"I know in my heart that in his final moments he must have repented and gone—" "No.... No..."

"You should go to hell sometime"

ANOTHER SHRIMP JUMP

HELL HOUND FORM ART OH MY GOD LOOK AT HANGMAN!!!!!

"Smells good"

"Whatever you didn't like about your old self, you feel like, oh, it's present in this kid who is also drinking water out of a beer can." Brennan why must you be so good at pulling heartstrings

omg ivy has the same accent as garthy

"Your family is from Fallinel" her mom is gone and she killed her they can't help pay for the diamond

"Hot dragonborn is about to know your shit"

oh adaine... I understand you so well

Adaine and Fabian duo is so under appreciated I need more of them

"Everyone can suck a nut, fuck off"

There is so much sexual tension between Gorgug and Ragh rn

"If you push me too hard, I'm going to shit"

CARBO LOAD ON MILK?

"I think I ate some glass— there was vodka in it???" Oh Ragh my beloved....

Riz rambling is so real

LYDIA'S MESSAGE BACK I LOVE HER

CRUSTACEAN NATION

The High 5 Heroes...

OISIN AND IVY... ARE THEY PART OF THE RAT GRINDERS????

"It's not the library, you can't rip the pages out!"

This is a very duo episode. Fig / Kristen, Fabian / Adaine, Gorgug / Riz

I'm starting to think Kristen is trying to be the president of the steelworker union at this rate

FETTY WAP AT HOMECOMING

"I'm gonna be kick flipping the system"

Fantasy High Senior Year main objective is going to be getting Fetty Wap to homecoming

"It's gonna be weird to not be you. I feel home here."

Fabian is struggling rn

So much destruction of Fabian's property this episode

THE ICE MUFFETS

Mazey being straight laced (?) But still being the absolute life of the party is so good

"(Murph Sobs)"

Fuck the record labels

"Just trying to decide if I want to be bard any more..." OH?

Rough day for Fabian. So rough.

Murph rollin' better.

At least none of them actually did drugs. Just. The bad baby milk. What is the drinking age of Spyre? I don't know

"I'm gonna be President, bitch."

I relate to Kristen too much, this is painful for me to listen to because it's too real

"Maybe she had a shrimp allergy, you don't fuckin' know"

"I hope your new partner is really fucking hot." Oh Kristen

"Riz you're the only one who is honest with me"

OH THE POTENTIAL OVERLAP........

"Tough but fair. Have a great life" KRISTEN.....

Drunk texting Aelwyn.

I MISS AYDA.

Murph is going full investigator rn

The egg slurry

"Fuck!"

I was NOT expecting Fig to be the one to do a full class switch but honestly it's understandable

"We're having to destroy ourselves to pass these classes." As someone who was severely depressed in high school, I resonate with that statement a little too much.

I want to go to a Lydia lunch

"So what's up" Kristen's god is dead.

"took an orb to the chest"

Oh Lydia.... I want to hug her so tightly.

"God baby hospital"

Now I'm hungry for chicken parm

downtime

STRESS TOKENS?????

looks like next episode is dice rolling

hi sav!!! congrats on the np editing!!! any fun things that leapt out to you or surprised you during the editing that you can non-spoilery tell us about? any things that were challenges you overcame and wanna chat about? and, vital question: any fun architectural or setting details you can spill? (for me, lover of mapping out things and doing Fun Architectural Mind Maps)

AHHH THANK UU JADE <3333 ohhh I love u sm for this I'm holding your hand so tight rn <33

np editing has been going well !! I'm currently working through chapter eleven (out of 25 lmao) and I read through and worked on an aelwyn pov chap the other day and was reminded of just how much I enjoy that chapter- its one of my favorites I've written and I really enjoyed writing aelwyn's perspective in this fic !!! I think I found a fun balance between her canon dynamic with adaine and the circumstances/context of this au specifically!!! it's also been fun to read through and find a handful of standout lines/metaphors that I don't remember writing but hit really effectively!! like. damn bravo past sav<3 you did a good job<3 and it's always fun to find bc they're like little treats for me to enjoy hidden amongst the editing work lmao

as for challenges, this fic is huge and I'm consistently finding the scope of it really daunting; before np the longest fic i'd written and finished was like somewhere in the 20-30k words iirc?? and by comparison the first draft of np clocked in at around 150k and as i'm editing, the chapters are all growing by a couple hundred to a thousand words each lmao, so i'm sure the final draft is going to be a lot longer- and editing a fic so long and so complicated with so many details and character arcs and world developments and etc has been really complicated and unfamiliar for me, i've got like three or four different documents with things I need to solve or consolidate or mention or elaborate or make consistent- it took me a little less than four years to finish the first draft of np, with long hiatuses of not working on it at all during that time, so there are details that contradict each other between different chapters, and it's a little daunting to try and find and correct and maintain a sense of consistency across the whole fic lmao

as for architectural and setting details, not much comes to mind? I don't have a lot of knowledge about architecture myself, and while i've got a loose mental vision for a handful of really vital room/house/setting layouts, not a lot of details come to mind? I (infamously) drew a map of the np kingdoms/continent a few years back that I've been using to track travel routes and towns and borders and etc, but if you're interested in setting and world building and architecture, I'd love to dm and pick your brain about noble pining if you'd be interested !!!!

xoxoxoxoxo thank u again forever one million for this ask, I love getting asks about and talking about noble pining SO MUCH and things like this mean the world to me!!! xooxoxo
