What if like Vi and the others (I can’t spell their names) like tried to or kidnapped the reader to get Jinx to surrender! This is like during season 2 btw! I would prefer female reader but gender neutral is fine! Have a lovely day/night!

Sure! Have a lovely day as well!

Kidnapped

if you got kidnapped by anyone, it’s a given Jinx would go fucking crazy

I feel at first there was something knawing at her in the back of her head saying stuff like

“She left you. It’s your fault she left you. She’s thinks she’s to good for you.”

Even if she is really, really secure in your relationship there’s always something in her head saying that

She initially acted out as she had no fucking clue where you were and had no idea what happened to you so her mind is running wild

She is going fucking crazy looking for you bro, and I’m talking scouring the lanes, and she’s contemplating going topside as well

She either doesnt find out they have you until the Jinx vs Vi and Caitlyn be Sevika fight where they probably reveal they have you

Hey probably were trying to get her to surrender for your safety

Jinx was contemplating it, but she knew she would find a way to get you both out of there safely, and alive

But the other alternative where she finds out they have you, is probably when they started filling the lanes with The Grey and she’s in the hideout from when y’all were kids

She was in the rafters, and she saw that red headed girl she didn’t know the name of, with her hands on you and dragging you around like you weren’t the most precious thing in her life

Vi knows how important you are to Jinx

You either were with them when everything went down in episode three, and knew Vi since childhood

Or you met her during act 2 and she saw visually how much you meant to jinx and how much she relied and clung to you in her absence

Either way, she knows just who you are, and your importance to her sister

If you’re childhood friends, Vi would feel guilty but she had to do it

When Jinx gets her hands on Vi during their fight in the first scenario, she is going harder and she is more pissed

She doesn’t wanna kill her sister, she just wants her to feel the pain Vi purposely made her feel by taking you away

If she found out by scenario 2, she probably found some way to come out of hiding and get you out of there and probably fuck them up or just sneak you out of there with her and Sevikas arms

But when she does have you back, she is CLINGING to you and unwilling to let you go

She does not let you out of her sight because she is so scared that you will be taken away

She’s always been scared of being abandoned, now she’s worrying about you being forcibly taken away

She’s afraid you’ll be taken some place where she cannot find you and cannot save you

It takes a long time for her to calm down and let you go places alone again

Her relationship with Vi was already rocky, but this solidified how far gone their relationship was and how unfixable it is

If Vi was willing to take away the one person who makes her happy and keeps her grounded, what was the point of reconnecting? What was the point of reconciliation?

It also motivates her to take out Caitlyn. She wants Vi to feel the pain that she caused her

Guys, hear me out, again, I hate to be the one saying it, but:

Mohg kidnapping Miquella doesn't even make any fucking sense in hindsight.

Why would MOHG, who has his own confirmed definition of royalty in his dynasty, as an act of rebellion against the system which severely oppressed him, follow the tradition of being the consort to a GOD, for his claim to have legitimacy. Why. It doesn't make any sense for him to suddenly kidnap Miquella, at all.

Honestly, if anyone, it would very likely be Mohg who couldn't give less of a fuck about how his lordship will take place, as long as it does. Bro is extremely sure of his power and abilities, why, why, why would he share the belief a God is neccessary to achieve his goal???

This mf is all about rebellion in oppose to Morgott, on a philosophical level it would be super hypocritical to enable a new status quo by trying to achieve lordship through the current tradition. I mean, maybe that is the point if you still want to interpret him as an 'evil creep' but I personally think, that way, some things fit the narrative even better:

We know that there already was an established system via Ansbach, before the Miquella drama, so why on earth would Mohg, who considers his Pureblood Knights Royalty and creates his own nobles by sharing his blood, follow this atrocious tradition??

That way Ansbach's dying line, would also make a lot more sense. He hopes that the lordship which the Tarnished is trying to achieve, would follow more akin to what Mohg was probably trying to do, becoming a lord for men, not for the gods.

(And also for himself, I still think it was some kind of coping mechanism for Mohg to achieve lordship, so it was a mix out of the psychological need to get power, in order for it to be less likely to be controlled again (tragically ironic, really) and a big middle finger to what the Golden Order did to him.)

Mohg's dynasty used to be centred around having his blood shared. It didn't matter where you come from or what heritage you carry on your back. If you carry around his blood in your veins, you're part of the family.

I guess when Mohg was being enchanted by Miquella, his mindset shifted and suddenly, he became obsessed with creating this whole Formless-Mother vessel-thing. (Which in itself even sounds silly, like how to you push a goddess which is considered formless into a flesh vessel? It would seem fairly counterproductive but that is just some literal interpretation, also considering all the New Formless Mother lore we encountered in the DLC. )

That's when Ansbach – knowing his lord's usual mindset and ambition – probably noticed something is off and fairly easily figured out that Miquella was fucking with Mohg's mind. Hence why he tried to challenge him and lost. Mohg was more important to Miquella's plans than the other way around and opposed a threat to the order Miquella was trying to create. So why did he coccon himself? My guess is that he needed a gateway to the Lands of Shadow + a way to get rid of his golden flesh to escape the influence of the Greater Will. And being supposedly kidnapped, nobody would ever suspect him being behind all of this and annihilating Mohg as a possible, popular competitor to his goals, which was, as we see, extremely effective.

Okay I’m just so proud of this edit I just havee to talk abt some of the scene choices hehe🙈🙈

Mon, pine - ngl i completely forgot this scene existed until I randomly stumbled upon it while looking for some other screencaps and thank god I did cuz it fits SO WELL??? Lucy’s possessed by Annabel who’s talking abt someone else obviously but just LOOK at Lockwood’s face half of him wants to snap Lucy out of it/make sure she stays safe and the other half is just mesmerised by the sight of her looking at him like that. And the dialogue??? YOU LOVE ME, DONT YOU????? And he so obviously does but can’t say it/ is too scared to and it’s frightening to see lucy like this but he can’t look away he’s drinking in the sight like a man starved 😭 just the juxtaposition of lovkwood’s pining and the cheekily on-the-nose ‘you love me don’t you’ line creates this delicious tension ARGH the writers were sick SICKKK for this

Tue, long - as soon as he first laid eyes on lucy it’s like he can’t help but let his gaze linger over her and even though she’s the candidate being interviewed the way he tries to impress her as he gives her the tour (the basement training area, the ‘high security’ storage room, her room in the attic) it’s like you can tell he’s already desperately hoping that she’ll join as if he’s longing for company like hers

Wed, ache - love is nothing if not pain like other than the obvious physical pain of being in such close proximity to a flare explosion etc bro is HURTING with regret for putting her (and george) in danger just cuz he insisted they take the case and now they’re in so deep and its all his fault but also he just wanted to fix the 62 sheen road fallout keep his agency open (it’s almost like he wants to prove to her that he/lockwood and co. is worth sticking with) but it’s all gone so wrong and he’s just drowningggg in physical and mental anguish only love can hurt/ACHE like this frfr

Thu, sigh - but at the end of the day lockwood is still a 16 ish year old boy who sucks at expressing his innermost feelings and doesn’t know how to deal with jealousy in any way other than being moody about it/suppressing it and this scene is like yea these are kids fighting ghosts night after night but for five minutes they get to be regular angsty teenagers and have the air between them hang heavy with unspoken words and it’s all so dumb and frustrating but also they’re teenagers what ELSE are they going to do HHHHHHH like look at his face!!! bro is befuddled. dumbfounded. bamboozled even. (what do you mean you’re going out with Kipps i thought we’ve been playing house tgt what)

Fri, lament - as funny as this scene is it’s oddly sweet how he’s ranting so openly to Lucy and like the way she tries to reason with him (he probably signed the same NDA we did) and he STILL stomps around throwing a fit aurgghh it’s so adorable just kiss already

Sat, crave - just look at him. bro is down bad for every single part of lucy it’s like he can’t get enough of her, he’s not even hiding it here like look at him watch her like she’s the most precious thing in the world ughhh

Sun, yearn - ooh this scene is like the breaking point of all the accumulated hidden feelings and thoughts between them and he’s messed up so badly atp even lucy is properly pissed (where’s that incorrect quote - my girl is mad at me I am going to KILL myself) but he’s just too paralysed by 16-year-old-boy syndrome to respond to her (tho he finally gets his head on somewhat right in the next scene) so he just stares at her and takes the scolding wondering how things got this bad when all he had done was care and love and yearn for Lucy (can’t you see his heart clawing out of his chest to get to her)

Also I think it’s so hilarious that in the scene in the top gif he’s talking to lucy aka the very person that has him BOOKED AND BUSY with longing 😭😭

[ You wander over to the other splinter, not really knowing how to portray your own emotional shortcomings, but thank to being made by JAKE ENGLISH himself, you are a bit more emotional than the others. ]

BGD: Hey, Bro.

BGD: Can I ask you a question?

[ You wait for a response, tired eyes hidden behind the shades as you just wait. Your light seems more dimmer than before, as if you are trying to hold back from unintentionally blinding someone. Or, it could be reflecting your inner turmoil. ]

BGD: If I was sent here, does it mean that he doesn't need me anymore? Did he *ever* really need me to begin with? I mean, in that timeline, he has his Dirk. So, I just become obsolete.

[ You decide to shut up before you lose your COOL GUY STATUS. Something you still hold close to your chest. ]

BGD: Sorry. That was actually kinda dumb of me— Have you seen mini you? I wanted to talk to him more.

( @badlydrawn-brainghostdirk don't ask me what happened I don't KNOW I just started typing )

BRO: Isn't it a good thing that the English kid doesn't need ya?

BRO: . . Shit, that probably don't sound right. Hold on.

BRO: What I meant was . .

BRO: He needed to grow 'n rely on you less, become his own person. You needed to do the same. You're part Jake and part Dirk, but fully your own damn person. Just like any of the other splinters who waltz on in here. You're allowed to exist outside of Jake, even if your original purpose or whatever says otherwise.

BRO: For whatever reason, you exist even without the kid around. You just gotta find your footin' again and figure yourself out. It ain't easy but hey, who said bein' a Dirk splinter was easy? You'll be alright, kid.

well they also referred to him dying by the revival book as suicide experiments and i think even though this was directed to c!clingy and later c!tommy when c!dream brings it up again, it sounds like he's telling the truth because hes pointing out that c!tommy suiciding doesnt matter because he himself has experienced suicide before, it would be weird for c!dream to lie to c!tommy in that scene because if he lied there than his logic doesn't work, there also isnt a need to lie here when he could have just said "i died by the revival book" but he chose to call it suicide experiments

[context]

“dying by the revival book”? That um… that doesn’t make sense. I’m gonna say that might be a translation error which kinda makes this hard to respond to… But I don’t think Dream needs to point out that they’ve specially tested suicide after saying they tested every way to die, in order to highlight that Tommy’s suicide would have been made meaningless because of the book. He also doesn’t have to personally experience suicide for that fact to be true. - I have a book that makes death meaningless - remains valid logic regardless, especially since it ain’t like Tommy’s one to think logically or fact check Dream lol. Like Dream could say I’m gonna put Skeppy in this 2x1 hole in the wall and Tommy take it as perfectly reasonable logic. ;D In other words, Dream could’ve made the same point in the second stream about Tommy’s suicide being undone by the book, even without saying anything about testing the revive book or testing it by suicide. It doesn’t really matter, he was using the book to justify past behavior anyways, presumably before the experiments.

Why lie? Well, he made that comment in the statement that was setting up the saw trap room, which they clearly don’t really even care about since they gave them steak that they could use on the pressure plate to escape minutes before. Like when Tommy shows up in the next stream Dream seems confused about whether Tubbo is died or not. Like bruh didn’t you want to interview him about Limbo? And yet you’re unsure if he’s dead or not. [clip] and if that whole set up thing is fake, then is it not reasonable to question if the rest of his statement is less than truthful?…

But regardless if it is the truth or not, why is the assumption that Dream is the one committing suicide? He doesn’t say “I’ve committed suicide” he says “We've tested by—self-sacrifice and suicide.” Why couldn’t they have gotten Lazar or Vik to kill themselves? Or then again, we do know that both of them have been once so maybe the reason his list of examples they tested Limbo is so short is because that was the two ways they both tested if they could revive themselves. Like Dream committed suicide and Punz did a sort of self-sacrifice as their finale deaths to test whether they could bring themselves back from the dead. That then, would be using a partial truth, which would be very up Dream’s ally….

I don’t know. I’m not saying he is or isn’t lying or whatever… the point isn’t that it’s unreasonable to make the assumption that they experimented on themselves, it’s that there isn’t definitive proof that they did despite us all accepting it as canon… I mean I’m just trying to open the box here, what if they didn’t? What would that look like? Does that change how we think about them?…

at the beginning of the trial for 4-2, the judge makes it pretty clear that he hasnt seen klavier in court since the trial of seven years ago, and he even says that he worried klavier might still be upset about it. but klavier doesnt actually confirm or deny any of this

this dialogue drives me so insane. did he really stay away from all legal matters for seven years? did he prosecute cases and just happened to deal with other judges? did he work on cases that he didnt prosecute (like how edgeworth worked on sl-9 without being the prosecutor)??? he didnt even start prosecuting cases right after kristoph was arrested, there were about two months between 4-1 and 4-2, so it seems like he really did just start standing in court again to see if apollo was a good lawyer or not. im losing my mind i need to see klavier gavin again i need to know if he really did stop working as a prosecutor entirely for seven years and if he really did suspect that kristoph manipulated him all along
