter." He encouraged as he hugged me so tight, I thought I couldn't breathe, but I could. I put my head over his shoulders the moment I tightened my arm around him, desperate for warmth. The tears kept coming out, rolling down his back. He gently laid down on his back, with me still in his arms. The sound of my crying was deafening, it was as if it was the sound of desperation, the last sound of one will hear before dying unnecessarily. As if I was gasping for help with no one here. But he's here with me. But why was he cold? Nanami strokes my hair. "You'll be okay. I'm here." He said calmly. He gently rubbed my back. But why wasn't there any signs of warmth? Why was he cold? The sound of my cries were getting louder now. Louder. Hiding the silence. I kept crying like a little girl whose parents were never there, whose toy had been broken. Whose a lover, that had died.
"I'll always be here." He said. The wind blew gently, and soon it rained. As if, the deity who was watching over me felt my heart.

ngc ramblings part 3- chapter 5
here we are at part 3!!! sorry this one took so long, i originally was gonna make this post include entropy and extus (along with finally talking about face in depth) but it was so fuckin long that im splitting it into 2 different posts! the next part isnt done yet but im like almost halfway done so it shouldnt be too much longer until its out! also before we get into this one:
tw for: death, animal death, and suicide. pls take care of urself and don't read this if those things are triggering for u <3
ok lets get on with the post
at the start of entropy zach doesnt waste any time getting right to the point. this place is bigger than the other planets so far, and zach says the music this time around is a melody that âstarted out normal but then got distortedâ played by a violin sounding instrument. even tho i do sometimes forget that this is supposed to be a creepypasta im not surprised that he said it made him feel depressed and unnerved lmao. anyways, this planet has all new level types in it!! no reused ones!! ok now this is epic. the bosses this time around are megalon, battra, and mechagodzilla, but itll be a good while before we get to those guys because this chapter is long as hell holy shit?? buckle up babez <33 now, before i get into the meat of things as usual im gonna talk abt the planet name! entropy basically means âa lack of order/predictability or a gradual decline into disorderâ and that's very accurate to this part of the story. at this point, red is pissed off and is getting desperate, which means from here on out things are going to be getting more intense and more unstable. this world is the turning point in the overall story, basically.
now with that out of the way, zach first goes to the worlds quiz level as usual! this time something was different. usually, in the quiz levels there would be goofy ass music playin in the bg (specifically the GH1D0RA cheat music, if you wanna like listen to it ig?) but from here on out its been replaced by the music from the games password screen, which zach called creepy earlier on in the pasta. im gonna glaze over the quiz again this time, but when we get to the next planet ill talk about all of the quizzes in depth all at once. basically all you need to know for now abt what happens here is face asks âdo you like mothra?â and when zach picks no (after going on a tangent abt how mothra sucks lmao,, bro i swear im good at the game my controllers just messed up /s), face enters bastard mode and goes âTOO BAD!â and boom now zach cant play as anyone but mothra. zach is pissed for now but little does he know this is just going to become an even more epic gamer bc of this,, youll never get better at something if you never try and all that.
after that, zach moves on to the first level type- the forest. immediately zach gets an eerie feeling from this level bc he has some kinda fear involving forests at night (i can think of a reason why but ill have to talk abt that later just to be sure). hes also not feelin great about being forced to play as mothra, so the pressure of it all is def starting to get to him by now. the music in the forest is woodwinds followed by slow, rhythmic drums and chiming bells. must have been some ominous woodwinds and bells bc it made him feel like he was intruding somewhere he shouldnt be (oh rlly?? u dont say,, everything up until now has been fine /s). getting into the level itself, eventually zach comes across some weird deer-like monsters just vibing and scares them away when he gets close. later in the level he finds more of these weird deer along with a sloth-like creature on some of the trees and some raptor dudes killing some of the deer. zach shoots one of the raptors but thats about it. nothing really happened in this level but zach noted that he didnt feel like he was playing a video game, but instead it felt more like he was exploring a forest in another dimension. thats interesting for reasons ill ~get to later~ (yall must be so tired of hearing that by now omg,, i know im tired of saying it at least. i was gonna wait until after replay to talk about things but i severely underestimated how long this whole project would be, so i might make a post for the âmore on that laterâ stuff before i get into replay. let me know what u think i should do).
anyways, the next thing zach checks out is the first tv screen level so far. these levels just play an animation with some music in the background, and theres a different animation per level. this time around the animation is of a kid with a beaver(?) head licking a lollipop and the music is the GH1D0RA music that the quiz levels used to use. the only thing of note here is that zach says he had a shirt that looked just like that when he was a kid. after that, were off to some of the weirdest fuckin levels in this whole thing imo- the hourglass levels. these levels have an entirely brown color palette, with grandfather clocks standing in the background (the level appears to be in like a hallway or something) and various time measuring things floating in the air. the music is the same as the board (ig cosby just didnt feel like thinking of what theme this place would have lol). after a little bit zach was rlly happy to see actual enemies from the normal game show up! these are basically like aircraft, tanks, etc. thats not the main attraction here tho, bc this level has its own unique mechanic! this mechanic is the colored hourglass items you can pick up. there are three of them, a blue one that slows time down and makes enemies from the past appear, a red one that speeds up time and makes enemies from the future appear, and a green one that made the time flow normally and spawned enemies from the normal game. zach found the blue one first, which caused a bunch of prehistoric enemies based on real animals to show up. after that he found a green one and fought normal enemies again, and then he found a red hourglass. the future enemies here look like aliens to me, and zach says that one enemy reminds him of something he saw in a book once. eventually, a special future creature showed up and zach was suddenly in a boss battle! or a mini boss battle? that description is probably more accurate. this guy doesnt have a face, and he can only attack by shooting a beam from his face, it sure does look cool! after zach beat it tho, he was off to the next level type, which is basically a toxic waste dump.
zach called it grungy and inhospitable, with the music being a synth ambient loop that made him feel dizzy while he listened to it. this is important because this is the first instance of the game making zach feel something *physically*, not just psychologically. all of the enemies here are mutated to some degree, with him first seeing green mummies with bird skulls coming out from vats of toxic slutch and a brownish cow skeleton monster with spider legs. later zach comes across a deer from the woods, drinking some toxic slutch (delinchous). zach got close to it to try making it stopped but suddenly some enemies came out of nowhere and scared it into running right off a ledge and into the slutch. rip :pensive:. after that zach found more mutated enemies (i.e some things with tentacles and some other deformed thing with human teeth) before he finally gets to the end of the level, where theres another miniboss waiting for him!! this ones a toxic sludge monster with a whale skull who attacks with a mouth projectile and by charging into you. the monster sank into the slutch and thats all for this level babeyy!
the next level is another forest, but this time its winter! its still at night, but this time zach doesnt feel off put, which he mostly attributes to the music. he describes it as a gentle, calm song that almost sounded romantic. the entire first segment of this level had no enemies in it, but dw this level is interesting i swear. the next segment starts out just as empty as the last one, but this time its silent. that is, until the music from âunforgiving coldâ starts playing. yaa you remember that place!! i think i said it was less interesting than i remembered but its interesting again now bc it was foreshadowing these levels!! anyways soon after the music started up, zach started to come across tons of frozen bodies of the deer from earlier. some were mutilated, some werent, but they were all frozen and covered in snow. eventually zach does come across something living though, a sloth creature from earlier! its just vibing when suddenly the winter versions of the raptors from earlier rush in and fuckin obliterate the sloth thing. those things just blindly try killing everything in sight, and even start fighting themselves before zach finally gets to the last part of the level.
now this is where shit starts to get crayzay. this part opens up to a big empty field with a full moon and the nice music from earlier back. despite the nice music tho, zach immediately starts feeling dread and eventually he finds a lake. the lake comes down from the sky and starts to crack like an egg, a humanoid figure curled up in the fetus position dropping into the lake below and the moon halves disintegrated. this spawned the moon beast, the hardest challenge zachs had to deal with so far. after he finally defeats it, the screen goes to black and the name âmelissaâ is on screen, written in red. after that, the screen then says kys. the word kill then fills up the screen, layering over itself until it forms a picture of reds face. its now that we finally get to hear abt the whole melissa thing (which makes it sound like shes been mentioned in the pasta before this but thats not what i mean lmao). to summarize, zach had a middle school gf named melissa (also bro middle school?? wadda hell) who often went into âepisodesâ where she would stare off, expressionless, before trembling and putting her face in her hands. she and zach hung out in a field at night a lot but one night she just stared at the moon the whole time before running into traffic and dying.
NOW its finally later!!! were not done with entropy yet, but this is the end of part one of entropy so i wanna just take a little break to talk about things so far. this planet is FULL of symbolism and foreshadowing. to start off, i think a lot of the questions face asks at the beginning foreshadow things that happen. some examples are âis time slipping though your fingers?â which could allude to the time levels, âdo you have any regrets?â which i think obviously foreshadows the whole melissa thing, âis it safe to go out at night?â and âdo you find it hard to sleep at night?â both follow the same kinda theme, which i think relates to how the melissa incident happened at night, specifically out at night. i dont think the forest levels have anything too important in them, other than to introduce the presence of an innocent, harmless creature that doesnt deserve what happens to it later (aka the deer things) which might symbolize melissa. more evidence for this symbolizing melissa comes from the encounter with the deer in the toxic dump and the winter forest, where in the former zach tries to stop it from hurting itself but is too late, being forced to watch it die, and in the latter the same innocent thing from earlier is found dead close to where the real incident took place. the two big themes to keep in mind here are death and time, more specifically the past. most of the enemies here are either made from bones or kill other enemies, there's a dedicated time level referencing things that zach remembers seeing at one point (aka that one alien zach recognized), the beaver head had the same shirt as child zach did, it all connects to zachs past and the death of melissa. as for the moon beast, its the most obvious reference for reasons ive already explained. i dont really know what the moon cracking open and dropping a curled up human into the lake could mean other than some other thing melissa related, but i *do* think that the fact that the moon beast is the most difficult thing zach has faced so far is symbolic of the fact that the trauma from this event has followed him throughout his entire life, and its something he struggles with daily. it could even be the reason why he said no when face asked if he could sleep easily at night. the moon beast also has some black fur around its neck, which i think is meant to represent a tire track, referencing and/or mocking the way melissa died.
its so cool how this entire part of the story builds up to and foreshadows the bomb it drops at the end of the part, giving people something to look back on. a lot of ppl say that as soon as the melissa stuff gets introduced the story goes down in quality, and i do somewhat agree with that sentiment, especially if they want the story to actually be scary, but i think the direction the story goes from this point on is so unique and cool. it does follow the whole âtheres a ghost in the gameâ troupe (even tho it was probably seen as a spin on that originally) but it doesnt do the same cliches as so many other gaming creepypastas do and it really takes the concept and makes it its own. i just think its neat,,,
anyways im done gushing abt this story, lets get on with part 2 of extus!! basically zach has a fuckin panic attack and, after taking a few minutes to calm himself down when its over, he decides that he has to finish the game now because if he doesnt its just going to haunt him for the rest of his life. zach has now realized that the game is âaliveâ and can somehow see his thoughts and memories, so understandably hes pretty freaked out by it at this point. when he keeps playing, the first thing he does is check out another tv screen level. this time, the animation is of a fish dude just kinda standing there with his mouth flapping open and closed and the music is the neptune board music from the original game. the only reason i can think of for why this is here is maybe the game is mocking zach for the panic attack he just had (bc when u have a panic attack you feel like you can barely breathe, if ur lucky enough to have never had one before and u dont know) but thats abt it. its probably just a random goofy thing cosby threw in there.
anyways, the next actual level is the first labyrinth level. this time around, its a gold labyrinth specifically. the music in these levels is a slow, ominous drum beat with female vocals occasionally coming in and (basically from here on out) the monster zach plays as is now half the size it used to be. i think this shows how zachs feeling at this point, like this whole thing isnt just being a big strong monster and beating up enemies any more, he feels small and scared and helpless in the face of something potentially dangerous that he doesnt understand maybe his confusion about the game is the reason *why* theres so many labyrinth levels here in the first place. anyways im getting ahead of myself. personally, i think the aesthetic of the gold labyrinth is very similar to the green temples back on trance. while trance had a more circular and soft theme to it's architecture and sculpture, entropys is much more square or rectangle oriented. despite this, i think that the golden mazes at least are another religious kind of building, and the architecture is just different because theyre two different cultures who just happen to worship the same spiritual figure (aka melissa. did i say that earlier? i think i did,, if i didnt well the religions worship melissa, not knowing she's a dead human or anything. probably).
moving on, zach notes how the gold labyrinth would probably have been impossible to navigate as any of the other monsters, so turns out face being an asshole was a blessing in disguise after all huh? anyways this place is full of weird gold monsters, lava/fire traps, and stone faces (both in more of an easter island head style and in the regular feminine headshot weve seen so far). zach comes across two feminine heads, one that is more adult looking and pure gold, and another one that looks much younger and whos eyes have red irises and blue scleras. this statue apparently looks a lot like melissa did on the night she died, so zach leaves it pretty quickly. i *think* this is the first time we see the color blue associated with melissa? if it isnt sorry abt that, its been a couple days since i worked on ngcr so ive forgotten some of the smaller or more subtle things by now. GOD i keep getting side tracked ANYWAYS eventually zach finds a non-gold enemy and sees it get picked up by like an arcade crane claw. hes curious so he follows the claw, only to see the monster be put in a big gold cauldron and walk out the side of it as a gold monster.
gonna be honest, no idea what the hell this could mean. like? theres been no themes of corruption or good things becoming evil so far so this just kinda. exists,, yea idk lol. im not part of like any discord servers or anything so all this theorizing and analysis has just been me, maybe getting some small ideas from like random youtube comments or something, so if something ive said so far has been unanimously disagreed with somewhere i dont know about it. thats also why this isnt really a definitive or comprehensive analysis (even tho im trying to be as comprehensive as i can).
anyways zach finds the exit soon after and hes on to the next level type (there's so fucking many of them ik dont worry weve almost gotten to all of them now), the indigo cliffs. the background of these levels is similar to the blue mountains from trance, but now the moon and clouds from the toxic dump background is also here (and colored indigo to match). the music here is just a deep rumbling noise. the first âenemiesâ he sees here are just a bunch of multicolored little guys coming out of a hole in the ground and jumping off a cliff. were continuing the death theme yall!! anyways zach continues, flying over some more weird creatures (tho some of them just look like dinosaurs lol) before he sees a bunch more of the multicolored guys out and about but this time theyre getting grabbed by birds!! wadda heel!!! zach comments on how the multicolored dudes seem eager to die and thinks maybe the moon has something to do with it (like melissa dude wat!!!! that's crazy /s). at the end of the level there were some more multicolored dudes just walking into a creatures mouth so zach attacked the thing and killed it and the levels over yay!
now its time for the bosses babeyy!!! first zach fights battra (basically an evil moth kaiju), the music is varans theme. battra starts off in his larvae form, where he basically just fought by running into you and shooting stuff at you. while fighting this form, zach noticed that the game buffed mothra because his gamer skillz were too cringe lmaoo. he beats the larvae form and battra goes into his second form, where hes basically a stronger clone of mothra (misogyny). zach fights battra and has fun doing it (for once,, good for him) and he wins yay! next hes fighting megalon (a big beetle/bug kaiju), whos music was gigans theme. im tired when im writing this so ill just give you zachs description of how he fought: âstrong, persistent, but dumbâ. after this, zach checks out the last tv screen of entropy. this time, it shows a big buff guy with a sack over his head hit a womans head with a sledgehammer while shes tied to a table or something. the music for it was the password theme. i think this is probably here because red is getting angrier? like this guy is still here after i triggered his ptsd?? what the hell!!!
anyways before we get to the last boss we have one last level type to get through- the shadow labyrinth. at this point, zach starts to feel drained because no shit sherlock you just had a panic attack and youve been playing this game for fuckin several hours at this point of course youre fuckin drained. anyways zach enters the shadow labyrinth, which is a black recolor of the gold labyrinth. the music is âevil ambienceâ similar to unforgiving colds music but distinctly different apparently. there werent any enemies so zach just kinda wandered for a while until the lights turned off, darkening the whole screen and (secretly) spawning tons of spooky enemies thatll chase and hit mothra in the dark. eventually the lights came back on and zach started scrambling to the exit. when the lights turned back off, zach was able to find one of the melissa looking statues and stood next to it. it warded off the monsters while the lights were off, so zach was safe. i think this shows 2 things: 1) its a little more validation for my âreligion in this world worships melissaâ theory and 2) it foreshadows the way melissa wants to protect zach at the end of the game. zach beat the shadow labyrinth a lot faster than the gold one so were done with all the stages now!! now theres only the last boss and red and were done with entropy!
the last boss is mechagodzilla, but when zach starts the level, normal godzilla is there instead!! its whatever tho bc soon the disguise is gone and its just pretty much the normal mechagodzilla fight (but now hes got a gay beam). at about half health tho, mechagodzillas sprite breaks into pieces like gezoras did way back on earth and reforms into not-mechagodzilla. even tho it looks uncanny (and the usage of the face statue on the front is probably there to further mock zach bc melissa) zach beats it p easily and now its time for the chase. ba dum ba dum thats the sound of a chase.
as usual tho, before i get to the red chase its time to talk about entropy as a planet!! i think the best way to describe the layout is âa big forest with a toxic waste dump in it takes up half the planet while the other half is a large religious temple/labyrinth with a dangerous underbellyâ. there doesnt seem to be any intelligent life there now (its all dead by now probably) but there was at some point at least because imean the huge labyrinth is there dude!!! i dont have much to say for this section tbh bc i feel like i've already said everything i wanted to, so its time for the chase ig!!
basically the chase with red here takes place in a labyrinth level bc of course it does. this labyrinth, however, seems to be made of some kind of organic matter. is it flesh? organs? nondescript viscera? idk but it's pulsating and bloody. also this time red has wings too!! anyways, basically zach avoids red throughout the maze, red breaks through one of the walls with his big alien tongue, and zach gets to the end of the maze. nothing crazy happens at the end of this chapter (i think it was crazy enough as is) so thats the end of that and now its time for the penultimate planet- extus.

I came to some realizations after Azrielâs bonus chapter.
a) it took place in the middle of the book, not the end. This was also relatively close to the time where Elain kept stating that she wanted a human mate, not a fae.
b) I think Azriel is extremely desperate for love. Do I think he feels some sort of attraction (whether sexual or romantic) towards Elain? Yes. Do I think that heâs also just extremely needy for love after seeing his two brothers find their mates in quick succession and now he sees his chance to find a partner himself after lining after the same girl for 500 years? Yes.
c) Azriel needs to fix his damn self because I donât like the fact that he said he hadnât thought further then bedding Elain when she seems like a sweet girl who has a whole lot more character exploring to come (or at least I hope so). Also dislike how Lucien respects Azriel and the 2 seemed to get along quiet well throughout the book, yet Azriel was ready to legit kill Lucien who is an absolute gem to me.
d) I find it interesting how the bonus chapter started with Elain and Azriel and ended with Gwyn and Azriel. Might be foreshadowing, might be a build up for angst, idk.
e) I canât wait for that necklace re gift to blow up in Azrielâs face.
f) I donât like how Elain is treating Lucien. It may be the fact that she doesnât want to accept that she is now Fae and has a Fae mate, but at least talk to the man or at the very least be civil to him. Lucien is one of my favourite characters and that dude just canât catch a break. Iâm not saying she has to accept him (because no man is entitled to Elain, she is her own woman and should be treated as such) but donât string my poor fox boy around. And especially donât entertain the idea of sleeping with another guy under the same roof as him. Either reject him or talk it out with him.
g) there are so many different ways these next books can go but my main concern is how sjm is gonna find new worldly conflicts (not romantic ones because holy shit we have enough of those) because it kinda feels like the storyline is just being dragged a bit.
h) Iâm a Gwynriel shipper but Iâm not completely opposed to Azriel and Elain getting together. As long as Gwyn and Lucien donât get fucked over (especially Gwyn considering her past with men) and both Az and El donât have to sacrifice integral parts of their characters to be together then Iâm cool with it.
I really liked ACOSF and there are so many different paths that the storyline could now go. We got 2 different cliches that could be done too lmao. SJM is a talented writer and I do want to see all my favourite characters get a happily ever after and while Iâm excited to see whatâs to come, I canât help but be worried that I might be let down. This series is a great one, but itâs going on for a while. I sometimes feel like it should have just ended after ACOWAR, but I still have faith in the next couple of books. I also wish that this fandom wouldnât be so nasty when it comes to something as trivial as ships, but oh well! Sorry for the ridiculously long ask, but I had so many thoughts about that bonus chapter!
okay okay so Iâve been on my phone for a couple days and when I read this I was like WOW THIS NEEDS A FULL KEYBOARD RESPONSE BECAUSE SEVERAL POINTS WERE MADE--
first off, I totally agree that this stuff is just discourse and like no one should be fighting or like idfk sending weird death threats over ships or the simple fact that they liked a book or a chapter like itâs not that deep itâs just speculation let people like what they like....but back to the Az bonus chapter...
I specifically want to talk about points B, C, and F.Â
B-- so I think youâre so right about Az being desperate for love. like heâs gone so long feeling that unrequited shit for Mor and before maybe it wasnât a big deal to him because his brothers were seemingly unattached too. but now that Rhys and Cassian are both mates and fucking head over heels for Feyre and Nesta, I think heâs feeling his separation from that happiness acutely and it just seems like star-crossed fate shit that there should be three brothers and three sisters (as cheesy as it feels and sounds and how trope-y it is) so maybe the lust he feels for Elain is just that base need to feel SOMETHING in the face of what he can see and hear and fckn *smell* at the River House and the House of Wind every damn day. and Elain is frankly an easy target. sheâs quiet with a sense of humor and a fuckload of trauma....sheâs someone for Az to be gentle with and nurture. and when he says âmaybe the cauldron was wrongâ like you feel the pain and resentment there...that the other sisters were seemingly made for his brothers and he should be left out. I feel bad for him but at the same time....
C--DUDE WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT KILLING LUCIEN AND HOW EASY IT WOULD BE....like thatâs some Class A territorial fae bastard shit right there...not seen since the likes of Rowan Whitethorn (though in truth I do love it on him but he was that way for AELIN, HIS MATE)...I donât think Sarah breathed life into the idea of the cauldron making a mistake for nothing, but I also just donât think she belongs in the Night Court...all those comments about how much Elain would love Spring Court and sunshine and light....Iâve said this before but the Court of Nightmares solstice scene where Cassian basically calls Elain plain in her Night Court black dress was a huge yikes for me. like the Night Court clearly dims her spirit. it doesnât fit her aesthetic, you know? anyways Iâm getting off track...Azrielâs preoccupation with Elain right now from his POV seems almost entirely sexual so maybe like rethink that bro.Â
F--okay yes, while I donât think Elain is âbeholdenâ to anyone and no male should feel entitled to her or be FIGHTING BLOOD DUELS OVER HER WTF???? I do agree that she has treated Lucien pretty much like shit. she hasnât tried to understand the situation or the history (at least from what weâve seen) of the mating bond and how neither of them chose this. like Lucien is as much a victim of the situation as she is, he just has the benefit of understanding what it means in fae culture to have a mate and the pain it causes to reject it. like she just avoids him instead of out-right saying no so heâs just being strung along. like let him go if you donât want to be with him. and while Lucien has made some shitty decisions (I will never forgive him for his complicity in ACOMAF), this kind of pain shouldnât be his punishment...like Rhys wouldnât have to deal in absolutes with Azriel if Elain would just MAKE THE DECISION because then itâs not a challenge for Elain. itâs Elain making a choice, just like theyâre fond of allowing women to make in the damn Night Court. my problem with Elain has never been with her femininity or her perceived lack of personality (which is canon now pls) it has always been with her lack of action and the inner circle enabling her to sit and do nothing--EVEN WHEN SHE MIGHT WANT TO. yes Iâm talking about that moment where everyone is all up in arms about âexposingâ Elain to the darkness of the dread trove and all but throwing Nesta to the wolves...I screamed when Cassian was like âBUT NESTA SHOULD???â ugh pissed me off so much.Â
anyways clearly we both have a lot of feelings lmao I will scream about this series until I die I s2gÂ

I Heard That you Fell in Love or Near Enough
hm yes TITLE :D (mmmm slowed my beloved). Look a way longer chapter because weâre setting up some fun foreshadowing and I just went nuts with internal dialogue. So much fun with this lmao. Itâs v chaoticÂ
Maeve x Lucas. From bad to worse. 4.5k (we arent gonna TALK ABOUT IT)
TW (more squicky than anything): mention of blood, robbery, LOTS of languageÂ
@dela-png
To say today was a terrible day was the understatement of the century.Â
First she didnât get any sleep due to some noise going on close by. Of course it had to be loud on the first day she was actually willing to sleep in mm say...two three days? So she was even more irritated in the morning.Â
Then of course after eating she went downstairs and screamed so loud she broke her soundproofing charms.
Fan-bloody-fucking-tastic.
She kicked at the broken pieces of what used to be one of her tables. Looked like someone took a running jump and broke it.Â
And to top it all off she had been robbed.Â
She let out a frustrated yell, muffling it by biting down on her knuckles.Â
âGods and stars fuck,â she snarled, stomping her foot once as she tried to think things over. There was paint.Â
There was paint everywhere.
And donât even get her started on the blood.
Bloodied handprints! All over her front door! Smeared along with the paint.
âAnd what the fuck is with this W?!â She spun to look at her back wall, palms open. Blue paint. Like her tattoos. She rubbed her arms as she moved closer to look at it.Â
Crescent spots. A W. What was this? A threat?Â
They left a calling card of course it was a threat. But why against her? Did she do something? Not that she remembered.Â
Was it to get to someone?
But who? She had cut off everyone who tried to get close besides the kids. And she doubted someone would go to...these extremes to get back at a child.
Maybe she did something.Â
But even if she did, what did these even mean? Wouldnât it be more effective to threaten someone who recognized the markings?Â
Ugh it was giving her a headache.Â
She moved to her trashed backroom, grabbing a cleaning bucket and a rag. Taking the green handkerchief from itâs hook and rolling up her sleeves she knew it was going to be a doozy of a day.Â
And of course, with her luck, her lucky stars, it got worse.Â
~~
She collapsed against her counter, now covered in blood and so much fucking blue paint. They had painted those damn animal print spots all over her fucking clinic.Â
AND they had stolen the medicines she kept locked up! Including the herbs she made them from!
Oooh if she ever got her hands on the thieves she was going to make them regret laying eyes on her clinic. String them up she would. Might even skin them like a fish if she was in the mood.Â
Oh great sheâd have to go to the market as well. Sure she was now out of food. She had been meaning to go.Â
But fucking hell did she not want to.Â
She adjusted the green handkerchief (it...stopped smelling like him), cleaned her paint stained hands down the front of her skirt and steeled her nerves.
Oh she hated going to the market for many many many reasons.
Reasons she was not going to go into.
Grabbing her basket and muttering to herself angrily, she slammed the door to her clinic shut, locked it and then stared.Â
â...theyâre going to come back. Dipshits wonât stop. Not after one night,â she huffed, resting her palms on the door.
Locking charms. Right.Â
Aislin taught her this one.Â
Breathing in and holding the air, she willed her magic to life. A gentle warmth settled across her skin, small locks appearing at her fingertips. This didnât take energy from her, she pulled from the air around her. Aislinâs magic was more wind and air stuff so this was easier for her younger sister anyways. Much stronger than Maeveâs locks.Â
Speaking of, thank goddess her charms held. She didnât know what wouldâve happened if whoever stopped by had managed to get into her house.Â
Stepping away to admire the fading glow on her door, she nodded, satisfied. There. Those would have to do. She might need to update her soundproofing charms though.Â
Who knew the neighbors didnât like it when patients screamed? The things you could get away with back home.Â
Stepping away from her clinic she made her way down the street.Â
Maybe if she tried a disguise spell so she wouldnât be botheredâŠ
No, that wouldnât work. She was shit at disguise spells. No one in her family was good at them. Last time her SeanmhĂĄthair tried she grew a fake beard and it didnât go away for a week.Â
...fine she would just suffer then.Â
Itâs not like once she got there anything could possibly get worse. No sir. Only being fucking robbed and then having to deal with the market.Â
All she had to deal with for today.Â
Letting out a sigh she walked into the market. It didnât take her long to start gathering medication and plants. Of course they were backwater stalls.Â
But itâs always been like that.Â
Feeling a bit lighter she started to hum as she went through her mental checklist. Still didnât have aloe, the asshats stole her entire fucking plant.Â
...she also didnât have anything to make lunch.
Great.Â
She opened her eyes, turning around to go look for something to eat, letting out another small sigh. Â
And there was Lucas.Â
She choked on her sigh.Â
Why oh why did he have to be there today of all days. She couldnât even go back home! She needed something to eat (thinking about it now she hadnât eaten in quite a bit) but noooo.Â
So why did all those stars and spirits above decide today would be a good day for him to come to the market as well?
Sometimes she wondered if some deity had it out for her.
She turned to quietly sneak away.
âThumb- Maeve?â
...oh fucking fuck.Â
She forced a smile, slowly turning back around. Mmmm so this was how today was going to go. Fucking fantastic. âGiiiiant.â
...too informal, too informal. Abort mission.
He flinched a little at the nickname. Ah yes, this is definitely how she wanted her afternoon to go. This was perfect. So wonderful.Â
She was going to fight whatever star had been assigned to watch over her and her fate.
âWhat are you doing here?â
Wow it wasnât obvious? â...shopping. What else would I be here for?â
âShopping for what?â
Oh she did not like his tone. Her eyes narrowed. Her basket swung off her wrist as she placed her hand on her hip. Sure maybe snapping at a seven foot tall man who was still fairly hurt and mad at her (for good reason) was not the smartest thing she couldâve done butâŠ
She was in a terrible mood and ready to just go home and call it a day. Of course after she actually got what she needed for dinner. And actually eat something. Â
âDo I have to tell you anything?â she huffed. âI am here to get something to eat for dinner and herbs to make more medication? There? Is the marketplace police happy?â
His eyes widened. âO-Oh! Didnât mean to come acrossâŠâ The softness and the...actual innocence of the apology sent her reeling. Then, as her luck would fucking have it, he seemed to remember he was still mad at her. â...sorry.â
She rolled her eyes, moving to look past him. Fine. This was fine. She just needed to get something for her to eat. Maybe something for Tehi. The old bat would kill her if she went hungry.Â
Maybe she herself could deal without dinner.Â
Her mood soured even more when she spotted mortal enemy of Maeve #1.Â
The fruit stand guy. Malory. (it was a very unfortunate name)
Maloryâs eyes narrowed when he spotted her. âWell well well, if it isnât the little thief.â
She shifted away from Lucas, glad she now had someone to direct her building frustrations to.Â
âI am no thief, you just want me gone!â she sneered, glaring at him. âYou accuse me of taking things and then try and get me arrested! Every time I come here! Without fucking fail! Arenât you tired of it?!â
âI will never be tired of it until I see the likes of you behind bars!â
âUnfuckingbelievable!â She threw her hands into the air. âI am not a thief! It was an accident. Tehi was hungry and I paid for it!â
âYour little bat has it out for me! And her owner is no prize either.â
She gasped in offense. âYou fucking dickjerk ASSHOLE!â Her footsteps were loud to her ears against the rush of blood. Oh he got on her very last nerve. EVERY TIME! She jutted a finger at him as she growled. âI. Did. Not. Steal. Your. Shitty. Merchandise!â Well that was a half lie. His produce was quite good.Â
Itâs why Tehi stole from him so much.Â
All too bad the guy selling was a balding old man who had it out for her. A vendetta!Â
âMalory you are a slimy weasel who has no idea what heâs fucking talking about! Tehi was hungry. I caught her and I paid for the few grapes she had stolen. What else do you want?!â
âFor you to go to jail!â
She was on the verge of fighting him.Â
This close.Â
âFor the last time,â she snarled, stomping closer as she felt her skin heat up with her rage. She slammed her hands on the counter of his stall, opening her mouth to snap back. The others around went quiet with the show they were getting. She. Was. Going. To. Kill-
The ground under her feet was all of a sudden not under her feet.Â
And she was thrown over someoneâs shoulder. Like a sack of flour.Â
âPut me down! I demand it! Right this instant!â she yelled, smacking the back of the person who had picked her up.Â
Gray shirt.Â
Oh fucking hell. Today was just not her fucking godamned day. Maybe if she became a hermit things would go her way in the luck department.Â
âLucas set me down!âÂ
âMaeve as angry I am with you I donât want to watch you murder someone and then get sent to jail.â
âWell he would fucking deserve it!â
âMurder is still murder no matter how much he deserves it.â
She sulked, propping her face up with her hand, elbow resting on his back. âI thought you hated me.â
âItâs broad daylight. Very least do it at night.â
âKilljoy.â
She and Malory glared at one another. âFuck off,â she sniffed, lifting her hand in a very vulgar gesture.Â
âMaeve!â
âGuards! Guards! These two stole from me!â
âFUCK YOU TOO, MALORY!â
âMaeve!âÂ
She kicked her legs. Didnât Lucas like, hate her? This was the first time they saw one another in weeks and it was a total fucking accident.Â
âPut me down!â
â...youâre going to give the guards a reason to arrest you if I do.â
âYeah? He would FUCKING DESERVE IT!â She yelled the last part at the fruit vendor, still flipping him off. âDroch ĂĄird chĂșgat lĂĄ gaoithe! Go mbrise an diabhal do dhĂĄ chois! Go ndĂ©ana an diabhal drĂ©imire do chnĂĄmh do dhroma!â
âMaeve what the hell are you saying?â
âDroch chrĂch ort! Droch chrĂch ort!â she said, waving her arms. âGo dtuitfeadh an tigh ort!âÂ
âMaeve I have no idea what youâre saying but watch your language.â
âYou canât tell me what to do,â she said, sticking her tongue out. âIf I want this asshatâs house to fall on him I will tell him such!â
â...you said what?â
âYou heard me! Go dtuitfeadh an tigh ort! Fucking bastard.â She sneered at Malory, who was still calling for the guards. Who were coming around.
Quickly.Â
Ah fuck.Â
And goody for Lucas, he was now an accomplice.Â
Meaning she wouldnât be able to get rid of him.Â
Though judging by how people gave him a wide berth it wouldnât be the absolute worst thing. Maybe sheâd actually be left alone. (but why did people look so skittish? And then there was the anger? What the fuck did he fucking do?!)
â...shall I escape with you or do you want me to leave you behind?â He was still hurt. She could hear it.
But this was a short truce.Â
She sulked, falling limp. âFine. Carry me away. Just to a hiding spot. You can hide in one of the alcoves down the street if you hurry.â
â...thank you for the tip.â His voice was just dripping with sarcasm.Â
âWell Iâm sorry if I do this every other week and know what Iâm doing!â
âYouâre also tiny! You think I can fit in an alcove?â
âFine! Donât listen to me! Just set me down and let me get arrested! Save yourself.â
âYou know Iâm not gonna do that.â
âOh you hate me anyways,â she groused, her filter was coming completely off as he moved quickly through the market. Guards shouted after them as he dodged the crowd. âWhy not just abandon me?â
âStop being dramatic, I'm not abandoning you.â
âHmph you didnât even touch the hate me part.â
âJust because Iâm saving your ass doesnât mean Iâm not mad.â
âAh! So you do hate me!â
âI never said that.â He didnât elaborate, only tapped his fingers lightly on her thighs.Â
She squirmed. âHey buster watch the hands.âÂ
âNervous tic.â
Even with his defense he didnât stop. Little bastard.Â
She kicked her legs a little as he ducked into an alleyway. It wasnât what she recommended but oh well.Â
âHey stop that, youâll get us caught,â he huffed as she tried smacking his nose with her heel. He shifted out of the way.Â
âPut me down.â
âIf you promise to be quiet Iâll put you down.â
â...fine.â She didnât promise.Â
He set her down, she huffed and dusted off the front of her skirt.Â
âMalory is a fucking dick,â she muttered.Â
âI thought you promised youâd be quiet.â
She stuck her tongue out at him again, getting more irritated by the second. âI never promised that. Only said âfineâ.â
His eyes narrowed as he crossed his arms. âDonât be a child.â
âIâll have you know,â she snarled, pointing a finger at him. He almost went cross eyed staring at it. âI have had the shittiest fucking day today and seeing you has done nothing to improve my mood or overall day so thanks a fucking lot.â
â...youâre really going to blame me now?â
âWell I do not appreciate being picked up and thrown over your shoulder when I had the situation under control.â
âYou were going to kill him.â
âI was and as Iâve said many many times; he wouldâve deserved it.â
Lucas seemed to weigh what he would say next. She huffed, staring up at him with her fists at her sides. Damn him and his height. She was going to strangle the person that decided making him this fucking tall was a good fucking idea it made fucking arguing with him or even just ranting a pain in her neck. Literally.Â
âUgh!â she yelled, standing on her tiptoes to be at least a little taller.Â
God fucking damnit she was just BARELY up to his shoulders now. He looked almost amused as she puffed up her chest a little.Â
âYou listen here buster,â she snarled, shifting so they were chest to chest. âI have had it up to here with the BULLSHIT I just had to put up with today!âÂ
His face was red.
Why the fuck was his face red?!
Excuse you sir, she was in the middle of a RANT here.Â
And he was still fucking mad at her for the shit she pulled. Yeah sure it was to protect him. Yeah sure she should not be as close as she was to him at that moment. She should also not be ranting. She should also not have been robbed didnât she lock her doors?!
Also why the fuck was he still adorable when blushing?! Unfair! She was calling bullshit! She was supposed to be distancing herself and her feelings to not feel attracted to him. But nooooo the gods and stars above just had to bless him with being so fucking adorble she wanted to kiss him. Oh stars and spirits she was not going off on a fucking mental tangent about wanting to kiss him. That was not going to happen.
Even though she was close enough to.Â
Gods why did everything have to be so fucking complicated?!Â
Thatâs it she was going to fight someone.Â
âHey! Are you listening?â she asked, they were now chest to chest. She was off kilter with being on her tiptoes, back arching to get a good look at him. God fucking- height.Â
She growled, settling back down onto her heels. He pursed his lips to keep from laughing and that was it and that was the last straw.
She pulled him down by his ear, hissing through her teeth. âYou listen to me here Lucas whatever-the-fuck your last name is.â
âK-Karimov.â He stumbled a little with the weird angle which she was holding him in. But somehow, the filter was off and so was her ability to care.Â
âThank you. You listen to me here, Lucas Karimov. I do not want to be stuck in this alleyway with you anymore than you want to be stuck with me. Today has had it OUT for me the whole fucking day!â
He seemed to hear something but she was too caught up in herself fuming to notice. âMaeve-â
âAnd donât get me fucking started on what happened to me this fine morning-â
âMaeve!â He shifted out of her grasp.Â
â-with my clinic and the mess I had to- MMPH!â He slapped his hand over her mouth, shoving her roughly against the alley wall, caging her in between his legs and resting his elbow beside her cheek.Â
âShut up,â he whispered, looking over his shoulder.Â
She watched the guards run by their hiding spot, yelling about hearing something.Â
His face was so close to hers, his breath tickling her ear as he murmured to her. âYouâll get us caught.â
She glared at him over his palm. He wasnât looking at her. Her brows furrowed as she squirmed, but he held firm. He didnât let go of her even as the guards disappeared.Â
So she took matters into her own hands.Â
Or well, between her teeth.Â
So she bit down on his hand. Hard.Â
He pulled away with a yelp. She scrubbed at her mouth with the back of her hand as he nursed his wound.Â
âYou...you bit me!â
She placed her hands on her hips. âYou needed to let me go!â
âYou bit me!â
âIndeed I did!â
âWhat put you in such a sour mood?â he muttered, rubbing the bite gently.Â
âHm? Bad mood? Me?â Her eye twitched a little. She was so done. She was actually ready to sleep for a million years.Â
Fuck the nightmares he was starting to star in she was done.Â
âYeah! Me getting fucking robbed was great to put me in the best of fucking moods!â she snapped, pacing around the small space of the alley while she waited for the clear.Â
She shocked him into a stunned silence. âYou were...what?â
Her head whipped around and her eyes were deathly narrowed. Absolutely done.Â
âHeavens and stars are ya deaf?â Oh no her accent was coming out. Fan-fucking-tastic her accent was coming out. âI was fuckin robbed! So I was not put in the bestest of moods today so you get to see me when Iâm irritated. I know! Iâm so fucking fun arenât I?â
Who wouldâve guessed having her clinic trashed and her things stolen then having to deal with both LUCAS and MALORY would put her in such a sour mood that she didnât even care if half of her words were clouded by her accent?! Oh and being handled like a sack of potatoes REALLY added to it! Then being pinnedâŠ
Hmm okay being pinned against the wall by Lucas wasnât the worst thing to happen to her that fine day.Â
Even so she felt the tiniest spark of pride at biting him.Â
Was she guilty over that? Surprisingly no.
Check back later.Â
âWho...who robbed you?â
âShit if I know! Iâm sure that weird thing I found was a fuckin callin card though. Why do you care?â
âCalling card?â
âIt was a pain in the fuckin ass to clean too! I donât know where the hell they got all that blue paint to paint my entire back wall but they fucking did it! And then leaving the weird stains on my door. Blue and I donât know probably blood. All and all it was fucking disgusting.âÂ
â...blue paint? What did they paint?â
She rubbed her temples. She did not have to share this with him. She did not have to share this with him. âSome weird crescent spots and a letter. Took forever to clean.â
Annnd she shared it with him.
âSpots? Letter?â
She cracked one eye open. âYeah. I think they were either leopard or cheetah spots. Letter was a fucking W. And then they tried to break into my house and left bloody handprints! I had quite the scare this morning.â
All the colour drained from his face.Â
âBlue...cheetah marks?â
âDid you just...ignore everything I just said? Yes! And blood! Like everywhere! They tried to break into my house and I donât know why I am sharing this with you I should not be sharing this with you and I am going to regret this later but oh well I have no filter and Iâm rambling.â
There was a slight anger swirling in his eyes. Barely contained.Â
Even with how pissed she was it spooked her.Â
What did he have to be angry about?Â
âWere you hurt?â
âDoes it look like Iâve been hurt?â He crossed his arms. She threw her hands into the air. âNo! I have locking charms on my door. I didnât hear them because of the sound proofing charms I have on my clinic and above that in my flat.â
Why the fuck did she just mention that?!
And she kept fucking going.Â
This was it.Â
If he didnât hate her before because she rejected his kiss (like a fucking MORON. She did have a good reason for it (at least to herself. She was such a liar) but why oh why did she have to break things off with him. Granted if she kissed him that wouldâve made things so much worse even though she really wanted to kiss him holy fuck she wanted to kiss him why was this hitting her now of all times when he was so close why was he so close and why did he look so scared and so pissed?!) he would definitely hate her now.Â
Nice fucking going OâConnor. You did it. Messed up one of the only good relationships youâve had in a while not just once but twice.Â
Give the girl a medal.Â
âDo you need help cleaning it up?â
âMy tables are broken and I need to fix them and set them up again but I cleaned up this morning. All my medications and herbs were stolen. My tools. Stolen. My clinic? Fucking wrecked. Fruit stand guy? Tried to get me arrested again. You? Pick me up like I weigh nothing. So yeah. Having a great fucking day today.â
â...you are scary when irritated.â
âOh and you barely scratched the fucking surface. I. Am. Going. To. Kill. SOMEONE!â
âCalm down Maeve the guards could hear-â
âI am not going to fucking calm down. I have bottled up everything for too fucking long. The only time I could sleep in peace was fucking ruined by my neighbors being obnoxious. And they bitch about me. So no a ghrĂĄ mo chroĂ, I am not calming down! You havenât talked to me in weeks and now that you do you tell me how to feel and no. I am so done! I am done with you, I am done with Malory and I am done with the shitty fucking gods who decided creating me and giving me my fucking luck was a good fucking idea!â
Hold on.Â
Did she just say that nickname out loud?Â
The hurt on his face let her know that she did, indeed, say that out loud.
And he was taking it in the entirely wrong direction.
â...sorry.â His tone was deathly soft.Â
Ah great.
Third times a fucking charm.Â
âI...didnât mean for it to come off that way. But you donât need to curse me in another language.â Great, she hurt him again. As per fucking usual.Â
Maybe he was right by calling her a trainwreck. Useless without him.Â
Her voice cracked a little, hoarse from yelling. âLucas-â
âThe guards are gone now. Iâll...see you.â He was angry with her.Â
Gods...fuck.Â
âThat's not what I-â
His expression was a mixture of hurt and anger. âI get it. You donât like seeing me anymore. I was too...too much. Too much too soon. I understand. I overstepped again and Iâm sorry.â
She brought her hands back to her chest as he moved out of the alley. â...if you go to your right and then down the first alley you should avoid the guards,â he whispered. âGet home safe.â
âLucas I didnât-â But he was gone.Â
Her hands shook with both the raw snapping hurt of his words and just even more anger.Â
âI didnât insult you,â she snarled to the open air. âI said some dumb fucking shit by accident...a ghrĂĄ mo chroĂ.â It felt...right to say.
Because it was true.
He was her heartâs beloved.Â
Even if he was a fucking dumbass. Shit, she was a fucking dumbass.Â
Maybe she didnât deserve love. If this was how it was going to treat her, maybe it was better if she just was...alone!Â
Once again Maeve was off by herself.Â
Hurting people she really liked because she couldnât keep her dumb mouth shut.Â
She muttered to herself as she picked her basket of new (if she found the perpetrators she was going to whoop their asses) medications and plants to make medications.Â
Fan-fucking-tastic.Â
She followed Lucasâ instructions after she ran into the guards on her normal way home.Â
Damn you Malory you asshole.
With a sigh she arrived at her doorstep. His way added ten extra minutes to her walk. How fun.Â
She peaked inside the clinic to see if anything else was destroyed but it was...cleaner than when she left it.
Her tables that had been turned over were set up again. There was paint and blood all over the tops of the tables but...they were up again.Â
She ran her hands along the grooves, looking around.Â
She stopped when she saw a small cloth bundle sitting on her counter. The string was a ribbon, and it was tied into a messy bow.
Her earlier bashes slowly dissolved as she stared at it.Â
And that one lone butterfly fluttered to life.Â

EVERGRACE NOVEL CHAPTER 10 PART 2/3 LIKE SOME YOUTUBE ANIME
âNo matter how many times you tried to stop her, Sharline cannot be stopped, even by a moving train.â
Medina raised her head, jolted back to reality with Dariusâ words. The silver-haired youth looked at her with a gentle gaze.
âShe literally repels trains.â
â...Thank... you?â Medinaâs face contorted ever so slightly.
^^^ THE ABOVE NEVER HAPPENED JUST WANTED A FUNNY THING TO START THIS POST
now it is time for the second part of chapter 10. letâs go no breaks no stops here
after the nice touching moment of DARIUS IS ABLE TO KINDLY TALK TO WOMEN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ARC he asks so hey do you know where sharline and the sienna and trandin are
âThey should be at the highest point of the tower, where my grandfather is. Thereâs many paths up this tower, and many have never seen a human life travel through - [basically the top of the tower is the best place to watch anything happen]â
âokayyy cool, can you tell us how to get up?â
âyes but could you wait a moment? i wanna get all healed upâ medina says. thereâs a reference to âlight of lifeâ here and i forget if thatâs a thing in evergrace. iâm guessing itïżœïżœïżœs just a HP restoring ilght idk and medina needs to be there
â? is it a really difficult path?â
âNo, no that... After letting Sharline go like that, I just canât stop regretting it... Iâd like to go along with you two.â
MEDINA JOINS THE PARTY!Â
feel free to click more for intense lore library moments this took me 3 months to finish this part lol.
Silence from the dudes lol. Until Oldsfjlsdfjlkdsjf pipes up:
âArenât you afraid of Morpheus?â (uses kimi here again. why)
âTrue, but.. Iâll be fine as long as we reach the laboratory. I need to go up, thereâs things that I have always wanted to say [aka tell my grandfather]...â Medina looked at them with serious eyes.
---
As they left the warmth of Medinaâs living spaces, the cold passages of the tower pervaded their bodies. The rocks that shaped the pathways and rooms were all made of a certain blue-greenish stone. hmmm.... sounds like tower upper, but it canât be because of a scene later. here goes
âThis is a one-way path, isnât it...â
âThis path? Was there anyone else supposed to be here?â
âThe Legendary Mercenary, after we were defeated by him, there was a man that saved us.â < orladin says this
âAh right, about that... What happened to Red Breeze? After his axe sunk into me... What happened?â < darius is saying this. a worrying thought suddenly spreads throughout his body
âI saw waves of golden light... I think. Someone... someone cried out to stop, and then... I.... i... What happened after that...?â
âAfter you suffered that near-death blow by Red Breeze, some unknown man swooped in and saved all of us after we finished him off. Thatâs all there is to it.â
a tense feeling fills the air.... darius tries hard to recall that, but is cut off by um, i think orladin again
âDonât think about it any further. Thatâs over now.â
FORESHADOWING TO PART 3 OF THIS CHAPTER!?
âya know, this guy youâre talking about kinda reminds me of .... a âDemon,â yeah!â
:O says darius. âYou know what a âDemonâ is?â
âDemon... Iâve heard of it before, yes. There are books regarding the Crest research in the library up ahead, I read them before [more or less]., Would you like to go there? I didnât tell Sharline about it, but it might be of interest to you.â
the path there has traces of peopleâs belongings but everything is overgrown by trees and grass. medina explains that a long time ago, morpheusâ researcher peoples lived here, this is where she was fused with the alcrest and palmira etc etc uhhhhhhhhh THIS STUFF WILL BE ADDED WHEN I HAVE TIME ITâS JUST MORE TOWER LORE ABOUT HER LIFE AND SUCH
they descend a stairway and medina mentions a lot of monsters. but if they stay by her itâs fine! scary!
âfor some reason monsters just appear out of nowhere here, and itâs not my grandfatherâs doing. people have been hurt in the past due to this, but iâm not particularly scared because these clothes seem to repel them with magic.â
"even with that reason, I donât really get it. these monsters must be morpheusâs doing, somehow...â
this bit was pretty hard to understand but suddenly medina gets a bit sad and heâs likeÂ
âah, shit, i didnât mean to say that it was just a guessâ LOL ODLFJKSDFJD NOW ITâS YOUR CURSE TO NOT TALK TO WOMEN PROPERLY
âNo, no... The royal family, my grandfather and I never saw with them eye to eye. Like we were enemies. But for what weâve done, I wonder if we can ever be forgiven by your family...â
they keep walking. they come across that monster that darius fought so long ago trying to save the old king. he and olfdksdf ready their swords, but medina is like NO WORRIES. AND SHEâS RIGHT. ITâS FINE IT DOESNâT FIGHT THEM. WILD!
they reach a switch that medina mentions has to be hit with tree palmira. just like the game! she hits it and bam they make it to the library
now i have to be honest. this part is really good if you wanna analyze evergrace lore. iâm gonna be heavy on machine translation though and be pretty thorough. that will come tomorrow though iâm sleepy
..........
THREE MONTHS LATER IâM BACK LOL
they entered the library, door closes behind them, medina walks towards a certain bookshelf. iâm not sure what book she picks out, but itâs about the green moon and half days? thatâs one bit of evergrace lore i havenât written down the moon stuff. they open it up, itâs full of notes, and gestures for darius to read or something. but he shakes his head cuz,
âfor me, the language of rieubane is ancient now. I canât read this.â
so orladin reads it instead. itâs a letter between royalty or something, and he notices something.
âwhatâs this? âour empire is in a state of survival. because of our research of the crest and creation of the demon, weâve become trapped here. furthermore, the monsters spawned from the demon has killed many of our empireâs people.â ahh, this is a writing from the previous king, when the demon was just thought of as some joke.â
âwait, thereâs a footnote.
âDemon - what us nobles have been calling the demon, is a sort of incarnation born from someone with the crest [thatâs what we think]. when the destruction of toledo occured, it was a women with the crest who transformed, her body glowing yellow, and it was reported that sheâd taken a shape resembling a bird.
running experiments on other crest holders, they gained physical strength and a transformation of their body as well.â
man this footnoteâs long thereâs still more [orladin says this lmao]
âa footnote on the day of the purple moon -Â as penned by morpheus, this transformation will be called Forrimification.â
you know...... forrim is krisalisâs name in japanese.... so.............. krisalization might be a nice way to translate it. krisalisication? demonification is something like what agetec used.Â
sooooooooooooooooooooo..... the name...................... should be enough to make anyone jump at the lore right? so hereâs darius now
âkrisalis?! did you say that the process of becoming a demon is called krisalisication?!â
medina raised her head at dariusâs sudden outburst. it was as if darius was looking out into space, eyes shadowed, but somehow he is looking at orladin too okay
âum... what do you mean?â
âkrisalis is the name of the golden bird thatâs been accompanying us this whole time.â
orladin replies. oh maybe theyâre just looking at each other with shock. darius does this with his fist as he continues on
âkrisalis... she told me she wanted to defeat the demon, did she mean she wanted to kill herself? no... she mustâve meant something else...â
orladin pipes in with something i donât understand. something like âyou know thereâs other demons born from other crest bearers maybeâ
âthen, maybe the legendary mercenary was the demon? but krisalis said iâd be able to return to my own world if i defeated the demon... we defeated him, yet... was that a lie?â
âwhyâd you have to trust that monster?â
âsheâs saved us so many times before.â [yeah i guess i canât remember an instance of her really saving their ass but sheâs provided lots of help hasnât she?]
âi think sheâs just been using you, zoâ
darius glared seriously at orladin.
âorladin. whatâs wrong with you? whatâs so hard to understand about that?â
orladin was still giving a funny, probably untrusting expression here because darius could see right through his shit. in the words of twewy. TRUST YOUR PARTNER
âIf you canât believe in me, then you can just stay here with Medina.â
âWhat?!â
âLeading an army, you would probably know how dangerous it can be if thereâs conflict within the soldiers. If we defeat Morpheus, there might be a way to change the princess back to normal. And if you donât want to believe in me, well...â
you know when i first read this i remember darius being more serious sounding than how i just translated it. iâm not sure if heâs faltering here, trying to lead orladin to his own conclusions, or something... but i do like how heâs learning to trust. you see, this chapter is all about darius levelling up in his human relationships and iâm very proud of him. anyways hereâs orladin getting pissed off
but as he gets pissed at what darius says, he takes it in and swallows his anger. speaking slowly, he starts:
âme, stay here by myself? staying back is reserved for cowards like the king and that one solider. [donât forget the dude who stayed behind at the shrine lol] I canât use palmira armaments. if monsters attack, iâm done for...
you... youâre my last trump card. i donât have anything else.â
âso you trust me?â
âguess i have to.â
darius shouldâve hooked up with novel orladin. solves everything about orladin with one swoop - game orladin is a pedo, and novel orladin is probably incestuous. if they got together.... everything would be at peace. sadly masanori takeuchi saved gay men for enchanted arms
dariusâs expression softened with an understanding nod.
âiâd rather be a mercenary than some bickering friend.â
medina is just standing there confused. to add to that they ask her more stuff lol
âso, uh, do you know anything about krisalis?â
ânah, but lemme see...â
medina goes to a different bookshelf and picks out a book, flips through it to a certain page and stops. looking through it she closes it again
âit just says the same as the others. the transformation of crest bearers.... the destructive power of the crest...â
âbut, what is the crest?â
medina looks through the book again, then another book, and finds the answer.
âCycle - the way in which all things flow towards. the secretive source of the billiana fruitâs power is something we do not yet know. the fruit has no seeds, nor have there been reports of young or old growth trees, yet the trees increase in amount. they exist even in places where it should be impossible for trees to grow. Thus, the billiana trees exist outside the cycle. However, there is an opinion that even billiana must have some sort of laws of creation and destruction.â
âIs anything written about Billiana, then? Anything in regarding people?â
âNo, thatâs all about Billiana. What do you mean?â
âMorpheus, he once called Sharline the cycle for some reason.â
âSharline...? No, in regarding the Cycleâs information, thereâs nothing about referring to particular people...â
âIs that so...â
âAnything else youâd like to know?
Darius shook his head, and as did Orladin. and soooooooooooooooooo
THEY LEFT
FINALLY THEY GOT OUT OF THE LIBRARY AFTER THREE MONTHS
IâM FREE

Ayesha Liveblogs Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card S1
Not to be someone born in the 90s but wow this is a change from the more simple animation style new anime truly likes things shiny, intensely bright and round lmao
Ah I guess the prologue is just a reanimation of the original anime finale? Thatâs fair it helps you reintegrate if it had been nineteen years for you
âThat way, youâll realize who you consider to be your Number Oneâ Eriolâs advice has gotten less cryptic since he stopped lying
âThe person I love the most... is youâ Lmao didnât Syaoran ALREADY do this confession in the final battle this is like in Naruto the Last where Naruto just forgot that Hinata had already said she loved him
Fdshkfjhkjdfhksjhfkjh wow Yukito appearing with a flower background and shine effect and softened face is this a style choice or is this just Toya Visionâą
I think Toyaâs voice IS different rest in pieces I still respect u broÂ
âHow do I feel about Syaoranâ [Pan across Syaoran in floral background] It is a style choice how very shojo manga of you
Iâm really very confused by the references to Tokyo Tower bc Iâm pretty sure they were battling at Tsukimine Shrine did I miss something??
No I just checked it was definitely at the shrine in the anime did THEY not check or were they like âhmmm not enough drama only Tokyo Tower for our battle backdrops plsâ
This is the third or fourth flower backdrop in the first ten minutes jkhkdjhg the floral effect artists said âI WILL BE SILENT NO LONGERâ:
I DO NOT understand the chronology of this the bear exchange was the last scene in the anime is this before or after the finale???? If itâs after then why is Syaoran still in town
Rjhkjhgkj is the entire point of redoing this episode so Sakura could also give Syaoran a bear
âToya was too embarrassed, so he had me bring it over and went back to his roomâ Lmao @ Toya sending his boyfriend to be nice to his sister in his placeÂ
If this show does not stop the floral cutaways I will not be able to take it seriously it is Ouran High School Host Club levels of intensity jdshfkjshdfkjhsdk
âWill you wait for me?â âYes! Iâll wait! Iâll be waiting!â I think they threw out all continuity just so they could establish that these feelings were for sure mutual for the setup of the sequel series
That, or the original series so heavily discarded manga continuity that they are trying to walk it back to something more accurate without any real explanation
Rffkghkfghkdfhgkj if theyâre referencing the original anime bear scene what was the point of that stupid prologue SO WHAT IS THE TRUTH
âMy name is Mike. Iâm from Portlandâ LOL references to Americans in anime are always so funnyÂ
âNow I can stay in Tomoeda foreverâ did u bring ur mom and sisters orrr
Gosh Iâm actually quite thrown by how quickly this romance escalated it took them 57 episodes to just use each otherâs first names and now itâs taken them one (1) episode to Commit 4Ever At Age 13
HAHAHA do they have smart phones now? Always on the cutting edge
âI Am a Stuffed Animalâ some of the quirky captions ARE worth it
âMake sure you tell him... even the smallest thingsâ Yue has become more of a romantic since he got closure and a part-time boyfriendÂ
âI never knew! Thanks for telling me!â âNever change, Li-kunâ kjhgkjhdkj STILL MY GULLIBLE BOY some things donât ever change
Is that a dragon?? They are really expanding this magical universe
It bears repeating the polar opposite levels of pacing from the two shows itâs only episode one and theyâve already established so many new rules and powersÂ
I donât blame them for it though bc they have to put forward some kind of plot progression
There were so many visual effects in that scene I couldnât even tell what was happening lmao itâs like reading manga battles
âBut why are these things happening in Tomoeda again?â I mean not to point fingers but Syaoranâs arrival is fairly recent
âDid Wei-san come back with youâ âNo, just me. But he said heâd come to check on me in a whileâ HEâS 13?? CHILD. WELFARE. LAWS!!!!
âI wish that I couldâve used it as a referenceâ âFor what?â âTo make something that would look wonderful on youâ LMAO now that Syaoran and Sakura are a thing He is Included in the outfitsÂ
ââGreat to have youâ so you can do what?â donât bully ur sister Toya, u r both happy with your respective relationships now
WHAT ARE THE STAKES OF KERO PRETENDING TO BE A PLUSHIE TOYA IS LITERALLY DATING THE MOON
I understood âGaleâ but what exactly is a âSiegeâ card this feels a little abstractÂ
âWe managed to keep him in the darkâ did u tho? Again. Moon boyfriend
âSo it happened in her roomâ Did u put a protection spell on that bear or something SyaoranÂ
I genuinely do not tire of Syaoran and Sakuraâs shared gullibility this couple is morosexual solidarity
How convenient that Sakuraâs new key just announces whenever thereâs a new clear card to collect lmao
I meant what I said about Toyaâs love language being touching Yukito somewhere above the shouldersÂ
âYouâll find out when the time comesâ Dfddjhfjkdhf Toya what are you going to DOÂ
Two cards in one episode is quite a bit for ep 3 I guess theyâre trying to give her some more fighting options lolÂ
Is the implication of the way Sakura just happens to be coming across magical phenomenon that Clow Reed didnât make his cards but just harnessed magic that existed in natureÂ
For no reason other than my own suspicion I think that something funky is going on with Syaoranâs powers
âThat person was almost the same height as meâ I mean so was Eriol
âSakura and the Lovely Transfer Studentâ we know by now transfer students mean that shitâs about to get real
âAnd then you slept with your belly uncoveredâ âI did not!â Toyaâs gentle bullying to distract Sakura is always weirdly sweet
âYour brother is so funny Sakuraâ CHIHARUâS RIGHT STAN TOYA
SHINOMOTO ARE YOU SHITTING ME JHDFGHDGDFDD WHY DOES IT RHYME
âI hope we can be friendsâ if I know anything about this show this means sheâs going to do something very shady immediately
I wonder if this will be the season that Tomoyoâs filming of everything Sakura does finally becomes plot relevant
I do think itâs weird that Sakura trusted a new key without questioning it
âIâm changing backâ LOL @ YUE TRANSFORMING INTO YUKITO JUST TO AVOID PEOPLE IâM STARTING TO REALLY LIKE HIM
DGSJGSJDGDJGSFFSJDHJS YUKITO APOLOGIZING FOR YUE LEAVING RUDELY THATâS MY POLITE AND HANDSOME MAN WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG IN HIS LIFE
I KNEW Syaoran was being suspicious!!! Talking about Sakura with Eriol in secret phone calls
âI came here to be ready for that time, when it comesâ current theory is that Syaoran has NO powers and thatâs why he is not running out of his classroom for teenage battles with the Forces of Nature
âHow much has Yukito-san been eating?â âNot as much as he did when you were in elementary school, but he still eats a lot for his sizeâ This must be a strange conversation for their dad to listen to but I like how this is code for Does Yukito Have Magical Chakra Exhaustion
âUm, I just... Phone callâ said Sakura, as she was forcibly moonwalked away right in front of her friendsâ eyes
LOL is Tomoyo being unable to film Sakura going to be a recurring jokeÂ
âDonât worry about itâ âI have to, when itâs about youâ Syaoran really going Full Boyfriend Mode huh
Iâve never questioned it in until precisely this moment but who pays Keroâs phone bill?? Is it Tomoyo? Who is the account holder for this stuffed animal did she establish Kero as a legal person
âMomo-chan, letâs be friends okay?â I feel like this has to be immediate foreshadowing for Momo being alive
[Cucumber cut incorrectly] âGotta show Yukiâ hjkfhksjdhfkjhd rude of Toya but the caption kills me
Ddjkhfkjdhfjkdhfkjh the pure juxtaposition of this energy:
Tomoyo: They have other things to do
Chiharu, thinking that itâs a romance thing: [Winks]
Syaoran and Sakura: [In the shadows while threatening music plays]
âI didnât feel... anythingâ oh NO why r their magic senses NOT tingling
I feel like I have been had, they had an episode called the âSong of the Moonâ and Yukito didnât even show up?? Rude
SCREAM this magical FaceTime call is much funnier than I couldâve imagined
âYukito is in a recitation club, which he takes very seriouslyâ GDGJFGJGJHGDG Yue very respectful of not occupying Yukitoâs time with magical shenanigans LMAO
âAnd weâll make them the cutest oxygen masks youâve ever seenâ Tomoyo, like the background effects artists in this anime, will not be stopped
Well colour me inaccurate I guess Syaoran can use his powers and he can do a fancy new sword thing
I like this flying scarf itâs the first of the new cards with a personality
Poor Syaoran always so serious to being a Teenage Wizard is hard
Wow I bet thereâs NOTHING weird about the fact Akiho lives in Eriolâs house itâs just pure happenstance (said no one)
âCould we um, go out together?â I think this is the first time someone has explicitly scheduled a date in all 80+ episodes
I really do enjoy Toyaâs never-ending list of temp jobs lmaoÂ
âStill going on, huh?â Toyaâs older brother senses are unparalleled
LMAO IS THIS A 15 YEAR OLD BUTLER
Ghgjhfjfjhfjh what is the scale for these heights why is Kaito twice the height of these 13-year-olds
Unsubtle shot of this manâs pocket watch echoing Sakuraâs dream
Iâve never seen a more Rich Person Reaction than Akiho getting upset that Katio, a service worker, stated that taking care of her was his job hfkjdhfkjh
âI came to Japan because there was a book I wantedâ
1. VERY Rich Person thing to say
2. Wow I wonder which of you has a MAGICAL BOOK thatâs been doing weird things lately
âWhat language is itâ âI donât know, but Iâve learned to read itâ me when I hear people speak South Asian languages LMAO
Why does everyone keep referencing the Time Thatâs Coming? Toya, Syaoran, Eriol... theyâve all caught Mizukiâs affliction of vague and unhelpful prophecies
*One more go to jail Mizuki for the road
I hope that these stupid FaceTime calls with Yue are in EVERY episode from now on
Does the fact that heâs listed as Yue-san in Sakuraâs phone mean that thereâs a phone for each personality omg
OMG I just realized the ep title (Sakuraâs Thrilling Aquarium Visit) must be a throwback to âSakuraâs Heart-Racing First Dateâ which was not a date but took place at an aquarium. Cute!!
GJHGSHJGFSGH Yue is me whenever people talk about video games:
Kero: Hey, Yue, play an online game with me
Yue: [Hangs up immediately]
âI made you waitâ âNah, I got here too early. Itâs still twelve minutes before our meeting time.â I think she and Yukito had this exact exchange in that early ep
âShe doesnât have magical powers, but sheâs oddly perceptiveâ I hope that Meilinâs one and only magical power is precognition lmao
Omg every time someone in this show speaks English I am so thrownÂ
âI wasnât sure how I should look at himâ awww Syaoran trying to re-establish himself in the family
I guess this aquarium HAS changed in that it developed a security system for when the tank breaks [youknowwhathatisgrowth.gif]
LOL I guess itâs convenient to have an invisibility cloak when ur breaking and entering I was wondering how they were going to deal with their criminal behaviour in the age of cameras
Ep 10. Sakuraâs Unbelievable Juvenile Detention Centre
Weel weel weel looks like Sakura isnât the only one with new powers nice ice Syaoran!! I missed their tag team fights
OH MY GOD IF THIS PHOTO ALBUM ACCEPTS THE CONTINUITY OF THE SECOND MOVIE THEN SAKURA AND SYAORAN HAVE ALREADY! DONE! THEIR! CONFESSIONS! WOULD YOU PICK A LANE
âYou want the person you like to eat good foodâ Besides the fact Kaito is twice your height and therefore probably an adult... u should not make advances on people u employ - this is all very bad-vibes-no-jutsu
I am shocked that it took this long for Sakura to notice that her new cards paralleled the old cards
Syaoran is staring at Kaito like he murdered his spouse in a previous lifeÂ
âSo he has Moon magic too?â UHHHH WAS SYAORANâS MAGIC ALWAYS MOON-BASED I FEEL LIKE THATâS NOT CLEAR
Also very unclear why Eriol keeps leaving her on read if heâs talking to Syaoran what
I love how Kero has independent friendships and communications with both Yukito and Tomoyo lmao
How many times has Penguin Park been destroyed by now
âPerhaps your dream is gradually progressingâ Progressing into what exactly the Battle of the Nice Thirteen-Year-Olds
Why is it that magic in this universe comes with above-average athletic ability LOL
Once again, without a body/personification, these cards seem harsh
Kaito seems like too much of a red herring a la Mizuki so Iâm going to assume the other presence we see is someone we either havenât met yet or smth really fucked up with the rest of the main castÂ
Iâd lose my mind if it was Toya but I genuinely hope not heâs too nice
I honestly missed Meilin ever since she chilled out a bit sheâs very fun
âThe emoji in her message definitely looked thrilledâ [Bob Dylan voice] For the times they are a-changinâ.....
âI donât know when itâll happen, but when it does youâll knowâ Toya.......
Toyaâs absolutely nonplussed reaction to his Moon Boyfriend never ceases to amaze
Yukito: [Sighs and floats into the air to wrap in a wing cocoon]
Toya: [Sitting and staring unfazed]Â
Also am I crazy or was that transformation on purpose bc it really had the energy of âFine if you wonât talk to me maybe youâll talk to Rude Magical Me!!â
âDid I change again?â GUESS NOT LMAOÂ
Also itâs fun how as different as Yukito and Yue are, their shared brain cell says âTOYA COMMUNICATE WITH MEEâÂ
âBut ever since Syaoran came back, heâs had something important on his mindâ People donât give Sakura enough credit for her emotional intelligence
Can we take a minute to appreciate Sakuraâs outfit fashion ICON
What is this Furry card that makes u dress up in ears and a tail lmao
âIâll treasure [these cookies]â âIâd rather you ate themâ LOL
My Furry card prediction gets more and more accurate with each passing second (even a broken clockâs right twice a day)
Uhhhhh Syaoran what did u sell to the moon devil to be able to cut through the space-time continuum
Sakura: NO THATâS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT SYAORAN
SCREAM this family and their circle of hair cutting (also if Yukito cuts Toyaâs hair, does Toya cut Yukitoâs? Or does it not grow bc magic jfhkfh)
âIâm pretty sure that was middle school Englishâ Sakura hearing English is me hearing French LMAOÂ
âSucks, doesnât he?â MEILIN PLS
Djhfjkdhkjfhjk Tomoyoâs immediate rage at being the centre of attention
SAKURA DOING MAGIC RIGHT IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE OMG
âSurround the entire mansionâ Very subtle Sakura Iâm sure no one in your whole town will notice
âI hear her father specializes in archaeology, so he might have some interesting booksâ âHave I mentioned Sakura-sanâs father to you before?â [Dramatic cut in music] WELL
Oh my GOD did Kaito just turn back time bc he regretted what he said immediately? Honestly a mood
Also: BITCH
âYouâre so alike, and not just because of your namesâ I have to say Iâve been thinking since her first appearance that Akiho looks like Nadeshiko so if theyâre not related I will be surprised
âSometimes watching good people makes me feel sadâ well damn Meilin
Iâm going to guess this Teenage Robot is the equivalent of the fight card that Meilin fought upon her introduction
Aw HELL YEAH SAKURA AND MEILIN TAG TEAM FIGHT WOOOO
âArenât you and Syaoran doing too much for those you care about, and forgetting to care about yourselves?â WELL DAMN MEILIN U R THE NEW TEENAGE SUPERHERO THERAPIST
 âCan I call you âSakuraâ from now on, too?â AHHH THESE KIDS
LMAO AMAZING IT TOOK 13 STRAIGHT EPISODES FOR MOMO TO EVEN TWITCH
âWe are indeed progressing... toward that timeâ I feel THREATENED
Once again I cannot stress strongly enough how much I love physical comedy
Sakura: They donât seem to be causing any harm
The dessert rolls:
GOD the roll cakes eating each other to form one giant monster Babushka doll roll cake jhfjkdhgkdjhgkj incredible
EXCUSE ME MAâAM WHY WAS THERE A DEMON GIRL IN THE REFLECTION OF THIS SHATTERED CARDÂ
âPlease laugh againâ Akiho is v nice I really hope Kaito isnât meanÂ
âOnce a magical contract is formed, it canât be broken, unless something really serious happensâ [Quirrel voice] Can anyone tell me what foreshadowing is?
âWhat do you feelâ âI think itâs a cardâ Very observant Sakura I think they gathered that
When Sakura gets all four of the base elements is Momo going to turn into a 200 pound giant rabbit
I like that every time Toya is concerned about Sakura, Yue appears suddenly to discuss the matter seriously with him [Gay and Wondorous Life of Caleb Gallo voice] Heâs in this relationship!!
âWhen youâre angry or upset, it shows on your face, even if you donât say itâ Yue IS in this relationship woooow
âWhen humans realize theyâre talking to a fox, they wonât sell you mittens. In fact, theyâll catch you and put you in a cage.â UH who is the fox in this metaphor not Sakura I hope???
Years later Syaoran is still winded if Sakura makes too much eye contact khgkghkjgÂ
The fact that Yukito reads at a childrenâs hospital... truly one of The Nicest Not-Humans On Earth
Well with each passing episode we have less and less reasons to trust these cards and Kaito the Young Magical Butler
Ever since Kaito reversed time, I cannot shake the persistent thought that Akiho IS Nadeshiko. Thatâd be weird but u know... Iâve seen this show do weirder
âYour sweets look betterâ âNo, yours!â Grandpa witnessing this date
âAlso if Sakura-chan goes to college or wants to do something else, he wants to helpâ TOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
âAny further, and you wonât be able to returnâ NADESHIKO BE MORE SPECIFICÂ
âIt was my robeâ Wait what ur family is a magical society or smth and somehow u donât know Akiho??? How in the whomst
Everyone in this anime is like, âHaha Yue looks madâ as if Yue does not look mad every second that heâs alive
KHKJHKFJHKJFHJ GRANDPA MASAKI REALLY GONNA GIVE SAKURA A HOUSE AND TOYA NOTHING LMAO WHATâS IT LIKE TO BE THE LEAST FAVOURITE GREAT-GRANDCHILD LOL
âNadeshiko would talk to things that werenât there, and try to reach an understanding with things that couldnât talkâ 91 EPISODES LATER AND MR. KINOMOTO FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGES MAGIC?? OKAY
AND HE KNEW BOTH SAKURA AND TOYA HAVE HAD MAGICAL PROBLEMS FOR 3 YEARS!!! MR. KINOMOTO WHAT KIND OF HANDS-OFF PARENTING
âI want me to tell me [about your pain] tooâ wow this is the CALL-OUT EPISODE
âThe house they live in was once torn down and replaced with an amusement parkâ were the continuity errors of accepting the second movie... A PLOT POINT?!?!?!
DAMN U KAITO I REALLY WANTED THINGS TO BE OKAY FOR AKIHO
âBut Iâve got a great poker faceâ âYes you do. But Yue does notâ JKHDKJGHKJSHGKJHDKJGHSDJGHKJH BY DIALOGUE ALONE ITâS LIKE WHENEVER ANYONE SEES YUEâS FACE TWITCH IT MEANS HEâS HAVING AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN
Yue: Evil magic looming overhead is bad for your wifi signal actually
âI will obtain these new cards. So I can use the relic I took from the association to activate that magic spellâ Kaito really laying out his motivations out loud in a library. Insensible. Vague and probably misleading. 1/10 villainous monologueÂ
Sakuraâs powers are WILD she can duplicate the strength of her magicÂ
âPower thatâs too strong will bring unhappiness to its ownerâ SYAORAN :((
I feel like the only way this can end is Toya giving Sakura magical noogie so she doesnât have to carry all of her powers like the reverse of what he did for Yue-kitoÂ
THERE IS TOO LITTLE TIME LEFT IN THIS SHOW FOR ALL THE ANSWERS I NEED THEREâS ONLY 20 MINUTES AHHHH
THERE ARE 12 MINUTES LEFT AND STILL NO ANSWERS!!! WHAT HAPPENSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I GOT ABSOLUTELY NO ANSWERS OH MY GOD?!?!?!?!
