[becauseplot]

thinking about archivists again. below the cut: obscene amounts of brainrot in the form of a long-winded relationship study and oddly specific references to canon that may or may not be accurate

im trying to come up with some sort of au for them (writer's block and creative burnout is a BITCH it's okay though we stay silly) and there's just something about how qphil and qcellbit don't (or didn't) really wind up in each other's circles often. sure they were friendly with each other in passing, and they definitely had some nice little interactions earlier on: cellbit briefly interviewing phil on one of his first days on the island over a cup of coffee and solidifying phil's view of cellbit as the Dedicated Investigator; phil asking cellbit to babysit chayanne and tallulah while he's away on a trip and cellbit being more than happy to; phil briefly checking in with cellbit --- who was in the process of tumbling into his regret arc, cutting off ties with loved ones and making himself a martyr --- and asking if he was okay when phil spotted him hanging alone in the back of the group; chatting about the upcoming wedding and phil advising cellbit that he and roier should probably introduce some sort of dress code (lmao); cellbit watching phil and missa meet up for the first time in months on the way to the federation's people-freezers and all of the pieces rapidly falling into place (the name of phil's waystone, phil's skull backpack, phil's elusive "husband," ohhhhhhh...). they've always been in each other's peripheral, but never directly involved in each other's personal lives.

until the happy pills.

see the thing about archivists is that they're not drawn together by a pre-existing friendship; they're more friendly acquaintances at this point, perhaps almost-friends, though they're certainly not close. but then forever's life is under threat, and god, they both love forever immensely. with direct help from bad and indirect help from others (qpac you LEGEND), they're eventually able to formulate a plan that successfully drag forever out from under the haze of drugs, pull him to the surface. they sit next to each other as they sit at the bedside of their mutual friend, watch him breathing, and try to breathe themselves.

and from that moment on it's solidified: they know they can depend on each other, when shit hits the fan. they have their respective strengths, and they balance out each other nicely. i wish i had gotten more of a chance to watch their dynamic during purgatory 1 (unfortunately i have a life sadge) but from what i saw, they turned out to be some pretty good co-leaders, and an interesting dynamic at that: phil acting more as a support role (moral support, resource support, combat support, ALL the support) and stepping up into a leader-like role when needed, but ultimately letting cellbit take the helm a lot of the time since he's a strategist with more practice managing large groups of people (i wont get into it here, and i want to watch more vods so i can more properly analyze them but HOUGHH i have THOUGHTS!! SO MANY!!!)

what im trying to get at is that they were initially in the peripheral in each others lives but were eventually drawn together out of necessity, due to circumstances. the mutual respect followed, which was then followed by trust, and then collaboration, and then friendship. i've also made this post talking about their dynamic, how they both understand each other's need to focus on the here and now and understand that they don't need to know every little thing about each other to still trust each other. and this is so integral to their relationship. it's what makes archivists archivists.

so now all that's left for me to do is try to come up with some sort of au i can chuck them in, incorporating this idea of "friendship of necessity" as a core feature of the plot. i have scattered ideas but none are particularly appealing or solid enough. i will try though!! if u have any suggestions/thoughts/ideas feel free to leave a comment or say in tags (pspsppsps come brainrot with meeee)

dude what is it with my favorite fnf mods of all time and having all of their lore and supplememtary information just completely inaccessible to the general public

Its uni season and im once again debating online courses i cannot afford

What drew them to the Titans, exactly?

Collector hesitated, if only for a minute, while he debated on how to go about answering that. ❝ They're so cute and fun to play with! ❞ He retorted, far too quickly and with far too much fake gusto in his voice.

..No, that wasn't the whole truth, was it? Collector visibly deflated, their earlier glee replaced with something more... vulnerable, and honest. Did they want to be that sappy in front of Golden Guard? Philip never wanted to hear their pity parties, and they weren't so sure their new friend did either, but... then again, Philip never directly asked.

❝ And... they're kind, ❞ He began again, slowly and more deliberately, ❝ and accepting, and so so welcoming - they never judged me for being different than them, or told me they didn't care about my games, or pushed me away. ❞ He admitted, gaze pointedly averted. ❝ My siblings never wanted to play with me, or let me play with any of the mortals they discovered, ❞ Collector huffed, crossing his shadowy arms and trying to move on from his previous uncomfortable bout of honesty, ❝ so it was real nice to meet the Titans, and to have them be so nice and... stuff. ❞

As such, they were very grateful when the subject changed, and they let out a more characteristic giggle. ❝ Yeah, they don't hurt each other, at least not usually and never on purpose... when you say it like that, I guess what Titan babies do when they play is pretty similar to griffin babies. ❞ The visual made them glance off, slightly unfocused, trying to hold back more laughter as they mentally pictured a bunch of little tiny griffins just like the one Golden Guard had shown them last time, play wrestling all adorable-like the same way Collector's own beloved Titan friends did. Oh, another reason he must like griffins so much, if they did stuff like that too!

Collector nodded in confirmation, re-enacting the swaddling motion once more, ❝ They're teeny tiny, ❞ he "clarified", before resting his hands back on his cheeks, puffing them up as he continued to answer each of his friend's Titan-related questions. It made him think, a lot, on stuff he didn't even know he was aware of way back then. It was... nice, to have this type of friend again; one who was actively partaking in a discussion with him and not just... pushing aside Collector's own ideas and thoughts to interrogate him on something only they cared about.

Then, something strange happened. Golden Guard, who had seemed so engaged with Collector's informational splurge said something they didn't quite hear, and stopped, changed somehow... drew back? Their heart sunk as he sat, tightly curled up. Oh, no, were they boring him? They didn't mean to! They really thought he had been enjoying this, that he had liked learning stuff from them -

Then he apologized.

And Collector was left (metaphorically) scratching his head.

Man, every time they thought they were getting closer to understanding mortals and their behavior, something they weren't used to popped up and knocked them off their trail.

❝ It's okay. ❞ He said awkwardly, pausing, clearly out of his element here. It was always Marrow who was good with emotional stuff and making people feel good and accepted, not him. Hmm. What did he say in response to himself now? Something to reassure his friend further, right? Oh no, he was making this even more weird by taking so long to follow up. ❝ I like talking! ❞

Their expression shifted from that of uncertainty to barely holding back immense self-cringe. They couldn't believe they just said that. ❝ Uh, you know, if you like listening! ❞ They offered once more, seemingly blissfully unaware of the concept of putting one's foot in their own mouth. Golden Guard didn't seem mad, though, so they attempted to sit with the impending yelling tirade directed their way lull in conversation as best they could; clasping their hands together and staying quiet while observing what Golden Guard did next, which... seemed to be... drawing pictures?

It was a short while before their friend spoke again, and Collector was frankly shocked to not hear any annoyance or dismissal directed their way. This Grimwalker really was confusing. But... confusing as he was to them, he once again inquired something about the Titans with what they assumed was still genuine curiosity. ❝ ...they do. ❞ They answered quietly, perhaps quieter than they had ever spoken with Golden Guard before, ❝ ...I mean, they took me in as basically one of their own, so... adopting another Titan is, like, first nature to them. ❞

❝ I... actually, I have no idea. ❞ He replied next, wracking his memories for any potential talk of other extreme environments. ❝ They do fine in extreme cold, and extreme heat, and I think extreme weather too, so... maybe? ❞ He offered, shrugging. ❝ I'm pretty sure they can also live kinda in water - not all the time but a good chunk of the time, and can spend a while swimming in the Sparkling Sea before they have to head back to land. ❞

At Golden Guard's repetition of their previous words, alongside his small smile, they nodded and relaxed a bit more, this time slipping into a more comfortable conversational lull. Maybe... he really wasn't mad at them for talking so much after all.

"What drew you to the titans specifically?" There were so many different kinds of creatures out there, and titans were turning out to be quite amazing, but there was no interest in any of the others at all?

"Pretend sparring . . . ?" If sparring was pretend fighting, what was pretend sparring? He was about to ask what difference there was between sparring and practice (sparring was practice, right?) when they mentioned claws and biting, and something clicked. "Oh! Do you mean like, when baby griffins crawl over each other and pretend bite but it's gentle so they don't actually hurt each other?" He knew that behavior at least, though his teacher had only ever called it roughhousing.

He leaned forward again and continued writing down what the Collector said. "They're that small?" he asked with wide eyes. How incredible it was, for a creature to grow so much in size. "Does the parent ever have to worry about accidentally crushing their offspring? Or do they stop reproducing after they get to a certain size?"

They could already crawl upon hatching, though, and they still had horns and fangs, though they were only nubs. He attempted to draw out how he imagined a baby titan might look based off these descriptions.

Several questions rose up within him - How long did it take for the horns and fangs to grow? If they started out tiny but got huge, how quickly did they grow? How long did it take for a clutch to be able to forage on their own? - but when they tried to come out all at once and resulted in only a rushed splutter, he snapped his mouth shut, ears immediately dropping.

Valor drew his legs up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, the pen held tight in both hands, linking them together. The questions overtaking each other made him realize just how much he was asking and-

"Sorry," he muttered, looking away. "I'll be quiet." He was sure if the Collector could touch things, he'd have already gotten a ruler snapped against the table to stop him. His beastkeeping teacher liked to do that a lot, to stop him from going off-topic. He never knew which questions were okay to ask and which ones weren't. And the expression of an annoyed, disapproving Belos was seared well into his mind, and he knew with him he wasn't supposed to ask any questions at all.

He was lucky he caught himself before the Collector got to that point.

He nodded quietly at the further information, writing it all down. That answered his question about accidentally crushing their offspring due to their size. They tended to stay away, and it was the smaller ones of previous clutches that did the incubating. Okay. And only 2-4 per clutch, unless lone eggs were found which were then adopted into the clutch.

He had to be careful here. It was a balancing act.

He was supposed to still ask questions if he had any, but not all at once.

One at a time.

"They had a strong sense of adoption, then?"

Lived in ice and snow. He shoved down his questions on thermoregulation, subspecies, and potential migration and instead asked the single, "Can they survive in all extreme environments, or just temperature extremes?"

The Collector's declaration did get Valor to smile a bit again, though, small as it was. "That's good." No little guys left behind.

vat7k designs in my head...

i thought their canon designs were a eensy weensy bit Unpolished so i made these mostly for myself. erm if u rly want it i think varian is 19 here, hugo 19, nuru 18, yong 12.

i also made rhem all playlists and had to draw them a cover so thats what the last img is I linked each of em under my notes for all of em... Under the cut is Like a Huge Infodump of notes i have for each chara,,,,,,

i kept varians design basically the same, i dislike the design w the orange neck thing so i just Nuked it😭... Here's Varians playlist

Hugos design i just wanted to put him in something more Loose. hes a thief, a professional escape artist. i dont think wearing clunky metal is ideal for him. i also gave him a prosthetic arm (blond w no arm design trope!) but u cant see it in the ref so i added another drawing of him in his under layering👍 i vaguely referenced russian(?) clothes for him as well... Yeah not too much changed w him i just tried to make him slippery-er. Here's Hugo's playlist

yong came relatively easy to me, if it wasn't obvious i did rip gaming from g*nshin's hoodie. i thought the lion hood was Adorable and freaking perfect for what i had in mind for hos character. since the og notes said the fire kingdom is loosely Chinese inspired i basically just kept that. i mashed tgt a buncha diff dynasties though sorry for how inconsistent i was... i think he looks Okay. anyways i changed yongs role a bit, ill explain why im adjusting some of their roles later but i kept yong as the Jinx Type character. hes the eldest in his family and has a buncha younger siblings, hes a lion dancer and does performances w his family/siblings. he rly like special effects n keeps tryna incorporate his fireworks into their performances (it flops and he has to sew up the dmg) ill explain more of yongs role in another post maybe shrugs... Here's Yong's Playlist

miss nuru was a bit of a struggle for me i might share my full design process with her coz i did a Bunch of mockups for her😭😭😭... i didnt have a specific country of reference for her but i chose to make her vaguely south asian inspired. i also really wanted to keep the sheer fabric w the star / constellation map. i love that idea its so cute so shes still technically the navigator. but she also wields a sword too, fencing or whatever. (her and varian r Huge Cass fangirls which is probably why she started tryna use a sword (snuck out to watch cass compete) Okay ill talk abt this later) in my head, okay ill Probably make a whole nother post talking abt how im interpreting/writing each chara, but in my head i think nuru is the youngest and her kingdom's archivist. shes mostly in charge of like Her kingdoms history / artifacts / etc. ok im getting too side tracked ill save the lore dump for later but thats Nurus role in the party. Here's Nuru's Playlist

uhm below i made their character stats mostly to help me with planning / role developing. the yellow is their base stats the color behind is their end stats i guess. i was gonna explain my reasoning for their stats but ermm this post is kinda Really long so sorry😭... varian max int for obvious reasons, also max charisma just coz i feel like u kinda learn a thing or two being around a couple manipulators and spending time in jail idk shrugs... (also lets not forget the "ud b surprised what ppl would do for a cookie!") Hugo slippery guy, if a brick is thrown at him as hes running hes gonna try n run faster to shatter it, his mindset is Run Run Run! i think hes relatively agile too but yeah mostly a Speedster. i think he n varian got no Physical strength varian maybe just like A little coz Farm boy but I rly doubt quirin is making him do a Lotta heavy lifting. yong has incredible stamina and agility because hed a performer. nuru is the strongest coz this team would literally Flop without a proper Offense😭... i think varian n hugo r able to outwit plenty of their opponents but i think nuru is pretty good in a fight, same w yong. Yeah Okay Sorry for a Long Long Post thanks hope u guys enjoy

[blorbocedes]

let me take you guys on a journey. one that will help you understand how annoyingly obsessive and hung up my brain can get......

so here is where our wild goose chase starts. I was going through a 2012 f1 blog's nico tag. it's actually pretty rare for early 2010s blogs to have comprehensive tagging systems so whenever I find one I try to go thru it all. and I come across this v cute nico image (cropped for posterity. payoff will be worth it promise)

here we have a picture, from 2012, and in classic 2012 fashion there is meme text on it. OP of the original pic deactivated. so I want to find the version without the meme text. pretty easy, just reverse google search right?

WRONG!

google reverse search is functionally dead and defunct and absolutely dogshit.

ok back to square one. I'm trying to sus out from whatever information I have.

the other meme watermark of f1humour.tumblr.com? deactivated.

okay 37 notes. maybe I can do something with this.

tumblr kind of breaks (?) with very old posts. so even if someone tagged it, I can't see it. ok but 14 people liked it!

of the 14 accounts only 7 actually show, including mine. so what I do is I go through 6 of those blogs, and their public archives because those accounts are all inactive for several YEARS now. and I check their blogs for April 2012.

no luck.

back to the drawing board.

the meme has a MOTORSPORT.COM watermark.

here's all the information I have: this was posted on April 24th, 2012, which means that's my upper limit on the date this could be taken. Nico got in Mercedes in 2010. So from anywhere between 2010-2012 motorsport images couldve taken this pic.

so, because I was born with excessive intelligence, I think hmmm... let me search the archives of Motorsport Images dot com. surely that is where Motorsport dot com would keep their Images.

two years of a racing driver's pictures means thousands of pictures. okay. let's start from April 2012. unfortch for keen eyed listening, April 2012 was also the Chinese Grand Prix aka Nico's first f1 win.

why is that relevant? because it means every photographer and their MOTHER took a picture of nico for his first win. over 900+ images.

while I am exhibiting extremely unemployed levels of behavior here, I don't actually have the time and brain capacity to sift through 900 images.

I go back to the original tumblr post. this time I go to the empty reblogs. there's lots!

but because there's no tags it can't help me. still I go through every one of them because you can see the blog I found the pic from @the-fastest-waffle is listed in the other reblogs even though they clearly had tags!

and I find my silver lining. from @fuckyeahf1drivers's tags

just this simple. #bahrain #lol

if this picture is from bahrain 2012 it changes everything, as in it narrows my search a shit tonne.

375 images. This means 1-15 pages and I know the exact picture I'm looking for. I feel like I'm SO close. I can't give up now. gambler mentality 💎

so I guess what. I go through all 15 goddamn pages. and I DONT FIND IT!!!!!!!!! SCREEEEEECH

now I've lost hope. if it's not from bahrain 2012 then it can be from anywhere from 2010-2012 taken by motorsport.com which is just too big a search. there isn't anything I can narrow it down with. my search is futile.

but I have one tiny little thought bugging my mind. how come motorsport images don't have the motorsport.com watermark... so I consult a fellow archivist @vegasgrandprix on the matter.

WE AS A SOCIETY NEED TO ADDRESS WHY MOTORSPORT.COM AND MOTORSPORT IMAGES.COM HAVE THE SAME FONT

finally. finally

I go on motorsport.com

which is actually kind of not super user friendly interface finding their pics if you have excessive intelligence like I do. I go into this knowing if the bahrain 2012 long shot is actually NOT when that picture is from, I'm fucked.

I filter and say a prayer.

and lo and behold.

salvation.

one person's singular tag of 'bahrain 2012 lol' led me down this spiral, where if it wasn't for that bit of information this would be lost forever because finding the version of the pic without the meme text is otherwise near impossible. google reverse search is no help, and f1 drivers simply get photographed way too much. reblogs + tags with context literally are a holy grail. this is what I imagine archaeologists feel like. so if you ever want someone 12 years after you've posted something to go down finding out, tag your posts accordingly (assuming tumblr survives the next decade)

so why did I do it? why did I spend hours of my life on this? cause it's fun. it's like a mystery and it itches at my skin. many times I'm not successful which is why the times I am feels so rewarding because it feels almost like detective work, finding and refinding something, overturning evidence. and I have a brain that just functions Like This.

and now for the fruit of my labour, if you guys still want to see. the picture I spent hours to find the original version of. sitting proudly at the time of posting at 9 notes 😌😌 here's what goes behind actually finding and archiving 2010s retired f1 drivers online. click below!

Sexiest Podcast Character — Eye Bracket — Round 3

Propaganda

Cecil Gershwin Palmer (Welcome to Night Vale):

Purple eye man <3

Hes like, THE eye narrator guy for podcasts imo.

THE tumblr sexyman

Not too short or tall, not fat or too thin. With hair, a nose and eyes. Look, hes hot and sexy because he's an ambiguous gendered male pronoun character who's openly gay imminently. His hotness comes from his lack of description and his silly, whimsical nature. As a "The idea of having sex with my physical body is kinda yuck" ace, I would have sex with him irl if given the chance. He is the ONLY exception for my own minds rule. While that might not be real propaganda or whatever it should have weigh of how hot he is.

John Doe/The Entity (Malevolent):

He is literally the hottest character. It's literally just a hot voice and yellow eyes, the rest is up to your imagination Also funny??? He is so funny please, we love a entity with humor Rip to Arthur but if I would get possessed by John I would do anything he ask no question asked.

De-throned eldritch god who willingly fractured himself because he cared so much about the guy whose body he was originally trying to steal. Literally has control of said guy's eyes, and eventually one of his hands. The inherent homoeroticism of two people sharing a body and struggling to hold on to their humanity and so on.

Sharing a body with someone is already intimate without being a incomprehensible being from another dimension with memory problems

An amnesiac fragment of an Elder God trapped in a dread tome, and now bound to the eyes of a private detective

#mari is sexiest #john archivist is the most eyeful #cecil is the most narratorly #kass is both sexy and narratory #but john doe is the full packidge baaaaby #he may not be the best in a single category but he's an even split across all three #i dont know who nickignik is and at this point im afraid to ask so [they get] Sexy Eyes

[awkardly-yours]

Regarding tmagp 22

First, to get it out of the way: WHAT THE FUCK???? JONATHAN SIMS AND MARTIN BLACKWOOD?????

Secondly, i feel really bad for sam! His two romantic interests are clearly manipulating him, one wants him to drop his obsession "for his own good" while the other encourages it to get what she wants.

Alice got him this job either to get help solving the mysteries (unlikely imo, as from the start she doesn't care at all and knows that not caring is what kept her alive) or to rekindle what they had. My favourite theory is the latter, being stuck in a basement during the night with your ex might help to redevelop romantic interests. She got to be in a position of power over Sam (which she enjoys) by showing him how the oiar works and by being the source of confort or guidance when things get bad (plus they work at night, thus making him tired as his circadian rythm is completely screwed and on very horrifying topics, making him more likely to search for comfort and to make irrational decisions like going back to his ex).

Alice likes being in that position, as we saw with colin, her brother and teddy. She funds her brothers band, she goes to colin's flat to make sure he's alright and she pesters teddy until he accepts to go grab a drink, which (imo) he was reluctant to do. This way of functioning is not healthy, as she seems to think the only way she can get affection is by being a "paternalist / motherly" figure in her friends life. "If i do all of that for them theyll have no choice but to like me and to do what i say"

Its toxic, even if she probably genuinely wants to help, because her "help" is tool to mold her friends in what she wants them to be. For example: she goes to the magnus institute with sam (help) and when he doesnt find what hes looking for she tries really hard to get him to drop his obsession (control).

And his second romantic interest is celia, who is not from his universe and who has a plan that needs Sam's obsession. I stopped liking her when she started to explicitely compete with Alice. I dont remember which episode it was, but Sam invites Celia to go to the theater with him. She starts the interaction clearly not interested (saying "no i dont think i dropped tickets, theyre not mine", trying to gently reject him), then Alice, having overheard the conversation, invites them to go to her brothers concert the same night. After that, Celia seems to completely change her tune and accepts Sam's offer. That way, he doesnt go to the concert (distancing him from alice) and she has the audacity to ghost him.

Let's be cristal clear: both of them were trying to manipulated the poor guy and none were in the right. Alice tries to manipulate him to drop his obsession to get him out of harm's way (and into her her arms WINK WINK). But Celia is manipulating Sam through his feelings, which imo she doesn't reciprocate, to get him to do something that will probably hurt him and help her quest (whatever it might be). She's always pretty distant towards him, except when they start talking about the institute, then her attitude changes and shes pationate and almost flirty. The fond memory Sam has of their first date is due to them talking about work for gods sake! Other than in those occasions, she seems to me pretty cold and sarcastic when Sam is being goofy to make her like him.

So yeah, the poor beholder is stuck between two spiders.

Finally, poor Gwen! The second blorbo of the show after sam. However, i dont think Lena and the oiar are the equivalent of the institute. Sure, they both have a departement reading statements, but the oiar is proactive, sorting them and deploying externals or protocols to clean what groups seem to be too close to a ritual. The institute just reads them for the Beholder and (until gertrude) never did anything to prevent the rituals. I dont think Lena is trying to make Gwen into an "archivist", she just wants her to do her job and manage externals. She doesn't encourage any curiosity, just the processing and administrative work. And Gwen doesnt seem that aligned to the Beholder anyway, she wants to be the best at her job, and her job doesnt want her to be curious.

(Also i love augustus but i miss the voice of Elias :(((( )

[saym0-0]

what do you think the mechs would be avatars of? my first thought was slaughter for the group as a whole bc,, duh. but now that im thinking about it, i think they'd be more eye/end aligned. because their whole thing is stories and the part they clearly deem most important is the end right? theres all the blood and gore in the middle but the important bit is everyone dies at the end

individually though, not as a whole group they're all sorts of stuff i think

ashes would be desolation for sure with all the fire and the likes, and hades makes me think web too? they're the one behind the scenes pulling the strings (granted, usually for their own entertainment but who can blame em really)

toy soldier would be stranger, once again for obvious reasons. im not really sure if theres much crossover on this one really.

jonny i reckon would be eye and slaughter, mans cares for two things and its violent crime and a good story (amen!)

brian is SO lonely coded like?? its in the backstory song man,, also vague end-ness probably, though tbf they probably all have that end cloud by virtue of being the mechanisms. maybe vast too

tim would be slaughter too, he loves a good murder spree but i feel like theres something else and ive just forgotten like half the fears lmao OUGH hunt maybe? tim goes crazy is very hunt coded

ivy is SO immensely eye. she's literally an archivist. she gathers and stores aaallll that information but her emotional connection to it is reset every night. thats so eye!!

nastya is definitely lonely, at least towards the end but probably the whole time (from what little i know of cyberian demons) and maybe dark? that ones 100% vibes i have no explanation

marius has very spiral vibes i think. hes just a silly guy ur honour i think he deserves it. i cant really think of any other one for him tbh

and raph is quite stranger coded i think, idk the detachment from humanity that comes with being a mad scientist just feels very stranger to me? more so than the average mechs detatchment from humanity

i dont know why i made this post but ive been rotating end/eye mechs in my brain for a couple days just because i think the idea of s5 jmart stumbling across a domain thats kind of an accumulation of the various album aettings and music that can be heard from anywhere in the domain and victims living/reliving the parts of the characters is very very cool and i needed to word vomit it somewhere

[pharmakon-ghoul]

MAG200 SPOILERS / AU rambles

I can't sleep so I'm thinking of my dream where Jon was a uni professor & he retained all of his Archivist knowledge prior to getting transported to a new world. So yes he knows everything within the limits of that, but if there's any new discoveries he won't just Know them. He's just some regular guy now who just happens to posses an abnormal amount of knowledge.

Anyway this isn't about that. I was thinking that if he ever were to be in a dangerous situation in this new, mundane life, what if he tried to use his little "Ceaseless Watcher turn your gaze upon this wretched thing" sheme only to realise. Oh yeah. This is normal life again. He loses his wallet in the process maybe but they really did it, him and Martin are just two old men in love living and growing old together.

I dont know what came of the fears though! I don't know if they'd simply be suppressed like in the old world, and if they followed them through. But if I wanna think of angst I'm totally going with that. Jon still being the Ceaseless Watcher's special little guy. Maybe the fears are licking their wounds, maybe it's only a certain amount of time until they resurface.

Idk. I don't even know if any of this makes sense. I'm tired but not really. I'm going to bed. But I do wanna write a fic based off of all of this eventually if I've got the time and if I sculpt this out a little better.

[pinkestpurple]

Show so good i'm threatening to kill myself

1;2

So this is my season 3 of 911 reaction. I tweet this in spanish and then i translate here, if something dosen't make sense, dont worry, i also dont make sense in spanish.

I dont have a mateo live reaction of the first 3 episode because i was to entertaining. 3x01 is a meh episode, but the other two are such good episodes theres a reason they are iconic in the fandom and i knew about them before i saw them. At the end of 3x03 i was like: "ooh, Buddie angst!" and when Eddie walk into Buck's aparment like nothing happen i put the same face that Buck had. Like Eddie loves Buck so much is insane. There is no way they arent gay!

3x04

"My god this is the biggest fire i ever seen" Chimney you are too funny!

Buck being a stickler of the rules?? i never though i see it

This is episode about sibiling?? They are the worst but also the best

??? Excuse me, Chim and Hen where expecting Buck to get jealous bc of lena?? GIME A NO GAY EXPLANATION

Omg, i love chris and eddie. Eddie is such a good dad!

Why is Maddie thinking she is CW Arrow?? Pls go to a therapist

Buckley sibiling making bad decisions is the theme of this episode

3x05 "Rage" is going to be such a chill episode

Buck cararota, how are you sitting there? Even if you get your job back, do you think you are going to work with them?? They will hate you

oh no! if something happens to Athena's family bc of the racist policeman and Athena keeps being a policeofficer I'm going to be so mad

my god, what i am watching, Athena stop defending the police you more than anyone knows that is a very corrupt institution

Ah! no! why they put this trope in this episode? It makes it look like the police anger and Michael's are both wrong? No, Michael is justified!

Okay please tell me that Lena is not a romantic interest, that's Buck as a girl, AND you put rebel girl as one of her songs?? The only way this works if they are eachother beards

KJJJJ the way they edit the song so is not a lesbian song

In the reaction to season 1 i mention a dimension 20 character and this season is Lou Wilson Pinochio from neverafter, that interpretation of Pinochio blow my mind, bc it is such an injustice that this boy does exactly what every one boy does but he is punished for it

Michael is such a good father, this show is making me sad

"You know how much Christopher misses you?" AAAAH Eddie you are a mastermind. How you babytrap Buck with YOUR son!? Insane

Eddie cantandole las cuarenta to Buck in the grocery store, how is two are not married if this is cleary a divorce?

Lena and Buck are the same person, i could love to see their dimanic (spoilers: they dont talk once)

3x06 Baby supertation!! I love the songs of this show

"And theres seven different kind of beaked goods in our kitchen" Bobby and Buck stress bake, they are literally father and son

Hen buying Buck a cake that bleeds when you cut it, she is just a little shit i love her

Maddie please ask for help, even if you are rigth, this is not normal

"I'm cat" is such a millennial "im not like the other girls" costume. I'm talking about Maddie or Sam Riegel, we will never know

Hen comparing herself and denny with bobby and buck, literally father and son

Eddie is that bad haircut something to do with your divorce with Buck or this a bad decision you did by yourself?

They are so cute together

3x07

No, Athena and Maddie going trough some archives and messing them up is so stress full, poor archivist, i hope you know how to get them back in order

ACAB absolutely counts for Athena because what do you mean you are arresting a guy that reforms himself (something that he could have never done in prision) and he is taking care of kids that now dont have a safety net and will end 100% back on the street, and as adults in prision?? This is revenge not justice, this is horrifying, i hate that this show is acting like Athena is in the rigth, fuck copaganda.

3x08

Okay, i have only did figure skating in rollers not ice but can a sequin do that??

Well i belive the lost fingers thing, even with rollers, that is not something fun

??? Excuse me what do you mean you dont have 3 pairs of socks in your skate? are you insane? no one that makes this show has ever skate in their life

Bobby skater?? like figure skater?? KKKJJJJ i love it

ooh, lena pull a the bard lament card, "what is my mothers name?"

Eddie i think you are a bad friend, i am with her, please apologize i like Lena

I spend the last 30 minutes trying to figure out what is the girl playing, is bach, is like the most know piece, i'm so bad at music

If hen lose her job i swear to god

3x09

meteorites? what dosen't happen in LA? is going to be aliens in future seasons?

Is a lie that no one undestands the refence of "it belongs in a museum", how all of them didnt watch indiana jones? They must be doing on propuse to bother Chim

Eddie doing eveything in his power so Chris grows up to be better than him? im going to cry, he is such a good dad

My god, Athena i hate you, dont you see that your kid is a teenager, that sees you as a figure to rebel against, bc she is a teenager, plus you are a cop, of course she sees you as her enemy, SHE IS A TEENAGER

I love every time they change Hen glasses and earings bc is such a cool way to express individuality when most of the show all of them wear uniforms

This is the buddie kitchen scene??

I scream KISS HIM to my monitor like 3 times now

Buck you should be offer him to fuck insted of fight

"You want to go for the tittle" how is the next scene NOT them fucking???

Like i KNOW they are still not cannon and even knowing it I got excited

This is evil

Radiation? SOMETHING MORE WANTS TO HAPPEN IN LOS ANGELES

Poor bobby, he is like a wet cat of a man

Desmond, Constatine ex, i know you! You go in the list with Finn's Mom, Karofsky of people i recognize

Hen didnt go to work for a few days and everything happend. Really the you didnt went to school and Messi show up

3x10

Buck telling the kids Santa is not real feels so out of character

Eddie's face when he sees Buck with Chris and Denny, please impregnate him

Buck knowing random shit like how marrie currie die, your adhd is showing

Maddie finally getting up from the ice after a year, i love her

noo, dont you care to kill Michael show!

Buck being a sunshine with everyone, jsjsjs, you still feel guilty for the lawsuit?

I knew it, you want to kill Michael, dont do it, he is one of the best dads of the show, this is homofobia

3x11

Eddie and Buck trying to catch a guy hanging from a airplane with spirit of the sky in the backgroung and you want to tell me this show is not a comedy??

Chim you could be an amazing dad, and you are such a good role model, your brother is going to be fine

I dont know what instrument hen said she play, but is traslates to "faggot" in spanish jsjsjsj

Chim:

Omg, i love the relationship of May and Michael, please dont kill him

I wanted to Michael find love but noo, lets just give him CANCER

"I'm not really a guest" we Buck, we now you two sleep in the same bed

3x12

This is 100% a set up that go wrong, Maddie knows something that Buck dosen't

I can't believe that i am saying this to Eddie and not Buck, but please Eddie dont fuck your son's teacher, is a bad idea

Calloway.. i'm still calling you Desmond, sorry

Eddie, this teacher has so many kids all with differents needs, give her a break!

I undestand Buck a yapper with adhd but him just telling everyone Eddie's problems? kind of weird

Noooo, why those this show hate gay man??

I undestand, that they put the scene of the two neighbors like a "valentine's day is for all kind of love" kind of thing so people like me dosen't get their hopes up when they show to the buddie scene but c'mon, why is buck there, could be a scene with carla and eddie but noo

3x13

Show i am having breakfast why are you showing me a woman getting her arm chop by a bowling machine

If they kill Michael is episode i'm going to stop watching this show

Please Michael, i need you to take better care of yourself

"I can say it for the both of us" OMG I LOVE THEM, Chim and Maddie are THE PERFECT COUPLE, i can't

Michael is always the one to put the other cheek, let him be angry, i love that he is compation as a guy but makes sense for him to be angry!

MICHAEL TELLING BOBBY TO KEEP HIM ALIVE, I AM CRYING SO HARD, WHAT A STUPID SHOW

Maddie is very smart, i love that for her, at the same time, what the fuck is going on??

3x14

Chimney overthinking everything instead of calling someone is so me

Are they trying to steal a museum?

I love the chaos of this ep

"She has everything she needs" Buck i could kick you

I don't love how they tell everything at the end but is a good episode

3x15

I'm finally in Eddie beggings!!

Of course Eddie story beings when Chris is born 😭

"¿Por que no me avisaste?" EDDIE DIAZ TALKING IN SPANISH, i love it

Buck loves Chris so much, everytime he goes to the station Buck glues to the kid, never beating the other dad allegations

Oh yes, a story for four graders: how i survive the war

I could not be a firefighter, i couldn't go into the ground for any kid that reminds me of my son

God Eddie was only i little older than me, he should be at the club

I undestand Eddies traumas but Sharon should have castrated him

BUCKS REACTION, I AM GOING KILL MYSELF

Eddie defending Sharon to his parents! I didn't say anything

"He belongs with us" oh hell no! You are not Chris parents, don't you fucking dare! You pieces of shit

"Don't drag him down" pero que hijos de re mil puta!!!

Of course the first person he thinks about when he is dying is Buck

God how much i love Chris and Eddie, their relationship reminds me of how someone (don't remember who) talks about a child being their parents heart, and thats so true Christopher is Eddie's heart. And thats why is weird when someone eliminates Chris in fanfics like that's an integral part of Eddie

3x16

"You wanna do a rope rescue? Of course you do!" Kjjj Eddie don't say it like you didn't cut your own rope last episode and almost die, my brother in christ you two are a disaster

"Our best boys" 😭😭

Buck with the old firefigther thinking he wants a family, if this season Eddie puts him in his will i wll punch my computer bc it means that Buck HAS everything he wants but he dosent realize yet

I'm going to chew cement

Why is Buck talking like he dosen't live with Eddie and Bobby is his old man?? Like babe that's your family

Jeff Blim??

IT IS Jeff Blim

What is this a crossover episode?

Nooo, Jeff Blim don't die

They save Jeff Blim :)

"You are never going to be left behind" "You promise?" I will kill myself

3x17

Why the first plot of this episode, literally Manuelita?

If i invite you, my wife, Chim is going to invite his parther, his parther is going to invite her brother, and her brother is going to invite his... bestie? Okay...

Michael guilty tripping May to do what he wants, classic dad

I know Athena is going to be fine because 911 is never letting go of Angela Bassett, at this point i don't know why Angela Bassett didn't let 911 go

Chim and Karen's friendship is something i didn't know i need it

I love the friendship between Michael and Bobby!!!! They are what homophobes want Buddie to be

Abby?? Omg Abby, Hi!!

Welcome back baby!! I was a little suspicious about Buck mention you again

3x18

I love Abby, I'm so happy she is back

WELL, Abby telling someone Buck stop waiting for her and cutting to Eddie and Buck talking about Chris, C'MON, HOW I TAKE THIS OTHER THAN EDDIE BEING THE NEW LOVE IN BUCK'S LIFE? LOOK AT ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU!

Nooo, Chim being sad about Hen leaving him, nnooo

Athena being such a mother and not resting for a second

EDIES FACES WHEN HE MEETS ABBY

Omg bobby how are you still climbing? You are fifty something please

"I'm not Athena" Bobby slap him

Situación tenza como pelo de chancho

YES!! THEY GIVE MICHAEL AN HOT DOCTOR YES! I LOVE THIS SHOW

Buck goofing around with Eddie, Maddie and Chris i love this family

Yes! Maddie pregnant! I can't wait to meet Jee!!

Oh no, what do you mean next season is the 2020 pandemic season, noooooo

I still don't want to watch season 4 even when twitter says is a good season.

Anyways here are my reactions to season 1 and season 2

[knowthevoidisscreamingmad]

Enjoyed ep 11 today although I got more of a mild sense of dread than being tense/ jumpy the whole time than usual with magnus

Some key points I noticed

Ink5oul is definitely back .Kinda reminds me of Jared Hopworth with the body stuff .Could they maybe not be as malevolent as they seemed ??

I think I ship Dyehard/Dyhard now ( I was previously undecided on ships except for knowing I didn't like Sam x Celia but that Mocha scene) Also it has a cool ship name

I have been looking out for static with lying but I didn't really hear much static personaly.

Who is jack? I've heard speculation about Jack Barnabus ( Agnes coffee shop guy) and I know I heard Jonny say in the season 5 Qand A that if he could redo magnus he would explore Agnes more.

WHATS CELIAS DEAL? Why is she sleeping on grass/ teleporting I DONT TRUST HER

Alice Is being FOLLOWED defiantly sounds linked to the eye to me .Could possibly be ERROR ? I don't think Alice will die first though.

Today's statement giver sounds like the vast or lonley on the surface with all the ocean stuff but I defiantly think it's something more ocean specific as vast statement givers usually talk about wide expanses or endlessness and stuff which this gut didn't and he didn't seem particularly withdrawn.I reckon the main guy was defiantly an avatar

Episode title : MARKED !!!This doesn't seem to link super well with the statement which makes me think it's one of the OIAR staff . Maybe Gwen after the whole Mr Bonzo thing but I also think it could be Alice . I do trust Alice and Gwen though.I think Alice knows stuff but is trying to help people out I think Gwen doesn't know as much as she thinks and Celia knows too much but refuses to say ( I DONT TRUST CELIA) .I kinda trust Lena because her being Evil mastermind boss would be too similar to Elias.

WHO'S NAME DID BONZO GET ??!!Lena said pay attention to the case files so could it be Ink5oul ? I also think it could be an OIAR employee : could be Alice as she was followed but I don't think she'll be killed off yet .Could be Sam ( fake out protaganist?) Personally I'm hoping it's CELIA but I'll ha e to wait and see.

Not especially relevant to this episode but Gerry sounded WAY too happy when he was introduced . I reckon Gertrude is drugging him ( or using some supernatural thing to control him)

Also I re listened to MAG 111 and noticed Gerry mentioning Gertrude hiding the key to her storage locker( where explosives were) in the institute could this be the key Sam and Alice found???

The statement this ep seems like an obvious metaphor for Jon as the guy ( can't remember his name G something but not Gerrad, maybe Gordon) wanted desperately to know what was in the sea so could link to Jon's Archivist stuff .Is it to obvious though??Not convinced it is JonMartin in the computer but I really hope it is as Jon/Chesters statements seem to be all about hunting down too much knowledge / becoming a monster and all Martin/Noris's statements seem to be about love and loss.Could be some fragmented web stuff though.

Thats about it.I think my anti celia bias is starting to show throughout this, oh well

[crypticemerald]

I've got nothing to post right now so have my oc, hes part of a subdivision of smaller iterators (in the sense of robot-like creatures) able to think of themselves (but are mobile) aka Operators :D

more rambling about Operators below :)

Operators serve as a way to persue small tasks between closeby groups, created during gen 2 of Iterators they serve as a ''fix it all'' having a set manual encoded in them which provides them with the necessary tools to fend for themselves and geolocate closeby structures which provide energy.

Being off the strings for them it means that they function off few neurons which they carry inside their body (which keeps them alive and stores some necessary stuff + recently given commands + records important events during their travels from one facility to the other). They recharge via a chargeble battery installed in their system by connecting it to anything remotely mechanical, such as shelters, karma gates (which they are able to access unless theyre karmically imbalanced or arent given permission to), communication stations/arrays and so on.

They do not have a great memory, they work on a limited one when off-field and when they reach the closest iterator they will connect to their structure, offering a scan of their can and offering to solve any issues they are able to fix within it, but most important they will empty their memory (think of outside storage) in order to recieve a new command/order/task. Their main purpose is to serve under the rules of the ancients and help with upkeeping iterator groups local to them or following their orders which may change from anything such as pearl collection, transferring data, rearranging faulty memory conflux structures, eliminate any threatening bodies to their host iterator can and so on!

[cough, if they find mobile rot even if their host iterator tells them not to kill it they will go on the violent route to eliminate the rot or mold]

Greatly respectful of ancients and senior iterators they will greatly follow orders given by seniors and other iterators, doing small tasks for them and serving low range messenger/support friend if you will. They are shorter than most iterators (with my guy being shorter than five pebbles) but more resistant and resilient than the mid iterator puppet plus a lot stronger!

Usually theres anywhere between none to five in groups, depending on their size and how old they are.

IDK they have some sort of weapon which they probably either carry around or its part of their design, mine has claws.

Their main rules are:

-follow iterator wishes

-ensue their safety

-dont mess with the enviroment (less prone to violence towards organic creatures)

ABOUT MY OC TE HEE

Ordinary Maintenances is under Chronicler of Methologies (an archivist iterator which belongs to @nemofil and they work under pearl collection duty most of the time, why most of the time?

Scavengers think of Ordinary Maintenance as a very very shiny object, so they trade him around until he menages to actually get up and leave their premises which is sadly not that successful. Seeing as Chronicler is quite a pacifist and feel bad about Scavenger he will often do nothing (not as he can do it) about it, leaving often time OM being traded around for shiny stuff.

Im not sure how i wanna kill them off but oh well, hes quite the resistant one, surviving through an iterator attacking them, being a chewtoy sometimes on sundays, and witnessing some pretty violent scav conflicts hes quite the silliest :)

stay in pieces chronicler, may you be loved by him as yk bros do (/j)

[akaikali]

TMAGP EP 23 REACTION (SPOILERS)

More Sam and Lena interactions????

This response department thing is genuinely bothering me. Everyone seems so convinced that it doesn't exist which means it probably DOES exist and is not a good thing. Sam you REALLY shouldn't be filling out those forms, methinks...

Lena trying push him away from the paperwork is suspicious, it actually makes me more certain that he's basically inviting in some monster since it's clear that Lena does want to keep her employees alive and mostly unharmed.

"I see" (She doesn't) FUCKING SENDING

yall I saw "alnewman" and went ALEX NEWMAN??? as if Alex's name isn't Alex Newall I'm an idiot

Piece? Better me? This is reminding me of uhhh ep 2 or 3? The lady that used herself as a canvas? For a moment I thought they meant "piece" like an art piece and I was wondering if it might be an Ink5oul case but nope.

So I'm thinking this probably a person going down the route to becoming a...External? Avatar? Whatever Ink5oul, Mr. Bonzo, and uhhh the old lady what's her fucking name. Her. Oh and the dice guy.

Aquarium?? Ooo I love aquariums!!

Chester saying "smiley face" took me out for a couple of seconds lmfao

Ngl this reminds me of those old reddit forums where people would talk about the doing certain rituals and stuff. Or like this reminds me of the Kisaragi Station story. It's got the same vibe of like watching a horror story unfold through a forum.

THE SCALPEL????? YEAH OKAY HOLY SHIT THIS REMINDS ME A LOT OF THE WOMAN FROM EP 2.

Jesus christ this is. Kind of freaky in the sense that it's like a strange birth situation? They keep talking like its a birth. Obviously, it's not an actual pregnancy bit they are talking about it like it's a birth.

Oh my God. That...That's actually strangely pretty imagery? Coral bursting through skin? I mean, I hate things under my flesh but seeing corals on someone's skin is...Not a horrible image.

I'm trying to understand who the "her" is specifically.

OH HOLY SHIT SHES BIRTHING A DOPPELGANGER OH MY GOD. Is this supposed to like. Be hint towards how Celia might have happened? Because in the other doppelganger episode, Celia says "not quite the same" when the guy killed his doppelganger. Maybe this one is more like what actually happened to Celia??

Oh no doppelganger went wrong :(((

NOOOOOO OUCH. But also the "separately" hurts because it reminds me of Martin saying they probably wouldn't have ended up together in any other universe without their trauma. But also hold on-Jon died in a CYCLING incident???

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO MUCH CONFIRMATION. BASIRA????

HELEN?????

Oh no Gwen :((( GWEN NO BABYYYY

Wait shut up. SHUT UP. ARE WE GETTING DYHARD. HOLY SHIT DYHARD GUYS ITS DYHARD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

Guys I can't believe it SHES TELLING ALICE THINGS PLEASE ALICE DO NOT FUCK THIS UP PLEASE

EYES???? GUYS THIS IS DEFINITELY AN OLD ARCHIVIST OF SOME SORT I DONT THINK ITS OUR BOY JON BUT MAYBE. MAYBE ONE OF THE OTHER ARCHIVIST CREATURES

Oh Jesus. I think Alice has encountered the tapes before. Like even before the drowned woman.

I think that it's going to end up being samcelia and dyhard doing their on research but samcelia's research is gonna put Sam in danger. Alice is probably gonna try and protect Sam but he's now going to stand off against her and basically assume everything she's saying is bc she's jealous.

(Also if Sam pulls out the "just a jealous ex" when Alice HASNT snapped at him and is genuinely concerned for him, I'm gonna kick his ass. I'm pretty sure he will seeing as he's a petty bitch (and I love that for him))

BUT GUYS HOLY SHIT DYHARD IS DYHARDING.
