Some fun Heartbroken trivia:

There is an older Nicholas and a younger Nicholas and they may have the same or similar powers

“He did.  Guillaume and Nicholas... Nicholas just wallops you with pants-shitting waves of terror...” ... “...I would’ve done it even if my big brothers weren’t coming for me, but I joined the Nine.”

Worm 11.g

...the younger Heartbroken in line.  Flor, Nicholas, Amias, Candy, and Darlene. ... ...the young ones, but Nicholas and Amias weren’t that into this particular game.

Ward 10.x

“You guys were busy helping Nathan after Nicholas got mad and terror-waved him.”

Ward 10.z

Older Nicholas and Guillaume aren't mentioned again after Cherie's interlude in Worm and Guillaume is only mentioned once in Ward

By the time he had her, he was bored enough with children that he didn’t pay her much mind.  You broke that ground, he got bored because he paid that attention to you.  You, Cherie, Jean-Paul, Valentina, Guillaume.  Trying to break you, trying to make you trigger.  Trying to make you soldiers.  Or just the days he was an asshole who wanted to hurt someone and you were the first person he saw after the impulse crossed his mind.

Ward 20.e2

There may have been a fifth sibling with powers who, by the time Cherie escapes, are (most likely) dead and Alec doesn't know

“...I was his fourth kid to show powers...”

Worm 7.1

Alec knows that Nicholas and Cherie have powers, so it goes: Unknown, Cherie, Nicholas, and then Alec. In Cherie's interlude...

“But it didn’t happen.  Time passed, he never made a push for it.  Guillaume got his power, you know.  Ten or so of us kids, and three of us could control people one way or another.  Four if we count you...”

Cherie mentions Guillaume having a power like it's news to Alec. Taking both Alec and Cherish's words together the order should be: Unknown, Cherie, Nicholas (these three can be shuffled around), then Alec, and lastly Guillaume.

Cherie doesn't seem to count Unknown among the active kids, keeping the count to four same as Alec, implying that Unknown died in between Alec running away and his encounter with Cherish in Brockton Bay.

Also, just for fun, the ages of the five seem to be: Nicholas and Guillaume as the oldest (20+ in 2011), Cherie as the next (20 in 2011), and then Alec (15 in 2011). Unknown is unknown so throw them anywhere. Maybe between Alec and Cherie to explain the five year gap between them.

remember the set vid from s5 of the rainbow room? do u think they were filming more 1979 flashbacks, or do u think they go BACK to the rainbow room in s5 real time (1987)

I think—No. I know we're gonna get to see both >:)

We're returning to the massacre specifically, so we'll 100% be back in 1979, but we're also getting scenes of the Upside Down Rainbow Room (probably circa 1983/1987).

My Outer Wilds OCs

This may or may not be relevant to my current projects...

Gypsum is small and pale, frail-looking with a sweet smile and only a few spots on their cheeks. They wear a lot of uncolored cloth and a scarf of dark blue. Green eyes, claps to the music. Gypsum is chronically ill and is usually stuck on bed rest; they work when they’re able by mending clothes, calculating star distances from pictures, and a lot of other busywork. As a person they are gentle, soft-spoken, and very low energy and apologetic about it, as their illness keeps them from much else. They have a core of steel when needed though.

Citrine wears olive drab overalls with lots of pockets and a tattered, pale green sweater. They also have a giant clunky work belt, clompy boots which are a bit big for their average size (same as Feldspar), and a black flat cap hat. Blue eyes, plays the spoons. Citrine is very autistic-coded, they work as a janitor and general handyman in the village as their special interest is cleaning and maintenance. They became friends with the much more gregarious Slate when they started cleaning up their messes when things went wrong, then stayed friends when Slate realized they’re fine with being conscripted for projects. Citrine prefers things simple and safe, but they chronically cover for other people's errors to keep from rocking the boat. This does come back to bite them sometimes, but they're learning to stand up for themself better.

Orogeny is standard hatchling model, tall and lanky, with a washed out, grey scarf. Yellow eyes, plays the violin. Orogeny is a calm, horribly practical hatchling with a firm grounding in reality with bends towards despondency. They fall into apathy easily but also find a lot of simple joy in things.

Chlorite is a tall and sturdy person, a little on thicker side because they are very fit as part of being an astronaut. They wear a dark green scarf and have a few scars on their arms. Yellow eyes, plays the kazoo. Outgoing, reckless, brave, a little dumb sometimes, but stubborn and well-meaning. Their friends growing up were Marl and Hal.

Beryl is a very tall, very thin person who wears dark blue pants and a grey long-sleeve shirt with a leather lap apron over it. They wear a lot of white and brown patches on their clothes, these patches being scraps of undyed cloth. Orange eyes, plays the lyre. Beryl is the cloth-maker and dyer of the village, they act very courtly. They’re on the gentle side and polite, with a love for their craft and a sheepish lack of knowledge about sewing or anything to do with the cloth after it’s made.

Kaolin wears a brown dress with an orange shawl overtop, lots of patches on the lower hem of the skirt. They are on the shorter end, but they make up for it in sheer presence. Yellow eyes, plays the concertina. Kaolinite works as the Hearthians’ librarian/archivist, keeping all the books and papers that aren’t private in their house and sometimes lending them out for research or light reading. They’re friends with Esker in that Esker will deliberately keep a book until it’s overdue just so Kaolinite will visit the radio tower and call to yell at them. They are kinda granny-coded, outspoken, and a horrible gossip, with a rivalry with Hornfels over their work and where papers should be kept, as well as organization.

Orpiment is average size, same as Gossan, and they wear a grey miner’s helmet, tan pants, sturdy boots, and a red shirt with a gray kerchief around their neck. Blue eyes, plays the penny whistle. Orpiment is a lot like Feldspar but of the mines, their job as a miner allowing them free reign to explore the tunnels under the crust left by the Nomai. Their likeness to their friend causes Gossan some grief, as does their recklessness, and they clash once or twice because their safety and how they act isn’t for Gossan to control. They are cheerful, brave, and an optimist with a realist bend, with a love for song. They’re good friends with Tuff and they work together regularly with Tektite doing miner things in miner cultural fashion.

I love the little squad of shades who follow Mel around the Crossroads when she gets back from a win

It has been one of the most magical working experiences of my entire life and career. I have loved every second working with Jessica Madsen. I think she's made from heaven. — CLAUDIA JESSIE on working with Jessica Madsen, Bridgerton BTS.

Kind of ironic how one of Xie Lian's titles is "The god-pleasing crown prince" when the one thing he does consistently without fail is piss off the Heavenly Emperor.

TUA SEASON 4 SPOILERS

i’ve never been so disappointed in umbrella academy. i really had high hopes for this season and they met those expectations but were ruined the moment i watched episode 5. the way they managed to massacre two perfectly good characters and their perfectly good platonic relationship for the sake of more bullshit drama just hurts me greatly. five has been my favorite for all 5 years i’ve been apart of this fandom. and to see him turn from someone who cares greatly for his family and would never do anything to hurt them in any capacity to a literal home wrecker and someone willing to give up on his family so easily. and lila turning from a strong independent woman who is willing to fight for herself into a pawn being fought over by two dumbasss brothers. it just really sucks. these characters had so much love and heart put into them and really could’ve been more if they weren’t given the short end of the stick by terrible writing.

there could’ve better ways to create compelling drama without sacrificing the characters integrity.

so disappointed i don’t think i can look at umbrella academy the same again.

(stayed up till 3am to watch this with a friend 😭 never getting these hours of my life back. such time wasted.)

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue
