ok listen. listen. hear me out. what if Angel was the one to propose the contract

like.... the intensification of heartbreak and guilt when Val tells him 'I own you, or have you forgotten that?' as Angel looks at his signature, the heart he drew next to it. the extra layer in 'what's the worst part of this hell? I can only blame myself'. and above all it plays well with my observation that their contract had to have been composed with some level of input from Angel, because... why on earth/in hell would Val have given him control of his life outside of the studio; and while Val invokes the contract to put Angel back in 'his place', Angel invokes it to remind Valentino that he can defy him. It's actually similar in composition to a kink contract/agreement--if I'm in this specific place, you hold all the power and call the shots; but outside of it, I don't give you that level of control. Angel can straight up tell Val to fuck off in front of a crowd and all Val can do is say he'll make Angel regret it next time he's in the studio (and isn't that an extremely dark variation of the classic kinky romance beat of 'sub misbehaves when they're in public and can get away with it, dom promises they'll pay for it later'?)

so like. all of that about the contract also works if Val proposed it, but I love headcanoning that their relationship was on the rocks around the time it was signed, and one of the factors was Vox coming onto the scene... and so now i'm just thinking about Angel in his peak era of both-sides-ing their relationship problems, knowing his 'commitment issues' (partly real, partly consisting of val's 'you know other men??' issues) are a major cause, furious and disconcerted at someone else drawing so much of Val's attention, wanting to make a stupid desperate Hail Mary pass to save their relationship but devoid of the usual options of 'have kid' or 'impulsively propose marriage' or 'move to a new house that's inevitably haunted' i watch too much horror, going for the option of '...hey do you want to make the kind of binding contract that is accessible to us?'

and surely it's not that stupid! he's only really giving Val a formal version of the power he gives him already, right? Val's his dom and his director and manager, and maybe there's... problems but it's mostly been great for Angel so far, so if having it on (magic eternally binding) paper would make Val happy and make him understand that Angel really wants him, wants them, the risk is toooootally worth it. just, best not to tell Cherri about it she'd definitely think it was insane.

(and when, much later, she learns about the contract and berates him for being an idiot and not telling her when Val brought it up, maybe don't correct her assumption. just keep it to yourself and feel even worse.)

A couple of things I’ve only just noticed….

During the championship game after Jason misses the basket Lucas takes the ball and wins the game for the team. But just before Lucas throws the ball we get a close up of the digital clock saying 001 and afterwards we get a close up of Lucas lifting off of the ground!!

Either this was simply foreshadowing for Chrissy dying shortly after the game and every other death that followed, or my boy Lucas is in danger in s5……

—

During the basketball/hellfire sequence we get a lot of close up character shots and amongst those close ups we also get Steve and the girl he took to the game who is actually wearing triangle earrings and we know that triangles were used this season to symbolize queerness. Another girl that is standing behind them is also wearing a rainbow heart necklace:

Now, his could of course simply apply to the girl but I think it’s rather interesting that the next character we get a close up of is actually Mike:

There is a dice roll in between those shots though which features cans of Mountain Dew which is a brand by Pepsi and there’s also generally a lot of rainbow lighting stuff going on in the hellfire room:

—

In the airport scene when they’re walking out of the airport and El talks about her plans for the day, there‘s actually a guy wearing a shirt with rainbows on it in the background:

I‘m pretty sure I‘ve found the shirt on the internet though even though it might not be an exact match it is still very obvious that the shirt in the show does feature rainbows.

The guy also stands by the telephones which is…. interesting (phonegate).

—

These scenes are parallels:

It’s their first and their last heart-to-heart of the season.

the scenes have the same color scheme and every color appears almost in the exact same spot [the green dresser and the green curtains on the left, the green chair and the green trees peaking through the hole on the right. The yellow light and the yellow bits of the tapestry in the middle, Will with his yellow shirt on the right. The blue picture on top of the dresser and the blue kit/tank whatever that is on the left, Mike with his blue shirt on the left as well].

In their first heart-to-heart they’re divided by the vertical line on the tapestry and in their last heart-to-heart there’s a big stream of light between them.

In both scenes Mike’s arrow pocket points at Will.

In the bedroom we have the upside down tapestry and in the cabin we have the upside down sofa.

Will is talking about second chances: Mike getting a second chance to tell El what he didn’t tell her and El getting a second chance to win against Vecna [funny enough Mike’s reaction to the former is a fake smile, reluctantly accepting the advice he doesn’t wanna take, and his reaction to the latter is: “let’s hope not”….. interesting].

They’re talking about how it’s up to them to defeat Vecna in both scenes.

In the bedroom scene they’re talking about Owens and in the cabin scene they’re talking about Brenner.

Disclaimer:

We do NOT ship a child El with an adult Henry.

(People accuse us of this while simultaneously supporting equally or more problematic ships lol).

We support AUs and canon divergence ideas such as the following:

-Henry and El are the same age. They meet in the lab.

-Henry is redeemed in Season 5, and his relationship with El grows into a romantic one once she is an adult.

-El says yes to Henry's offer to join him, and a very slow burn romance happens only once El is an adult.

-Time travel!

These are just a few of the many reasons we ship Henry and El:

-Henry sees himself reflected in El. In a sense, they are two parts of a whole. The only one who can understand the other. Huge Reylo vibes here.

-They have gone through similar pain and abuse, but they have come out with opposite views on the world. Dark vs Light, Yin vs Yang, need I say more?

-Henry had no real need for El to join him, other than some deep part of him wanting connection, partnership, and understanding.

-He has a canon obsession with her. He claims in season 3 (if we assume Billy is possessed by Henry/Vecna) that he has been building the UD for her. Yes, perhaps for revenge, but there is a fine line between love and hate, eh?

-He literally became a monster without her. She was his last hope, his last attempt to reach out to another person, and she rejected him (we aren't saying she did the wrong thing lol).

-He has a continuous tenderness for/with her, even when it no longer serves him to do this for manipulation purposes (i.e. Henry as Vecna)

-His obsession with stroking her face??

Our main point: If we imagine all the events of Season 4 took place between an adult El and an adult Henry, would we not see the potential romantic subtext here?

We want a life of healing and love for Henry. We believe that a large portion of his anger, violence, and nihilism comes from how people have continuously rejected him. If El had said yes, we believe the partnership and family she would have given him would have greatly tamed and diminished his world domination plans.

We just want them happy together, okay? 😭

Anyway, we hope you join us! You are even welcome to disagree and tell us about how you view Henry and El's relationship. We would never attack you for your views, so please don't attack us for ours.

headcannon that norman picked up lock picking to help emma in her super secret stealth missions into the infirmary especially when isabella insists people need peace and quiet

(or when ray was having nightmares and needed someone there for him even when he didn’t want to admit it)

i think it’s cannon that he knows cuz he takes apart machines/clocks with ray but that’s not enough angst for me(definitely using this in a fic soon)

*taps microphone and holds it up to you* thoughts?

Yeah you got it; the mystic code book mentions Norman and Ray learned it from taking apart machines together, while Don learned pickpocketing because he read about it in a book and thought it sounded cool.

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 1 Q&A; also mentioned in a questionnaire that I talk about here)

The way it's framed in chapter 1 makes it sound like it's a rare occurrence, or at the very least the boys rarely lockpicked in Emma's presence.

But for fanfic purposes, I think people would be open to him using his skills for covert stealth missions to lift the spirits of sick orphans, and there's nothing preventing him from learning it for multiple purposes.

I'm a bit confused why he would need to do that so he and Emma could sneak into Ray's bed and cuddle him unless Ray is sick in the infirmary and needs the support, though, since there are eight other children in Ray's shared bedroom who need to be able to come and go to use the restroom or get a glass of water. We also see Gilda, who as far as we know isn't able to pick locks pre-escape, going to meet with Krone after lights out unhindered.

Krone's room has a lock on it since Isabella locks Ray in there, so while I can see all the doors in the house potentially having locks on them for whatever emergency situation might arise, the children's bedrooms would almost always be open otherwise.

merry christmas from linagram!

merry christmas everyone.. merry christmas.. you get these guard plushies as a present. blessed miki plushie that says she forgives you and she will do anything to save you and cursed eiji and hinode plushies that drink your pepsi and say you're guilty and use the amnesia machine on you

this drawing in particular has t1 eiji and miki here but it's okay. it's okay

you can read the christmas special vd under the cut! also yes it's canon actually.

Hinode: So.. Christmas, huh? 

Miki: .. Hm? Is it Christmas already? 

Hinode: Well, if this calendar is to be believed.. 

Hinode: I've never imagined myself celebrating Christmas in a prison, haha. 

Miki: .. Right. 

Hinode: Is everything okay, Miki-san? You're not.. um, in a holiday mood? 

Miki: .. I guess. 

Hinode: Wait, what are these? So many boxes..

Miki: O-oh, I'm wrapping presents for the prisoners. 

Hinode: Really? Did they ask for something? 

Miki: I've asked them to write down what they want for Christmas and this morning I had everything prepared. I just need to make these things look.. well, like presents. 

Hinode: You still want them to have a nice Christmas even though they're in prison.. You are so kind, Miki-san. 

Miki: W-well, that's just a part of my job as this prison's goddess.. 

Hinode: "Goddess"?.. 

Miki: Never mind. 

Hinode: O-okay.. So, what did everyone ask for? 

Miki: Let's see.. 

Miki: Miyagawa-san asked for a diary. His head injury is slowly getting better, but his memory still isn't the best at the moment and he wants to write everything down so that he won't forget about it. He also just finds making notes useful. 

Miki: This diary here has a lock too. Miyagawa-san will have to come up with a password.. 

Hinode: W-what if he forgets the password too?.. 

Miki: .. Well, that won't be my problem. 

Miki: Aimi-chan asked for more cute hairclips. I have a lot of them here.. 

Miki: Though she actually asked for them not because she wants to use them for herself, but because she wants to do my hair. 

Miki: She said that my hair looks really messy these days. 

Hinode: To be honest, I can't help but agree with her. And what about your pigtails? 

Miki: .. I can't be bothered to take care of that. 

Miki: Ishizu-san asked for this anime figure. It looks pretty detailed. 

Miki: I find it interesting how he remembered the character's name, the title of the anime she's from, what this particular figure is called.. 

Miki: His memory really works well when it comes to things he likes. 

Miki: Chiba-san didn't know what to ask for at first, but then she wrote that her request might be a little bit too specific.. 

Miki: And she asked for a small glass figure of a cat.

Hinode: That's.. actually quite specific.

Miki: When I asked her about it, she said that she just misses her cat a lot. I offered to get her a plushie or something else that could remind her of her cat, but she said that she would like to have a glass figure specifically. 

Miki: She said that she used to.. collect them? But I don't remember her ever mentioning something like that..

Hinode: .. I think you should remember that detail just in case.

Hinode: Prisoners requesting something they wouldn't request in a different setting or situation should be considered suspicious. 

Hinode: I mean.. I've heard about what Riku did during the first trial.

Miki: .. Maybe you're right. I'll keep that in mind.

Miki: Now, Kei-san..

Miki: Kei-san asked for... spray paint?

Hinode: What is it with everyone suddenly getting new interests and hobbies..

Miki: When I asked him about it, he just went..

Miki: "Come on, Miki! I just want to make our prison more pretty! I want to make it more colorful! Everyone looks so sad these days.."

Miki: We can't ask Eiji-san about it right now, but I really doubt Kei-san really just.. "wants to make this prison more pretty".

Hinode: He's.. an interesting individual, that's for sure.

Miki: Now, Yoshioka-san..

Miki: Yoshioka-san asked for some new earrings and even described how she wants them to look like. She said that she just "kinda wants to try something new".

Miki: .. Even though it sounds like something she would ask for, I can't help but feel worried.

Hinode: Really? Why?

Miki: Yoshioka-san mentioned once that she got the earrings she wears now from her father. And if I'm not wrong, she has a very good relationship with her father.

Miki: So why would she.. suddenly want to get new earrings if these ones are so special to her?

Hinode: Huh..

Hinode: Well, Miki-san, I'm not sure what to say here, but..

Hinode: Usually something like that happens when a person gets disappointed in their family member and doesn't want to think about them.

Miki: ...

Miki: Also, Asahi-kun..

Miki: Asahi-kun's request was.. Here, let me read it.

Miki: "You know those stuffed animals that have stuff like candy or chocolate hidden inside and you can get it out when you unzip them? Yeah, I want one. Doesn't matter what it looks like, I care about the candy more anyway."

Hinode: His request is very in character for him, haha.

Hinode: But why would he ask for a plushie specifically? He can just ask for candy or whatever he wants to eat.

Miki: I don't know.

Miki: Maybe that's just him wanting to have something that he can play with. He's still a child after all.

Hinode: Oh, you're finally smiling. He really is important to you, isn't he?

Miki: .. Ahem.

Miki: So, Maruyama-san wrote..

Miki: "Whatever. Just give me whatever you want. Getting a gift from our savior is enough of an honor anyway."

Hinode: .. Yeah, the last part is definitely supposed to be sarcasm. 

Hinode: So, what did you decide to give her?

Miki: Well, here's the thing..

Miki: We never had to get whatever the prisoners asked for ourselves, we just.. had to ask everyone about their requests first and then write a list of the things we needed and everything appeared on the next day after that, we just had to bring everything to them.

Hinode: Actually.. How does this work?

Hinode: Does that mean someone else is.. buying these things for them? Or getting them from somewhere?

Hinode: Imagine if we had to go shopping for all these items. *laughs*

Miki: I don't know how this works.. And I'm not sure that I want to know.

Miki: But anyway, this morning, when I checked everyone's presents, I noticed that Maruyama-san's present was..

Miki: A letter.

Hinode: A letter?..

Miki: *nods*

Miki: I think it's also supposed to be from her.. manager?

Miki: It's signed too..

Miki: "Kanasawa Takame".

Hinode: Have you read the rest of the letter?

Miki: No, I didn't. To be honest, I just.. don't really care about their relationship.

Miki: I just want to know more about her crime and that's all.

Hinode: Hmm.. Well, we also can't be sure that this letter really was written by her manager.

Hinode: Maybe it's just someone who works here pretending to be her.

Hinode: *laughs* Imagine them writing this. That would be so funny.

Miki: If Maruyama-san realizes that this letter isn't actually from her manager..

Miki: .. I think she won't take it well.

Hinode: Well, that's what we have these things for, right?

Miki: .. Hinode-san, I will use these only when the prisoner is about to hurt someone or when it's okay to return their memories to them.

Hinode: Okay, okay. You're so strict.. You really are a perfect guard.

Hinode: .. I wonder what my brother has asked for.

Miki: His request actually wasn't that unique or out of the ordinary for him.

Miki: He just asked me for some hair dye again.

Hinode: Again?.. I thought he had already dyed his hair after the second trial. Wasn't it his first request after getting voted guilty?

Miki: He said that I got the wrong color for him.

Hinode: Oh..

Hinode: And what color did he actually want?

Miki: Black.

Hinode: Going back to his natural color, huh..

Miki: Finally, Himura-san..

Miki: .. She asked for a voice recorder.

Hinode: .. Are we even allowed to give her that?

Miki: Well, it's one of the presents, so.. I guess we are.

Miki: Listen, if I was allowed to give your brother a knife, I think voice recorder is more than okay.

Hinode: Well, I don't think whoever is in charge of this prison cares that much about the prisoners' safety, but if these prisoners find out something they weren't supposed to..

Miki: .. Whatever Himura-san does with this thing is none of my business.

Miki: A-anyway, I'm done with wrapping presents. Let's go, we shouldn't keep them waiting.

Miki: "I hope Eiji-san is doing okay.. I wish I could bring something to him as a present.."

***

???: Man, these prisoners are weird.

???: Spray paint? A cat glass figure?

???: I expected more from them.

???: To be honest, I have a bad feeling about this.

???: Really? Why?

???: I don't know, it's like..

???: Almost all of them are planning to use their presents in some way?

???: Why would someone request a voice recorder? Why would someone request spray paint? 

???: .. Are you telling me the third prisoner's gonna try to kill someone with an anime girl figure?

???: Do I look like I know what's going on inside his head?!

???: True.

???: Anyway, do you think you've done a good job with that letter?

???: I-I don't know. I've tried my best.

???: Well, now a poor lovestruck girl's mental health fully depends on how good you are at copying someone's handwriting, so..

???: If she snaps, that's gonna be on you~

???: Look, I'm already under too much pressure!..

???: Ehehe, it's okay. Come here, come here~

???: S-stop, this is embarrassing..

???: Also, do you think that girl.. you know.. has already watched the video I asked Jackalope to show her?

???: Well, judging by her suddenly asking for new earrings..

???: I think she's starting to understand something.

???: Do you think they will be mad at us?

???: Well, even if they will, who cares?

???: After all..

???: I am the real goddess of this place.

How do you think Henry's character will be written in S5? Some people have been speculating that he might get a 'redemption' right before he dies, and I also think that would be a better ending for his character too. I'd like to see El trying to reach to Henry for the last time and be there for him when he dies? What do you think?

That's such a great question! Based on the direction TFS took Henry's character, it really does seem like they are going for some sort of redemption. Or, at least, a super tragic character arc? I also see it like you do, that El and Henry could come to understand each other and team up against the mind flayer. It could give Henry's arc closure. I def don't see a way for Henry to not die, though, which is very sad, but i understand.
