#cs honestly i would be so alone w/o him

If you've only been watching for the ships, then you'll probably bow out of S7 since literally none of them will be left LOL. Though I suppose even though CS & RB fans must have major reservations, there will always be chances of appearances/references, which is more than you say for Snowing. Emma is my favorite character, so w/o her, I'm going to have to look at it as a whole other show. But I do love Hook and will have to see what version of him Colin will play before officially quitting.

There’s the thing. I actually envy Snowing fans here, both of them left (although may be doing guest staring), but at least the fans know that their relationship was unshaken, and that if they just watched for them there is zero interest in the show and they can move on.

But as a CS shipper I feel so torn because one of my two favorite actors on the show left and the other one stayed. So I honestly don’t know what to do here. My first instinct was to say that I won’t watch without her, then that I will see how they do this before I make a decision. The fact that it’s gonna be available for me to watch on Saturday morning also means I will give it a go because I have more free time. 

But this situation really sucks! I’ve been “only watching for the ship” lately not because this was all I was interested with, but because the writing was so bad in the last two seasons, so many plot holes, so many things they were ignoring, or just didn’t care enough to close a storyline that without CS I would have probably just let it go two years ago, like I know so many have done along the way. 

So now that the ship is over and all that is left is Hook, I truly don’t know if I will be able to stay just for him. If there would be a CS daughter that he will interact with maybe it will be interesting, but at the same time, separating Emma from another child and let her grow alone????? I feel like it will be really hard for me to love this season.

carnivalsOrphans > That was probably a threat. Stupid fuckin coward can't even stick around long enough to have it make sense.

cataclysmicSwing > She’s equipping the Captor’s block with aerial silks. Ominous.

carnivalsOrphans > Well, time to troll someone else.

-- carnivalsOrphans [CO] began trolling crownCuller [CC] --

carnivalsOrphans heard ya might be busy and ya might wanna stop bein busy for a few minutes

crownCuller > Feferi has finished her sixth business meeting of the night, hasn’t slept more than ten minutes at a time in over a week, had coffee spilled on her very heat-sensitive hands, and an unfamiliar account is messaging her personal, private handle. > She rubs her face, takes a breath, and tells herself to think sweet thoughts.

38? S)(ello, w)(o is t)(is? Very busy IND--E--ED boat alwaves )(ave t)(e time to kelp!

carnivalsOrphans i ain't completely decided yet. either an enemy, or someone who'll leave ya the fuck alone that all depends on what ya tell me glad you is so eager to help

crownCuller )(m. You )(ave a finteresting wave of intunaducing yours)(elf!

carnivalsOrphans > Goddamnit, this ain't the time to be charmed by fish puns.

yeah, i like to think so

crownCuller W)(ale, let's sea w)(at we can do )(ere, s)(ell we? W)(at seams to be t)(e probubblem?

carnivalsOrphans you got sollux captor you intend ta use him to further your cause

crownCuller O)(... You must be t)(at clown Aradia was telling me aboat. Ringleader, fis)(n't it?

carnivalsOrphans ;o)

crownCuller I'd rat)(er avoid issues if posseabubble. Too muc)( fig)(ting foar bad reasfins, don't you sink?

carnivalsOrphans depends on ya reasons, honestly so what are they

crownCuller Sollux Captor is a crus)(oal part of our plan to OV--ERTHROW AND R--EHAUL TH--E --ENTIR--E --EMPIR--E.

carnivalsOrphans well no shit

crownCuller Fin fact, we acs)(oally can't do it wit)(out )(im. W)(ic)( is )(onestly terreefble.

carnivalsOrphans i got mixed feelings on rebellion. your job, this exact second, is convince me the overhaul is gonna be somethin worth fightin for.

crownCuller W)(ale... If seaccussfully ac)(ieved, t)(e over)(aul would lead to t)(e abeelishment of t)(e caste difis)(ion structure. Jobs, poseations, AMBOC--EANS TH--EMS)(--ELV--ES, will naut be controlled by a troll's color. T)(e constant fig)(ting wit)(fin and wit)(out our seaciety will also be put to a )(ALT. Troops pulled out of conflict wit)( other species, eelstablis)(ing peace treaties, acs)(oally utilizing our resources to repair our own struggling economy, end slavery, bring war criminals to account and ideelly atone foar t)(eir crimes wit)(out addoceanal suffering...

carnivalsOrphans that's a lotta ideals and just what are you willing ta do, to make this all come about?

crownCuller W)(ale, yes. And I've been planning on )(ow to make t)(em )(appen foar quite some time. W)(at I going to do is take )(--ER out mys)(elf, wit)(out risking ot)(er potentieel casualties. But t)(ere is no seanario w)(ere I can win, and no seanario that an army will either.

carnivalsOrphans so you're willing ta put someone who didn't ask for this shit on the front line

crownCuller T)(is is w)(ere t)(e discovery of lime psi came in, aboat... o)( s)(ell, seamw)(ere over t)(irty sweeps back? Sollux is unfortunately t)(e only one we've gotten wit)( t)(e correct type. )(e was meant to be finformed of t)(is a long time ago, boat w)(en )(e came to me, t)(e Sufferists )(iding in my )(ive scared him off befoar we could meet. T)(--EN of course )(e )(as been understandably paranoid, and kills any w)(o try to find )(im. I )(ad )(oped )(e would calm in time, but it's too close by now.

carnivalsOrphans so has he ever agreed?

crownCuller 38/ I just said )(e )(asn't been finformed.

carnivalsOrphans and so the best way ta inform him was to put out a hit on him, fail to kidnap him, and then succeed to kidnap him, injurin him in the process? what happens if he don't agree?

crownCuller T)(en again, )(e may )(ave known somefin befoar! I w)(ale admit I was not fin charge of monitoring. T)(ere are a lot of fins going on at once )(ere. If )(e says no?

carnivalsOrphans ta bein part of this

crownCuller W)(ale, we'll find out, won't we. I've been told )(e woke up a little w)(ale ago acs)(oally, would you like me to pass on any message from you?

carnivalsOrphans no, tell me. what are you gonna do if he says no

crownCuller Sea w)(at it is )(e isn't understanding, of course!

carnivalsOrphans and what if he still don't wanna?

crownCuller Sollux is a troll w)(o agrees wit)( w)(at makes sense to )(im. T)(is plan will, )(e's )(alf of t)(e trolls we tailored our plan to.

carnivalsOrphans and what if he says 'fuck you, i don't wanna do this because you kidnapped me and hurt me' what if he just wants ta be left alone? what if he ain't reasonable?

crownCuller )(e's V--ERY W--ELCOM--E to take t)(at up wit)( Aradia.

carnivalsOrphans i'm not talkin about aradia. i'm talkin about you

crownCuller S)(e is an aggressive troll, and )(e's learned to be, so it's more t)(an a bit diseastrous! 38(

carnivalsOrphans oh no oh no, people don't like bein kidnapped they get aggressive if they are taken forcibly from their hive :o(

crownCuller )(e wasn't S--EAPPOS--ED to be kidnapped, good gracious.

carnivalsOrphans well, then what do you know about the teal? you are the LEADER, you ain't supposed ta just go 'oh yeah, my rail did it, i didn't mean it that weren't me'. she did it for you, you gotta take responsibility he's got every fuckin RIGHT ta take anythin up with you

crownCuller W)(ale of course )(e does.

carnivalsOrphans 'he's very welcome to take that up with aradia' ain't that what i just read with my own two ganderorbs?

crownCuller I didn't reelize every word I say )(as to )(ave footnotes foar all t)(e extra comments. 38/

carnivalsOrphans you're a LEADER YOU'RE GONNA BE A QUEEN GET FUCKIN USED TO IT.

crownCuller > “Holy nook-fucking pitch goddesses, does he really think I’m as diligent with disclaimers in private as I am in public. Dumbass.” > The troll bringing her an iced tea looks startled. Feferi gushes apologies and charm. Now, for the dumbass.

T)(at is already w)(at I do on t)(e nig)(tly baseas, and I've been told it's annoyfin to add paragraphs of detailed explanocean to every comment in private conc)(versation! T)(is is a private conc)(versation fis)(n't it? 38( If you wanted an offis)(oal talk you s)(oald )(ave gone foar my business )(andle.

carnivalsOrphans whoops didn't care enough. what happens to sollux if he don't want to help you. ignore the reasons why, just assume full stop he don't wanna help and it ain't gonna change least not without the kinda persuasion that comes from somethin other than words

crownCuller You are talking aboat a 1% posseability )(ere.

carnivalsOrphans this ain't about him. this is about you, and what you're willin to do to achieve your goals

crownCuller We aren't going to TORTUR--E )(IM W--E DON'T DO THAT H--ER--E.

carnivalsOrphans then what will you do?

crownCuller Talk!

carnivalsOrphans and if that don't work? if all he wants to do is be let go?

crownCuller T)(en )(e can go after.

carnivalsOrphans if he don't WANT TO HELP if he wants to be let go right then

crownCuller I cannaut t)(row away t)(e lives of TRILLIONS, foar one troll t)(at says no. I cannaut allow one s)(ellfis)( decision spell out t)(e end foar everyone else. If t)(ere was ANY ot)(er way foar me to take, I would. But t)(ere isn't, and )(e will know t)(at.

carnivalsOrphans so despite the fact you're sayin you ain't gonna force him ta do nothin, you are willing you gonna be willing after you win?

crownCuller W)(at?

carnivalsOrphans you gonna be willing ta do that sorta shit 'for the greater good'? forcin people to do what they don't want to do?

crownCuller If t)(at is w)(at it takes to stop trolls foam destroying worlds? Destroying our own? Yes. T)(at is w)(at leaders )(ave to carry.

carnivalsOrphans what about after that, what about after you gain peace?

crownCuller If Sollux isn't t)(ere, I will die, every troll under my protection will die, and t)(e slaug)(ter across t)(e galaxies will continue as Alternia falls apart.

carnivalsOrphans when do you stop bein willing?

crownCuller You don't G--ET to stop.

carnivalsOrphans > Gods, he is being reminded far too much of his pitchmate for comfort.

do your troops know you're willing ta do this?

crownCuller I'm naut the ideelist you keep accusing me of being. I've watc)(ed t)(e suffering drag out for longer than most land-dwelling trolls get to live. I know I don't get to put t)(is burden down once I've picked it up.

carnivalsOrphans i ain't ACCUSIN YOU of shit i'm askin you

crownCuller But Sollux? )(is part ends w)(en I step into t)(e audience )(all, and I will never ask )(im of anyt)(ing again. Even if I still fail wit)( )(is )(elp, I've made certain t)(at )(e will get out un)(armed. My troops know, yes. T)(ey've been tasked wit)( evacuating t)(e rest of my trolls in t)(e event t)(at I fail. And I can only )(ope t)(ey'll be able to run fast enough.

carnivalsOrphans no, i'm talkin willin to force someone to do shit for you

crownCuller As often as I am faced wit)( t)(at decision and as often as t)(ere is no way around it, I will take t)(at decision.

carnivalsOrphans ya know this is basically pale rape, right? what you're makin him do?

crownCuller Yes. And I will naut try to fool )(im into sinking ot)(erwise.

carnivalsOrphans you tried tellin your moirail that?

crownCuller S)(e's gotten... desperate. And I do naut condone what s)(e's done out of that desperation. W)(en a fig)(t )(as taken up your entire life, I can eelmagine it's )(ard to keep your pan sorted.

carnivalsOrphans > He thinks of his church. Of how much stronger they are together, how they keep each other strong with that support.

crownCuller Foar now though, Sollux is )(ere, and w)(ale )(urt from an explosion II cannaut let )(im go wandering off. Again, do you want me to tell )(im anyfin foar you? I am naut going to be seaing )(im foar a couple moar nig)(ts boat I w)(ale try to pass it on. And as my fis)(ter mig)(t say, tell Aradia to "c)(ill t)(e s)(ell out."

> Long silence. Feferi downs her iced tea.

38? S)(ello? Ringleader?

carnivalsOrphans yeah, i'm around the fact that she's so desperate is somethin you should be helpin with, as her rail. and as her leader.

crownCuller > Annnnnd there goes the glass. 

Buoy... getting finto someone s)(ellse's private life is a lot moar t)(an w)(at c)(ecking in on yoar friend requires. I've been open in ot)(er ways, please leave t)(e one private t)(ing I )(ave alone. (W)(ic)( does also mean to stop reading our logs. I'm assumfin t)(at's )(ow you got my finformation.)

carnivalsOrphans sis, that's advice, from someone about a thousand times older than you. if she's desperate, you're failing her, and you need ta help. that's about the only good thing you're gettin from me, so you better take it. or not, i don't really care, it ain't my fuckin life.

crownCuller Was t)(ere or was t)(ere naut anyfin you wanted me to tell Sollux?

carnivalsOrphans i'd rather be able ta actually talk to him ya know. myself.

crownCuller W)(at am I seapposed to say, "Yoar mentor Ringleader )(as been messaging us but doesn't want to tell you anyfin." Yikes, orcay. I need to SL--E--EP befoar I get crankier.

carnivalsOrphans that shouldn't be a hard request. just tell your rail ta give his palmhusk back, considerin she stole it and talked ta me on it which is a bit above and beyond kidnappin, if ya ask me

crownCuller T)(e palm)(usk isn't working, s)(e said. Largely broken, s)(e's trying to transfer it to a moar seacure device.

carnivalsOrphans uhuh. then ya know. she should get right on that. breakin other people's shit is rude.

crownCuller )(e's t)(e one w)(o decided to blow up t)(e cliff! All )(is fins would )(ave been brought )(ere fintact ot)(erwaves. Fin any case. I )(ave moar meetings to get to, and work on top of that. If you have moar questfins talk to Aradia. Good lig)(t.

carnivalsOrphans good light
