[flipwizardstarlight]

Okay i dont write enough sam and tucker and jazz so im doing it. Also it got very long so im putting it under a cut. Smoking ment and like, vague refrences to anti-meta bigotry. I dont think it needs any other warnings? But if someone sees something i missed let me know.

Sam doesn't watch the news anymore. She knows she should, that anything could be a clue and national news is likely to be the easiest place for Danny to get their attention, but she can't do it anymore. It's all about the heroes of the world now. Justice League this, Metahumans that, heartwarming reunions and engineering geniuses and congress and judges and shootings and laws and- It's just noise. All of it is just noise. Tucker has Technus monitoring all of it anyway. She doesn't understand how Vlad and the Fentons have disappeared so thuroughly. It has been a year since they took Danny and it doesn't matter where she, Tuck, and Jazz look, they can't find him.

Ember is out touring, trying to lure the Fentons into the open by posing as a metahuman musical artist, since they know she is a ghost. Jonny, Kitty, and Shadow are helping Val and Paulina hold the line in Amity, not that there is much to hold anymore. Last time they talked, the environment had finally readjusted to the lower ectoplasm levels after the portal was shut down and the last couple people liminal enough to ping on the GIW radars are scheduled to move out of the US entirely in the next month. Once they move, Val and Paulina will have two weeks left until they can move into their dorm room at a Southern California University.

Without the Fentons, the GIW have basically run themselves into the ground, so once everything they could really do harm to is gone from Amity, they are likely to collapse the rest of the way.

Wulf is the go-between for the three groups at the moment. If they find Danny-either by virtue of him going home for help, Ember finding the Fentons, or the three of them getting lucky-then Wulf can be summoned and will get him to Frostbite and Clockwork as soon as possible.

It has been a year.

Sam takes a deep drag of her morning cigarette as she stares up at the slowling lightening sky. They are somewhere near Gateway City, California, in some run down motel about an hour out from the city that didn't ask too many questions when three clearly homeless teenagers came rolling in at two am and asked for their cheapest room. The clerk had just shrugged and told them not to get drugs in the carpet.

Sam huffs in amusement as she thinks about the woman's remark and taps her cigarette on the edge of the balcony rail before taking another drag.

She picked up smoking shortly before Danny was taken, about a week after she got killed. It isn't like the chemicals can hurt her anymore, and the nicotine helps keep her tremors at bay. It makes her feel more alive, more solid.

Jazz doesn't like that she does it, but that's a losing battle that she doesn't fight anymore. As long as Sam doesn't smoke in the car, she can do whatever she pleases.

They are running out of time. Sam can feel it in her bones. They don't have much time left to Find Danny before something goes horribly wrong.

They have one more place to check before they reach out to the Justice League for help.

Sam closes her eyes as she takes another drag.

She doesn't want to go to them. She would almost rather End herself before asking those stuck up, sanctimonious assholes for any help, but they are out of options. There is a Dalvco office in Gateway that they are going to raid for clues today, and if they can't find anything there, the biggest Bank they can find is their next stop.

With Sam's plants, Jazz's mild mind control, and Tucker's Technopathy, the three if them will be able to get Wonder Woman's attention quickly with minimal collateral. If they can get her to trap one of them with the lasso, they can get her to take them seriously about how much danger Danny is in.

Sam takes the last drag of her cig before dropping the filter into the tray and breathing out slowly.

Twelve hours. In twelve hours, they will either know where to look next or have some help.

She doesn't startle at the sound of the hotel door slamming open. She felt Tucker's quick movements as he stood from his bed so she knew the slam was coming. Her eyebrow twitches anyway and she is having a hard time telling why.

"The Fentons are on the Daily Planet," he says.

Sam goes still, not even breathing as she waits for him to elaborate. She doesn't turn to look at him, scared of what she will see in his face if she does.

Tucker swallows, then says, "Lead Dalvco Scientists under investigation for the dissappearance of seventeen year old son," he must be reading the headline. Sam keeps waiting, feels like if she moves a centimeter for any reason she might just fall apart. "Doctors Jack and Madeline Fenton, lead scientists and inventors at Dalvco's Gotham branch have been placed under house arrest on suspicions of human experimentation, Metahuman Rights Acts Violations, and suspected abuse of their seventeen year old son, Danny Fenton, as of two days ago."

He takes a deep breath before he continues and Sam tries desperately to hope that Danny is okay. "Danny was well known among Gotham's medical professionals and engineers as a soft-spoken, intelligent young man with a kind heart despite the hardships his chronic health condition had put him through. He was never seen more the ten feet from one of his parents or Vlad Masters-CEO of Dalvco and close friend to the Doctors Fenton-until two days ago. He made his first ever appearance at a Gotham Gala, as sick as anyone has ever seen him, but has not been seen since shortly before the event was interrupted by one of the local villians. The initial coverage of the event listed him as a likely kidnapping victim, as the local heroes were unable to apprehend at least two of the hired muscle. It was theorized that the boy was going to be held for ransom so the two could keep out of the justice system. At noon three days ago, the two missing criminals were found and a new avenue of investigation was opened when the Officer sent to talk to the Fentons found evidence of abuse in the Fenton home. While the search seems to be ongoing, a leaked copy of the charges the Fentons and Masters might be facing includes Child Abuse, Conspiracy to Murder, Unauthorized Practice of Medicine, Unethical Human Experimentation, and Murder of a Child. It is unclear if the final charge is going to be prosecuted as First, Second, or Third Degree, and Manslaughter is also listed as a possibility. No further information has been released on the whereabouts or status of Danny."

The railing of the balcony crunches under Sam's hands as she stares, unseeing, into the sunrise.

"The article goes on to say a Justice Leage Spokesperson has come forward to confirm that they are involved," Tucker says, and like that Sam slams back into herself.

She spins inhumanly fast, well aware that her eyes are glowing and her hair is starting to float and catch fire. She doesn't care. "We have to find Wonder Woman," she says, her voice a quiet kind of deadly. "If they have him-"

"Murder, Sam," Tucker says desperately, voice equally quiet and devastated. "Technus already went through every existing article at the Gotham Gazette and none of them talk about him in the present tense, none of them confirm his status, and all of the most recent agree that the murder charges aren't going anywhere."

Sam shakes her head, feels her hair flare brighter. She won't believe it until they see the body. She won't even let herself think it. She hasn't lost him. Not yet. She can't.

There are a three Metas holding a building of civilians hostage in downtown Gateway City who refuse to speak to anyone except Wonder Woman. There aren't any confirmed casualties yet, and the only injuries are to the security personnel that attempted to stop the three and the few cops that were unlucky enough to approach before the preimiter was secured by the one able to control plants.

As Diana approaches, she is unsurprised to see the agitation and anger on the lead officer. He has always been more concerned with the lives of his junior officers then those of civilians or the criminals that endanger both groups. It is likely he would prefer to be able to shoot the three Metas and be done with it.

Diana dismisses every word out of his mouth before he even opens it. She is well aware he thinks she is a freak, she is uninterested in hearing what he has to say about the people who forced him to call for her.

Instead, she focuses on the woman standing in front of the door to the building. She is almost too young to be considered a woman, surely no older then 19. Her black hair is shaved on one side while the rest is cut in rough layers and shines a deep purple where the sun hits it. Her skin is ashen, an impression not at all helped by the dramatic, dark makeup on her face. She is dressed for combat; black long sleeve shirt that fits snug to her body but doesn't appear to restrict, fingerless gloves, a thick belt with multiple pouches attached that hold up black cargo pants that are loose enough to allow movement but not so loose as to get caught on things, heavy combat boots that appear to be steel toe. She holds herself in much the same way Cassie does, a fact which makes Diana frown slightly.

Seemingly sprouting from under the girl's feet is several dark green vines. They stay small and low to the ground for a foot on either side of her before they seem to multiply and grow and split until they circle the building, covering the windows of the first three floors completely. There are at least four cops caught in the vines, all of them unconcious and thoroughly restrained, but all of them still breathing. Diana notes a small tremor in the girl's hands and arms that does not translate to the plants and spares half a second to wonder what the tremor could mean.

The girl doesn't look nervous. Diana can't quite pinpoint what emotion the girl is displaying, but it isn't nervousness. Her makeup is perfect even though her eyes are bloodshot and her nose red, like she has been crying.

Diana looks back at the still talking cop next to her and says, "if I require your assistance, I will ask," before stepping forward.

The girl's eyes snap towards her when she gets within thirty feet and her expression cracks down the middle with a kind of desperate hope that makes Diana's chest hurt. She was right, the girl isn't nervous.

She is breaking apart at the seams with desperation.

Diana speeds her steps, holds her hands out palms up to indicate she isn't approaching with agression, softens her body language and wills a concerned expression onto her face. "Well met," she says once she is close enough. "I have been told you were asking to speak with me. Would you be willing to let the civilians in the building go now that you have my attention?"

The girl takes a breath and Diana refuses to allow herself to react to the way the girl's chest doesn't move with it. She has seen that kind of false breathing once before, when she visited the underworld breifly and the shades of the palace pretended to do so to make her more comfortable.

"Not until you promise to hear us out without arresting us," she says, and Diana is struck again with how young this girl is.

"Of course," Diana says. "So long as no one is hurt further I can promise that I will hear you out."

The girl shifts nervously and Diana does her best to project her honesty and concern only.

"Swear it on Styx," she says suddenly. "Swear that you will hear myself and my siblings out without hurting us or turning us over to the pigs, and that you will answer our questions with honesty and to the best of your ability."

Diana tilts her head to the side slightly as she thinks over the girl's demand. She is unlikely to want to harm any of the siblings at all, so that is not a hardship to swear. They have been remarkably non-violent except in self defense so far, and the only crime they appear to be committing is public distrubance, which is not something she wants to send metahumans to jail for. The desperation in her tells Diana that this was done as a last resort, and the insistance on beaing heard points towards this being a plea for help.

Diana nods to herself and says, "I swear on Lady Styx's waters that, should you release your captives with no further harm to them or anyone else in the vicinity as well as come peaceably with myself to a more private location, I will not allow harm to come to you or yours while we discuss, will not allow you or yours to be taken in by law enforcement for what has transpired here today, and will answer your questions as honestly as I can without endangering myself or others for the duration of our conversation today."

The girl's shoulders slump slightly with what can only be relief as her eyes begin to glow neon purple and the vines around the building grow smaller and retreat, leaving the architecture unharmed. The trapped officers are lowered gently to the ground, and though they all stay unconcious, they are no more harmed then they were when she arrived.

Behind the girl, the doors to the building open and the other two metas step outside. A black boy with a sharp chin and large nose stands to the girl's right. His hair is done in long braids and pulled up into a low, messy bun. He wears a similar outfit to the girl, though his has more color to it. His pants are an olive green and tucked into brown workboots, and his long sleeve shirt is a golden yellow. While the girl does not carry any visable weapons, the boy has an intricately decorated sheath for a long, curved blade that hangs on his left hip. The handle for the weapon is equally ornate and seems to glow with power. She feels like she recognizes the handle, but does not allow herself to linger long enough on him to wonder. Instead, she looks on the redhead who stepped out to the girl's right.

She is older then the other two, and something about her face feels familiar. She carries herself the same way the first girl does; with the same grace and poise that young warriors on Themyscira do. It is obvious to her that they were not trained since early childhood like many if the natives of Thymescira, but she can see where they have been trained in the same ways anyway.

The older girl has her red hair cropped short, the sides and back shaved with the top barely any longer. Her clothing differs from the other two in that she wears tight jeans that are ripped at the knees from wear, practical black tennis shoes, and a red flannel over a black tank top. She has a holster strapped to each thigh, the handguns in each one reek of magic. There are at least two knives on her as well, though Diana can't see them to tell if they are magical too.

She looks tired.

All three of them look tired, really, but the oldest has a heavy droop to her shoulders and a weariness in her face that speaks of more sorrow then someone her age should have to carry.

"There is a safe house a few blocks away that the league maintains for various reasons," Diana says. All three children-because, truely, these are kids in front of her-watch her intently as though determining if she is worthy of theur trust. She does her best to project nothing but concern and truthfulness. "Once the police have secured the building and confirmed no one is hurt, I will escort you three there so we may talk privately. Would you mind waiting at the corner of the building?"

They younger two look to the third as she seems to stare right into Diana's very soul. She stands tall under the scrutiny. She has nothing to hide.

The girl nods, after a moment, and the one who spoke to Diana first says, "we will wait."

Diana smiles encouragingly at them and turns her back, hoping against hope that her show of faith will set them more at ease.

"Would anyone like something to drink? Some tea perhaps?" Wonder Woman asks from the open kitchen of the small apartment she led the three of them to. Jazz glances to the side at Tucker and Sam, lets them know through aura that she trusts the woman not to do anything to their drinks.

"Chamomile," Tucker says quietly. Jazz wonders if Diana has realized that she knows her name yet or not.

"Just some water is fine," Sam says.

Jazz stays silent. She fears that if she tries to speak, the sobs she has been holding in since she saw the article will finally burst loose. That, or all that will come out will be the Language of the Ancients. She hasn't had a nonverbal episode in years, not since her core developed enough to use ghost speech. She just loses the ability to speak a living language.

She sends Sam her own request for water so she can let the hero in front of them know.

"And water for Koppitz, also," Sam says. Jazz sends the mental equivalent of a grimmace at Sam for using code names, but doesn't reprimand or correct her. For as much as she knows Diana is trustworthy, she doesn't know if the League is. They will know their names soon, if they don't already, Jazz isn't going to hold Sam's well earned caution against her.

"Koppitz?" Diana asks as she pulls two sealed water bottles from the fridge while waiting for the water in the kettle to boil. "Please, sit," she sets the bottles down in front of the stools at the island that separates the living room from the kitchen. Tucker glances at Jazz for confirmation of safety again and she cringes internally. She is so tired of being the adult, of being the decision maker, of having to lead.

She wonders if this is how Danny felt before... Before.

Jazz encourages Tucker to sit by taking the middle stool. The other flank her automatically and she draws strength from their proximity, takes a drink of her water, and then asks Sam to do the talking. Her throat is still too tight for english and she knows for a fact that Tucker's will be too.

"You can call me Nightshade, she is Koppitz, and he is Pharaoh," Sam says. Her voice is flat and smooth, and Jazz pokes her aura to ask if she has noticed it yet. Sam sends back awareness and a request for patience that makes Jazz wince. Sam isn't doing well. None of them are, but at least Jazz is still mostly human and doesn't have to think about the things a flesh body needs like Sam does. The more tired she gets, the less human she is able to act. It seems her heart and lungs have long since stopped for the day.

Diana nods to the three of them in turn and doesn't offer her civilian name. She doesn't comment on the lack of essential functions from Sam either.

Jazz likes her. Despite every instinct in her body screaming at her not to, Jazz decides to trust her.

And just like that, her throat loosens. "We have been looking for our brother for a year," Jazz's voice is soft and it creaks gently where she hasn't used it yet today. "My genetic donors took him and ran when they found out he was a metahuman, dissappeared completely and cut me off because I told them they were wrong about there being something to cure." Her eyes flash at the thought of the last time she spoke to them. They do it every time, the rage and fear just as strong now as it was then. "We finally got word of them through the Daily Planet article about-" her throat closes again. She isn't sure how to put this in words and clearly her body and brain agree that it isn't something to be spoken. A growl of frustration wchoes from her core as she fights back tears of anger. She can't even ask the important question. How is she suppossed to be of help to him if she can't even ask a fucking question.

"The Doctors Fenton," Sam takes back over. "We have been looking for them for a year because Danny-"

"Isn't their son," Tucker says firmly. The first words he has spoken since they loaded the car this morning. "He shares their genetics, technically, but he hasn't called them parents in years."

Diana's face is a mask of blankness that would have been more then enough to cover her emotions if Jazz wasn't a telepath.

Diana is angry. She is sad, horrified, angry, relieved, and remorseful. She is heartbroken.

Jazz ignores every last one of the emotions swirling in her mind to focus on the truth of the words that come out of her mouth next.

"I can't tell you much," she says, and Jazz has to physically grab Sam's arm before she can reflexively use her plants to grab the woman in front of them.

"We don't need much," Jazz forces herself to say. "Just. Tell us he is alive. Please-" her voice breaks, fails her again, and the grip she has on Sam isn't holding the other girl back anymore. Sam's cool arm beneath her hands is all that is keep Jazz from falling apart.

"Danny is alive," Diana says gently. "He is alive and far away from Jack and Madeline Fenton. I do not know where, but I can promise he is safe for the time being."

Jazz takes a great, shuddering breath in. Her chest aches all the sudden. The room is tilting around her and the world feels like it is ending, but she doesn't care. Danny is okay. Danny is safe. Danny is safe.

Someone is sobbing, loud, heart-rending sounds that only barely sound human. The earth is shaking and Jazz is falling apart against the cold, hardwood floor. She doesn't remember how she ended up on the floor. Tucker is next to her, face pressed to the dip where shoulder meets neck and she can feel him shaking with his own wailing.

Sam is like stone under the hand not holding Tucker close. Unyielding, unmoving, cold. She is the immovable object to the unstoppable force of Jazz and Tucker's emotions. The shutdown to match their meltdowns.

Jazz realizes she is the one making those awful keening noises and it does nothing to stop them.

Danny is okay.

In the upper atmo somewhere, Danny, Jason, Kori, and Roy are gathering the last of the shit for danny to summon wulf so he can portal danny and jay to the far frozen. Wonder woman spends the next hour consoling these three kids before getting them set up in the guest room at the safe house and then calling batman like "how opposed to meeting up with his siblings do you think danny would be? Could we maybe get the four of them together? Cause i just watched his siblings have the mother of all breakdowns upon finding out he is safe. I think they plan on driving to gotham to try and find him."

She is like, ten minutes too late to catch Jason's check in before they do the summoning. About twenty minutes later wulf shows up and brings the three through a portal so they can see danny.

Dp x Dc Bad parents with a twist.

The Fentons find out about Danny being Phantom. Either from Vlad or just randomly. They take it badly. They think Phantom is possessing him, but they think they can "save" him. Unfortunately, the GIW think otherwise and want to destroy their son. So what do they do? They erase all signs of their existence in Amity and wiping every article and study they ever had on ghost. Then they packed up and moved to Gotham in the middle of the night. Cutting Danny off from his friends and Jazz (due to her being at college and disagreeing with them). Vlad and the Fentons become business partners. Publicly, the three work together making and marketing inventions. while privately trying to 'fix' Danny on the side.

Danny has to wear an upgraded specter deflector, which is a thin metal bracelet.

Having half of himself offline for a long period of time has been causing his physical health to decline. That and the experiments his parents have been performing on him. No full-blown vivisection. He also gets anesthesia because they believe the Danny can still feel.

It wasn't long for the people of Gotham to start to talk about Vlad Co's new business partners and their sickly son. It wasn't long after for Bruce Wayne to gain some interest as well.

The first time Bruce met the Fentons was at a gala with Masters introducing them. Jack, Maddie, and Their son. He was also able to observe that he looked more sickly in person. With deep eye bags, pale skin, and how thin he was. It made Bruce's heart ache thinking what the boy about Tim's age had been having to endure.

The conversation contuied. Danny nervously fidgeting, only giving curt responses. Mr Fenton laughed, joking about how Danny didn't like fancy events. He excused Danny, telling him to grab something to eat. Danny nodded and rushed away, grabbing food and settling down in a nestled in a far back conner.

Bruce continued talking to the enthusiastic pair, talking glances at the boy occasionally. He felt some of his tension relax when spotting Tim taking a seat near Danny.

After the gala Tim and Bruce got together and compared notes. They both came to one conclusion.

They needed to find out more.

[p1nkwitch]

Hi, I really like you writing. Could I get 51. for some ship with Jon? (preferably jongerry, but if you don't ship it jonmartin is fine too. also feel free to make is as soft as you want!)

Oh no no, I love JonGerry i actually like it more than Jmart. The potential was there so here!! Have some fluffy and fun bbys enjoying hanging out.

51- Public kiss JonGerry

Au where they work in a normal job

Jon is nervous, the institute is having a party and Tim invited him to hang out with everyone and he was already panicking. He is their boss, but he had been so insistent and when he mentioned that they haven't been able to just spend time in a group since his promotion…

Made him cave in feeling guilty.

Still he was very worried that he might make the wrong impression, Gerry who was cuddling Melon Princess looked at him amused from the couch.

“What?” He is snippy which is not fair, still he knows him enough to just snort an answer back.

“Cmon Jon, you said Tim is your friend. I'm sure it won't go badly” He doesn't understand, he doesn't.

“Yes, but that was before, now i'm his boss and- and i know i didn't deserve it, but i wanted that promotion and maybe they don't-” A cat is put in front of his face.

“Hi dad, mew, i think you are being paranoiiid, pet me and it will calm you down!” The complete dry tone makes him choke a laugh and pick up Melon from him.

“Thanks” He shrugs and kisses his cheek.

“How about this, I tag along, if anything they will be more focused on me that in you?” Usually he would refuse him, but he deflates and agrees, anything to keep him more calm will do.

“Please..” Gerry smiles at him and Jon feels his cheeks burn, he is so lucky to have met him, and to be the recipient of said smile. Gerry was far more… subdued before, but now he is far more open and he is happy to think he helped and likewise he is helping him too to not be so closed off.

“Of course, I will change, I'm sure they will be far more focused on my hair, apparently everyone is!!!” Jon snorts and sits to wait for him.

“Maybe if you let me help dye it-”

“Oh fuck off Sims-!!” He grins.

They all stare. Sasha, Tim and Martin all stare, not at him, but at Gerry who decided to come in his favourite clothes, which, now that he thinks about it, are not exactly what you would wear for an office party, but he had been so relieved that he did not question it until it was too late.

“So this is my boyfriend Gerry, i… hope you don't mind? I remembered you always insisted on seeing a picture…” Tim opens his mouth and closes it a few times, but ends up grinning like he saw the best thing ever.

“Pleasure to meet you Gerry!!” Sasha and Martin also say hi and then they all go to get some drinks and talk while everyone at the institute sort of mingles around. Its a little bit awkward at first but once Sasha asks about Gerry's job and he mentions that he sells paintings he makes plus working half time in his own bookstore, things smooth out fairly easily.

Tim talks with him and gets Martin to join, who looked a little bit uncomfortable, but was ultimately by the end of it having fun. Jon feels Gerry interlace their fingers under the table and he smiles. 

At one point Tim, slightly drunk, declares they should have a karaoke contest. Elias for some god forsaken reason had thought it would be a nice addition to it, drunk or tipsy people would all go there. In fact he has seen several people from research perform a group rendition of bohemia rhapsody in slightly off key tune.

Jon was also as a matter of fact tipsy, not enough to just embarrass himself like that, he has actually a fairly good tolerance for alcohol. Sasha joined him and after egging Martin one the three made their way there. He picked his cellphone and went to record.

“They are nice”

“Mm” He keeps recording Tim trying to do a slightly bad macarena while singing total eclipse of the heart with Sasha and Martin.

“It looks like they are having fun…”

“Yeah, im making sure they will remember on monday”

“... Jon” He turns at him and sees the mischief. Oh no.

“Err yes?”

“I never sang karaoke” And. well shit. He lets out a breath,

“Awful and incorregible” His lips are up in a crooked smile that is more accentuated by the dark purple lipstick. 

“Fine, fine!” Gerry grins so joyfully and happily that it feels like he was staring at the moon all pale and beautiful, his boyfriend leans forwards and feeling his breath catch on his throat he closes his eyes and lets him kiss him. His left hand goes to his cheek to caress it and he has to lean back a little bit because he presses himself closer, Jon feels giddy, its nothing beyond their lips pressing together by his own personal preference towards the activity, but no matter how many times it always feels just as perfect as the first time it happened all those years ago.

Gerry pulls back a little bit and kisses him softly a few more time, each one making him feel more and more like he was floating, but before he could say anything the bubble he is in burst when someone wolf whistles at them and then-

That's when he remembers that he is at a work party and he got kissed by his boyfriend in front of everyone. Gerry must realize it too, because he flushes too but smiles nonetheless.

“OY, DONT MESH WITH MY MATE. I CAN KISH TOO-” Tim who was very brave, drunk and trying to help , grabs Sasha and kisses her, before turning to  Martin’s and giving him one too.

Everyone around who was in a relationship looked at him, shrugged and kissed their partners while the others cheered them on.

Jon snorts and then starts to laugh incredulously. Gerry joins him and he ends up putting his hands on his shoulders while he grabs his waist, they lean against each other laughing and actually spinning a little bit at the ridiculousness while  adding a few more kisses along the way, even if everyone was watching no one seemed to care. And Jon felt finally at ease.

Enough so that he sang a few songs with Gerry who looked way too happy and managed to snatch a few more kisses. That is until he decides to sing the song that he was Performing the day he met Gerry while at a mechanisms concert.

To say that everyone lost it by the end of Red Signal would not be an exaggeration.

Jon had a lot of fun and seeing his boyfriend laugh and joke with Tim and the others while holding his hand, he felt that things were settling better than expected.

By the time they are in bed that night he kisses him a last time before turning off the lights and telling him how much he loves him, he always looks surprised by it, but while blushing a little at it, even now, he tells him as much.

“Thanks for coming”

“Thanks for amusing me and dedicating me that rendition, I think Tim almost has a conniption” Jon laughs.

“He wanted my secret past, he got it”

“That he did gnight... jonny”

“Shut up.... Night Ger”

i love your reviews and since you gave me permission, mag 148?

also gonna use ur askbox as a confessional now bc this is such an Eye Avatar episode for me. i fucking hate security cameras more than any other aspect of the eye and idk how jonny managed to access this niche fear of mine. but on the other hand i like Knowing things. way too much.

by all means, please use my askbox as a confessional, i love knowing things too (im not very eye-aligned but. i did make a spreadsheet of the podcast.)

lets get to it then

USELESS SCHEMING PIECE OF SHIT YES BASIRA FUCK HIM UP FUCK HIM UP FUCK HIM UP FUCK YOU ELIAS

MISCALCULATION ELIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT A MANS EATING HABITS WERE HIS OWN PRIVATE BUSINESS CUNT MOTHERFUCKIGN BITCHASS BASTARD ELIAS I LOVE YOU

"because the spider usually wins"...............................so it does. :|

god i love him he's so fucking. there's a word but i dont have it. he's such an evil cunt.

god this season makes me so sad. the business with martin's isolation is just so sad for me. its not even like theyre doing something dumb and from the listener's perspective i can yell at them, it makes sense what they're doing and it still fucking suuuucks

statement delicious and nutricious

old cameras you say? 👀

ever since i watched mike lebeau's commentary on some of the episodes, I like to pay attention to where the music starts to come in. just a little fun observation; here it starts when jon reads about samson setting up the cameras

wait. is that manual a leitner?? its gotta be

and the music rises at the mention of their face in the manual :D

i wonder what he watched in there at night. just the empty shop? were you having fun samson? i also wonder how he experienced this, like what was his motivation for watching; did he look for some answers? did he just feel the need to Watch, no matter what. Maybe the Eye gave him access to watching other things than the shop as well? i guess what im getting at is if the Eye was feeding on his fear as well and is so, then what was he scared of

samson said fuck reality im gonna live in the cameras now

AUTOCANNIBALISM JON NO

personally, i don't find this very scary, but i get how it could be. but i've always found it reassuring (on rare occasions i actually paid any mind to it) that someone is watching what's happening. like, recently i've been to an escape room with my friend, and we invited another one of our friends, but they said they're freaked out by escape rooms because the person outside is always watching what you're doing. and i've got the exact opposite of that - i'd be more scared if no one was watching, if i was there alone, and you see how i clearly am an avatar of the Lonely

anyways, might send you some of the eps that freaked me out the most later <3

[madlittlecriminal]

Hi Billie! Hope you are doing well! Can I please request another Jonathan Crane x reader (I just love my Jonny boi😂) with prompts 49. "Please dont go" and 50. "I fell in love with my best friend"? If not no worries! Have a great day/night!!

Slow ↦ Jonathan Crane × GN!Reader

prompt 49: “Please don’t go.”

prompt 50. “I fell in love with my best friend.”

heyo! im doing alright & my day was good! also, you can request as much as you want to be honest & honestly? i love him too even if he tried to make Gotham go crazy XD hope you like it & hope you’re doing great! hope you have a great day/afternoon/evening/night :)

(lmao, i found this gif that lowkey highkey represents the scarecrow fandom while looking for a gif for this prompt XD)

from my first prompt list

Warnings: soft!crane because i like making mean characters hella soft

Your grabbed the door knob, ready to leave Jonathan’s house until he grabbed your wrist. “Please don’t go.” You let out a sigh. “Then can you tell me why you’ve been so secretive? You’ve been avoiding me like the plague and now you actually touch me and tell me not to leave after what? Two months? Jonathan, what’s going on?” He knew you were annoyed because you said his first name and not one of the many nicknames you gave him.

“I can’t tell you, (Y/N).” You scoff. “We’ve been best friends for years now all of the sudden, you can’t tell me? Just let me go so I can go home.” He shakes his head. “I know that means you’re putting an end to our friendship.” You shrug in annoyance and in anger. “Well what do you want me to do?! Plus, you already ended the friendship once you continuously avoided me, Crane. What else am I supposed to do? I came here to see if I can understand why YOU invited me over, but I guess I just wasted my time.”

“I fell in love with my best friend.” He blurted out and you froze. “What?” He ran a and through his hair and nodded. “I fell in love with you. That’s why I’ve been avoiding you. I didn’t know how you’d take it if I told you. I’m sorry.” Your scan his face to see if he was lying just to prevent himself from telling you the truth, but there was only honesty on his face and in his blue eyes. “You didn’t have to avoid me, Jon.” He opens his arms and you hug him. “I was scared.” You snicker. “That’s ironic.”

He chuckles and hides his face in the crook of your neck. “It is indeed.” You play with the hair in the back of his neck. “If it makes you feel any better, I fell in love with mine too.” He relaxes and nods. “That makes me feel much better.” You smile. “Let’s just take it slow, Jonny boy.” He laughs at your nickname. “That’s fine by me, (Y/N).”

[blazeismyname]

SHOOT- I ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED REBLOG ON THELAST ONE SO I LOST EVERYTHINFG... EHAODBWK, LET ME RECOLLEXT MY THOUGGTS

So like, this has become a hyperfixation-

I KNOW HOW GOOD AAHES SINGING TALE AS OLD AS TIME IS CAUSE ITS SO VIVID IN MY HEAD LIKE... I won't lie, I kinda forgot about the actor when I was watching the musical and started imagining it was Ashes-

AND ALSO THE THING WITH THE FIRE. AAUGHAUGGAUAGH- THATS SUCH A GOOD COMPARISON BROOOOO

Oo- On the Tale As Old As Time note, what if it's one of the songs Brian learned and he accidentally dropped it when first arriving? Tim find it, prolly goes to burn the bitch since is Tim, and Lyf shouts and takes it from him and gives it to Ashes. Brian, of course, will never see that specific piece again but!

OH, YKNOW WHAT? THERES A SCENE WHERE BELLE CHECKS OUT A BOOK AND THE LIBRARY OWNER LETS HER KEEP IT AND SHE DESCRUBES THE STORY- WHAT OF BRIAN HAS SIMILAR WITH THE TALE AS OLD AS TIME SONG AND HE DESCIBES THE BEAUTY OF THE TEMPO AND STORY ITS CONVEYING!!

Also. LYF'S. BACK. STORY. MAKES. ME. WANT. TO. SCREAM. IT'S THE PERFECT TRANSLATION OF CANON LYF'S INTO THIS AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO SQEAL AND FALL OVER UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S 6AM AS IM WRITING SO I CANT

And Marius carrying Lyf- I just imagine the short gremlin man dashing through the halls with a nervous clock in hand that's like "PLEASE DONT DROP ME-". Marius has a makeshift version of those baby things where the baby is strapped to your chest-

Marius getting to see this old time reufgee man for the first time (where he's not a clock) and immediately drops to his knees.

OH, I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS IN THE NORMAL VERSIONS BUT THERE'S A PART WHERE COGSWORTH GETS A WIND KEY. WHAT IF THAT HAPPRNS WHILE MARIUS IS AROUND AND MARIUS, TO CALM HIM DOWN, JUST CUDDLES CLOCK LYF

Ooogghh.. gotta mention this silly idea while I'm still on the topic of Marius's for easier flow- What if Marius goes to tell the mob like "Hey, no, it's ok! Brian is in love with the hideous beast thing. " he leans in and whispers,"his name is Jonny, " then pulls back and continues,"And I'm in love with a clock!" And the mob is like "Welp. He's delusional. Time to murder the beast for somehow making the local Fuck Boi be into a clock". Ending scenes ensue but Aurora ain't having it so she "nu-uh"s them out of there... but like, somehow one gets through to stabs Jonny (I need the scene of Belle crying and yelling I love him.. BRIAN PULLING JONNY TO A SAFE PLACE AND JUST... TRYING HIS DESPERATE HARDNESS- AND YET JONNY DIES AND THERES LIKE, A BRIEF MOMENT FROM BOTH MARIUS AND BRIAN WHERE THEYRE LIKE "I did this" AN CARMILLA IS LIKE "Nah, this is the consequences of my actions lol" AND THE BRIAN SHOUTING "I loved him!")

NOW I CAN TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE AURORA SHIFTING AND STUFF TO HELP EVERYONE INSIDE. AGAHAGGA- WHAT IF SHE EVEN TRIES TO BLOCK OF THE WEST WING BUT FAILS BECAUSE BRIAN HAS THE POWER OF BEING BRIAN- AND ALSO THE CREAKS- ITS A STORMY NIGHT AND THERES A LOT OF CREAKS AND YOUD ASSUME "Oh, it because of the wind" BUT REALLY, ITS HER COMFORTING THE PEOPLE INSIDE (Jonny is absolutely just like a scared dog when it's stormy out). AND HE OPENING THE DOORS FOR BRIAN- If it's to be assumed that Carmilla is inside and in the dungeon (that's what happened in the musical (I'm so sorry I keep referring to the musical)), and that's why Brian is here, then Aurora would probably know by the desperate shouts of "Mama! Mama, are you?" (That and pained groans because he decides not to wear a dress into the woods because you probably shouldn't (Im going with that since I firmly believe he has a bit more rationality then just- dashing into the woods)). Aurora connects the dots pretty quickly and lets him in and leads him to his Mom while simultaneously leading Jonny to Brian since she doesn't want to disrespect Jonny- OUGH, THE SCENE WHERE BELLE IS S9BBING CAUSE SHE'LL NEVER SEE HER DAD BUT ITS BRIAN CAUSE HE'LL NEVER SEE HIS MOM AND AURORA SHIFTS AROUND AND CREAKS TO COMFORT HIM (it definitely works)

Also, Marius just being in with the servants- Jonny calls for everyone to line up so he can assign them their tasks and their Marius is, Lyf strapped to his chest for some reason... and it takes him a solid minute to realize that he's not a servant-

THE CANE, IM EATONG THE CANE- AND I IMAGINE WITH THE PART OF TS FINDING IT IN THE WOODS IS SO MUCH MORE INFURIATING FOR BRIAN BECAUSE TS IS PROBABLY OBLVIOUS FOR THE TIME, SPINNING IT AND STUFF SND JOKING WITH MARIUS ABOUT BEING A FANCY GENTLEMAN- BRIAN TAKES IT, GOES HOME, SETS OUT-

I'm gonna stop for now since I have to walk to school soon and shouldn't be typing while I do that

Beauty and the Beast, but it's the Mechanisms.

Jonny must be the beast because feral Jonny and the whole heart thing... prove me wrong.

Tim or Brian is Belle.

Rest of the Mechs are the servants in the Beast's house. With an exception for Marius as Gaston cause I can totally fucking see it. He would suck at it though because it's Marius. And also, short Marius HC.

This is probably not new. But it's been brewing in my head for a good few months, ever since I put my Mechs OC in the iconic Belle dress.

[kateinator]

please tell me about your mechsona! i really hope this isnt weird because we dont know each other but mechsonas are cool and stuff!!

Okay so like with every fandom I make a self insert which is just “me but cooler and when I listened to the Mechs I was like “okay let’s do this” Even though I’ve only listened to the main albums (not TTBT1 + 2, Frankenstein, and I’m trying to brace myself for DTTM) and not read any canon fic. 

Their name is Donovan Flowers, their gender is ????? (haven’t worked it out yet), mechanism is a missing leg and missing right eye (also maybe like an elbow??? like the entire elbow got replaced but the forearm was fine??? Carmilla was just experimenting and was probably high). 

What do they look like??? Redhead, absolutely. White button up shirt, brown corset, black skirt, grey sleeveless overcoat/cardigan, brown belt over the corset and jacket. Brown belt bracelet and fingerless lacy gloves on the left hand. And a top hat, with goggles and flowers on the band. Think victorian adventurer meets wild west gunslinger meets MCR (all of which I pulled out of my closet cus I’m that person). As for favored weapons, I’m gonna go with knives and a bat with nails, with a gun (six shooter) as backup. 

Role on the ship??? They’re the ship’s cook (actually built a garden on the Aurora as something to occupy their mind) and basically extra hands whenever necessary. In the band, they have a talent for picking up melodies and playing things by ears, so they can pretty much pick out the melody for something if needed. However, their usual role is voice, saxophone/woodwinds (like in the Bifrost Incident), and accordion. 

Backstory??? Lowly cook falls in love with heir to shady possibly mafia royalty (a woman named Lavender Blue, based off of @cryptvokeeper), marries in secret, runs off with their love when the marriage comes to light, travels the stars for a couple years having adventures with wife, the family catches up to them, Lavender ends up dead in Donovan’s arms, with Donnie mortally wounded, only for a familiar space vampire to float up to their ship and save Donovan’s life. 

Cut to some amount of time later, the Mechs come across a supposedly abandoned ship which holds one certifiably insane saxophone player who cannot die when Jonny inevitably tries to shoot them and upon hearing the name “Mechanism” goes “Oh shit I heard about you!!! Do you need a cook?” and then just Vibed for the rest of time

Other important facts: 

Absolutely is not all there in the head-- medical experimentation for god knows how long coupled with isolation for who knows how much longer and the fact that they keep seeing their dead wife and having conversations with her kinda does that to a person

(Lauren and I chatted about this, Donnie’s robo eye got possessed by Lavender’s spirit and they still talk but Donnie’s the only one that sees her and it’s out of that one eye)

The robo eye can also replay and project memories, further confusing them

Unfailingly polite. Just, such a nice person. Not the biggest fan of killing indiscriminately (still clinging to that moral code) but like, will cut off someone’s genitals if you try and mess with them

Push them to their limit and they will go feral and mow ppl down 

Comes from Space New York and doesn’t know what an England is. 

Also talks way too fast all the time

refers to everyone as “Mr.”, “Ms.”, or “Mx.”, since they’re the newest member of the group. 

(Considering that the Toy Soldier is referred to as “it”, Donnie defaults to calling it “Captain Soldier”)

(Jonny has shot them for doing this multiple times)

Wears their wedding ring on a chain around their neck. 

Loves the Toy Soldier and Boring/MJE Brian the most. 

Once spent a week just cuddling the octokittens

If they wrote an album it would be based on Tam Lin

Absolutely the Little Sibling but also has Middle Sibling Energy

Yeah that’s basically it!!! I haven’t thought of any particular inspiration behind their story, like a fairy tale or anything. I’m thinking about it tho!!!

[robotrebelranch]

What about Rolf or Jimmy for the character thing, please?

well i was GOING to draw but my laptop shit out on me after the last ask and now my tablet wont work :///

But anyways, why not both?? I love em both

Rolf - 

favorite thing about them - His good attitude and general big brother of the cul de sac kind of vibe. Also Rolf growing sour and jaded over time appeals to me.

least favorite thing about them - Nothing, he’s perfect ❤ No seriously, I cannot think of anything that bothers me about him. 

favorite line - “DO NOT FRAZZLE ROLF!” “Your garden is overgrown, and your cucumbers are soft!” “MAY SHOWER SCUM DEVOUR YOUR HEAD!” “You tickle Rolf’s radish.” “This is Rolf’s word! ...Dawg.” I’ve been thinking about “EEL WOMAN! RAISE THE JUG!” a lot lately and I don’t know why. Also I miss when Rolf would say “You crazy.” a lot.  

brOTP - Big fan of when Kevin and Rolf casually hang out. From a distance Kevin seems like someone who’d think he’s too good for oddball Rolf but nope they’re best friends

OTP - Am very down for kevrolf and rolfnazz. Kevrolf because bro dude type ships are just funny to me and rolfnazz bcause he would treat her better than Kevin does. I also just like the idea of Nazz going with the one guy her age who wasn’t obsessed with her. I guess now that I think about it I like rolfnazz mostly out of spite for the other boys huh

nOTP - No strong feelings. Only times I’ve heard about Jimmy with Rolf was in a one sided Jimmy having a crush context which is fine. Don’t think Rolf would reciprocate those feelings 

random headcanon - 1. I like to think Kevin helps out Rolf with his chores when Rolf’s busy as a means to still hang out with him (and an excuse to become as strong as rolf)except Kevin is terrible at any farm work especially anything animal related. At first Rolf didn’t know how to say no but after a non specific incident Rolf said nope that’s it, never help rolf again you hear me 2. Kevin and Rolf’s friendship is very on the rocks from season 5 past big picture show, in fact Rolf and Nazz almost broke off from Kevin entirely. Rolf and Nazz also kept hanging out without Kev around the events of BPS both before and after  

unpopular opinion - I see Rolf referred to as the most powerful character a lot but he could be killed by Sarah dont kid urself

song i associate with them - Orange County by Dylan Kanner bcause it’s about being unsatisfied with city life

favorite picture of them - post milky rolf bcause it annoys ghostypepper

Jimmy -

favorite thing about them - Sassy little gay boy with the best lines and also had character development. Good for him

least favorite thing about them - S1 Jimmy didn’t have enough to do and I would’ve liked to see Jimmy stay more consistently competent after Ed in a Half Shell and ESPECIALLY If It Smells like an Ed but that one’s just a tiny nitpick I don’t actually care about. 

favorite line - “Someone get me off this merry-go-round called life!” “Darn, my perfectly manicured nails!” “You smell suspiciously herbal fresh. Use it or lose it, missy *starts pummeling nazz*” “In a second! I’m oiling up for speed!” “If only Sarah could see how good I am at manual labor!” “*way too casually* Honest Mister, I’m just a kid, I’m broke.” “Looking for trouble? Cause I’ll flip you like an omelette!” “HOPE YOU’RE WEARING A CUP, BECAUSE YOU’RE CREME BRULEE, MISTER!” and anytime he says ‘tushie’ 

brOTP - Love his friendship with Sarah, wish Jimmy with Rolf and Jonny came up more though i like those combos too 

OTP - Don’t really ship him with anyone but him and sarah if im forced to choose one

nOTP - VERY opposed to jimmy with any of the kankers

random headcanon - Passionate about my hc that he grows to be 6′2″ in senior year

unpopular opinion - 1. Gets too much hate 2. Whenever I see people dump on Jimmy it’s often attributed to If It Smells Like an Ed but honestly that episode was not that big a deal. Yeah he wen’t too far that’s the point but it didn’t make me hate him or anything lol 

song i associate with them - yknow he looks like someone who’d have Let’s have a Kiki by the scissor sisters memorized. Would also fit Fabulous from Phineas and Ferb  

favorite picture of them

TMA Fanfic Challenge!

These titles Jonny posted pre-season 2 are too good and I wanna read them so… Im gonna organize a fanfic challenge. So heres how:

Ideally we would get one author for every prompt. If your interested in one of these contact me and Ill reserve them for you, on a first come first serve basis. You can of course still write something to a title thats already taken, Im not gonna stop you, in fact please do and send me a link so I can read it, please, but I plan on making a collection with all the entries and only the ‘official’ ones will go in there.

Once you have one reserved the fanfic should he finished and published till the end of season 5. This is to ensure that we actually get a complete collection at some point. If at some point you realize you dont want write your prompt anymore please tell me as soon as possible so o can give it to someone else. And if your finished and youve posted your fic on ao3 send me a link so I can add it to the collection!

Some of these hang together but Ill let you guys decide wether you wanna collaborate in these or just each do your own thing.

I really hope some people are interested in this because I cant wait to see what people come up with. And if youre dont want to write one please still consider sharing this. I want to read “If toes could hate” so badly.

Ill regularly update which titles have been taking. Happy writing!

Revelations

Summary: Post ep 4x08 It Takes a Pillage , What is the reaction of johnny to learning that d'avin didn't leave voluntarily. The look into the love between the two brothers that I wanted but didn't get.

He knew hiding in the lower parts of the ship was absolutely useless. Either dutch or d'avin would find him in no time, would probably be dutch, but after the things he learned that day he wanted some space to think things through. His life was built upon some absolute truths and if one of them was wrong then how many else would change making him lose his foundation.

The sound of the door opening made him reappear from his thoughts. Looking back he found it was dutch that had found him. D'avin may be his brother but dutch was his best friend. It was probably for the best that dutch came , she was the only thing now that he trusted absolutely.

Dutch didn't speak, she just came towards him and sat down near him such that if he wanted to he could touch her. She gave him space that he himself would give her. He continued working on Lucy not turning towards dutch, but she waited patiently. After what appeared to be minutes or an hour he didn't know, he put down the tools he was holding and just leaned into her. Her hands came around him and he found himself encircled by her. Slowly the tension he had been unaware he carried , loosened from him.

'I know meeting your father would have been bad. But I'm here , d'avin is here , talk to me johnny ,are you ok?'

She asked it as if he could say what was in his mind in one word. But it was dutch , if he cant tell it to her he might as well bury his thoughts and carry it to the grave.

'You know dutch , for approximately half my life I've loved d'avin, but the other half , I absolutely hated him. He left me you know , left me in that sad excuse of a planet with a sick mother and an absent father. That day that I learnt he left is still the worst day of my life. I was so angry , so bitter that it festered and festered until it became something ugly inside of me . I loved him but I also hated him. It made me bitter and petty you know. If only he had asked me , if he had asked me to come with him I would have. I used to dream , that d'avin would come back and took my mom and me away from there , away from my father. I used to dream but not for a very long time .

The first time he came here , with us I saw how much you both clicked and how much you liked him and I was jealous. He was was the one who ran off and when I try to form a life for myself he comes back and tries to destroy it anyway. '

Dutch who had until that point been silent opened her mouth as if to protest.

' No let me speak dutch. If I stop I dont know if I can start again. Things are different now but it wasn't then. The bitterness that I felt for him grew. And when d'avin was off the team , I knew you were hurt , I was too, but a small part of me was happy. What kind of brother, a friend am I to feel such things'

'Johnny no, its human to feel those things and I would have been the same too and you know it'

He knew dutch wouldn't keep her silence in some parts. Snorting a little he held her hand a bit tighter to make her quiet again.

'I know Dutch but that doesn't make me feel better.

D'avin had gone through terrible things in his life and sometimes I think that those would not have happened if he hadn't left . But at the same time I wouldn't have met you , so I go round and round with that thought in my head.'

He became silent, lost in the thoughts running through his head .

A had touched his face making him pay attention.

'What happened today johnny?' She asked.

And wasnt that the big question of the day.

'I learnt that I was a naive foolish little boy that was ungrateful. Did you know that our father used to praise us in the outside world and spit on us in our own home. Nothing that we did was enough. Our mom tried her best but well she had herself to take care of and then the disease happened. She wasn't spared even then . But d'avin , he tried . He turned all of our fathers attention on him so that my mother and I could be spared. It didn't always work but he used to get double the beatings for interfearing . He never complained, he would take care of us first and then him at last. It became a regular for us, to be seen with bruises. '

He knew that she had suspected of what happened to him in his Childhood but it was the first time he confirmed it. Turning to see her he found that she was already staring at him . Suddenly closing the space between them she hugged him tightly as if afraid of letting go. He closed his eyes and focused on the feel of her in his arms.

'He didn't leave dutch , he didn't. It was my father who gave him the ultimatum, jail or the military. And you want to know how that situation came to be , it was because he defended me, he lost his carefully restrained control and gave back. And all that happened to him, in the military and now, it all comes back to me doesnt it . No dont argue. Please dont . '

Seeing dutch sit back with a defiant look in her eyes he knew she definitely would argue after he finished made him chuckle a bit.

'Half my life I've been angry with him and now I dont know what to do. Do you know what I said to him when I learnt all this. I said thank you , just a thank you. He sacrificed his life for me and I just kept on reminding him that he left . He didn't even correct me. Just kept on accepting that I have a bad opinion of him. The things I've said to him, again and again , shit dutch , what do I do?' his voice was becoming hysterical at the end.

As involved as he was in what he was saying he didn't notice movement by the opened door, but dutch did. Knowing that there was only one person that could be she came to a decision.

'Jonny you can't take back any of the things you said and d'avin can't go back and inform you of all that had happened. It wasn't only on you, you know that right?'

She could see him shaking his head and she huffed out exasperatedly. She didn't know what she was going to do with these two.

' Ok enough is enough. You have moped enough for a life time . Come on sit straight and look at me. Dont look so confused johnny doesnt suit you. Now imagine that I am d'avin. And tell me everything that you want to tell him and couldn't. Come on try it '

She could see him roll his eyes but sit straighter. Letting him off to collect his thoughts her eyes wandered to the door and she could still see the shadow of him near it. Confirmed that he was there she turned to johnny again. He had his eyes closed but within a few moments opened them and stared at her.

' I'm sorry d'avin, im so sorry for all the times I've insuated that you ran away, for all the times you had to keep quiet , for all the times I was the reason you had to hurt , for all the times I've made you feel unwelcome. I'm sorry big brother, I'm sorry .

And thank you for all the times you've stayed , for all the times you've smiled inspite of the hurt I've caused, for all the times you spared me from getting hurt the same way you were. Thank you for loving me even when I didn't show it. Because yes, I love you d'avin, even when I was angry at you , I've loved you, I'm sorry d'avin, I'm sorry'

He had started to cry half way through his speech and now in the gentle hold of his best friend he threw caution to wind and let himself feel for all the lost time .

He didn't see the shadow that was beyond the door slump down , clutching the alcohol bottle he had brought with him as if it was his life line. He didn't see the tears that ran down that face or the happiest smile that bloomed, he didn't see his big brother mouth back ' I love you too johnny' to him.

He didn't need to. These three , they will be ok . As Blood brothers , best friends , lovers they will be ok.

Maso’s Escape

Warnings: Contains mentions of torture, lots of blood, mentions of vomit and, obviously, violence

x-x

"Rise and shine! It's another beautiful day to get tortured, you useless bag of shit~" Alice sang as she entered into the dark, musty chamber, which smelled worse every time, she felt.

Unlike her prisoner, she was refreshed and well rested after a peaceful night in cuddling with her sweetheart. It was the first day back in the Grimdark Office after her stay ('VACATION' as Birch insisted stubbornly) at Morayne's Office, which sat quiet and undisturbed most of the time and Alice was ready to return back to business, to start anew with fresh motivation, and that meant taking out the trash first.

She kicked the limp form sitting in its chair to wake it. Its four arms were shackled to the tattered armrests and its feet, bare and bruised despite not having moved in the last months, were bound tightly to the chair's legs.

The figure reacted slowly, first flexing its hands and then lifting its head up at her, like it had just been woken from a nap. Which it wasnt — Alice had made sure Maso had been unable to sleep ever since she caught him.

Sure she could’ve just let Melissa torment him with his own personal nightmares, but nothing felt quite as bad as not being able to sleep. For months.

Any sane human would’ve broken down at that alone. But Alice prided herself in creativity when it came to cruelty, so depriving Maso of his sleep was just one in many tactics she used to utterly break his spirit.

She grabbed a handful of Maso's hair and yanked it back, forcing him to squint up at her.

"Didnt you hear my greeting?" She sneered. "It’s only polite to return it."

His eyes were unfocused, confused, bloodshot. Dark rings circled his lids both where his eyes were and where he used to have an extra pair, which had been self inflicted mutilation. He was a sad, mismatched mutation of two Stanleys brutally fused together under the name of science, and now this pitiful body only housed a broken soul. He was doomed to die alone in misery and Alice couldnt be more pleased.

Pleased because, no matter what he endured, she had suffered far worse at the hands of the god he sacrificed her to back in spring. No matter how he hurt, he had inflicted more pain on both her and her loved one. There was no room for sympathy in Alice’s eyes.

Maso’s gaze finally focused and instead of the look of fear Alice was expected, he simply grinned. It stretched slowly from one side to another, like syrup pooling reluctantly out of its glass.

"Heyyy," he croaked hoarsely. By now his vocal chords had endured torment of its own with his screams and incessant rambles followed by weeks of silence. It was awful to listen to, he sounded like rusty hinges grating on sand.

Alice's glee disappeared and she dropped his head, wiping her hand on her dress in disgust.

"What are you smiling at?" She snapped.

"Eevvvery time I look at you," Maso began, but stopped. He straightened up and flexed his hands again.

"...every time, I think about how funny it was to watch you get your ass kicked by Cipher." He finished, grinning. Impishly. A sure fire way to get Alice pissed and she would’ve smacked him across the mouth earlier, but something had distracted her.

"Whats wrong with your hand?"

"Aww, dont you remember? You cut off four of my fingers last month."

"Yes. Last month.” Alice took one of Maso's hands and pulled it up to examine it closer.

Maso's smile widened, but she didnt notice.

"It’s bleeding. It hasnt scabbed or infected or even healed in any way." The blood oozing out of the dismemembered digits wasn’t black or tainted, it didn’t even smell bad. Even if he had simply rubbing his wounds against the chair to keep it from healing, it would’ve been infected by now, surely changed into a sickly dark brown or worse, pulpy with pus.

Alice looked down and noticed a giant puddle of dark liquid pooling at their feet, soaking into her boots and what remained of Maso’s shredded clothes.

'The blood would explain why its so wet in here but...'

"But thats impossible."

The smile had changed into a big, shit eating smirk.

“If you’ve been bleeding since last month, then that would mean you wouldnt have any blood left by now. You would be a fucking husk, or dead, or—”

Alice stopped. She stared at the hand she was holding up to her face and realized with an onsetting dread that she shouldnt be able to hold his hand this high if it was shackled...to...the...chair.

Maso brought his knee up and kicked her in the stomach. She dropped his hand and stumbled, doubling over in pain. If she had anything in her stomach, she would've lost it but nothing came out as she retched and gasped for breath.

"Oohhh yesss," Maso sang, his voice suddenly a lot stronger and less hoarse than he made it out to be. He got up from his chair and stretched leisurely while Alice heaved at his feet.

"You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that. Oh, that felt so good!"

Alice turned her head up to look at him and regretted it instantly when he kneed her in the face. A loud cra-ack filled the room and she cried out in surprise and pain as bone shattered.

Maso cackled with utter glee while Alice cradled her broken nose, blood streaming down her face and dripping onto her dress.

"Man, you don't know how often I've fantasized about beating you to a bloody pulp! I thought ol' Jonny was cruel but you give that word a whooole 'nother meaning!" He grabbed her by the hair like she had done earlier and yanked her head up.

"You know, if I were as evil as you, I would drag you the chair and do a little repeat of aaall my memorable sessions," He grinned. "Show you just how well I paid attention to your lessons. That's what they were, weren't they? Lessons to teach the bad boy how wrong he was~"

Alice spat a mouthful of blood at his feet. "Y-you couldn't-" She rasped. "They would find out- you wont get away w-with this--"

"Wanna bet?"

He leaned close and Alice flinched, expecting another hit. But he didn't strike her again, at least not the way she expected.

“Maaybe if they’re distracted..”

Maso smeared his bleeding hand across Alice's face, mixing it with her own. He laughed at her disgusted expression and let go of her hair, letting her crumble down onto the floor, right into the old pool of blood. From up close she realized she had been mistaken. It wasn't blood, or not just blood. She was sitting in water, water ran from the ceilings, from the walls...from Maso's pores.

It churned with unseen forces and the ground seemed to give way underneath her, pulling her down through the opening doorway.

"Calypso says hi," Maso purred.

Alice scrambled for halt, but her arms felt heavy and her mind was filled with paralyzing dread. It felt like it had in her time out in the Void, where she was trapped with the Creature that whispered the most awful things known to the Universe into her thoughts, filling her with despair undescribable for words.

It was coming back to get her, She lay dormant in the depths of the waters now threatening to swallow Alice whole.

The sheer panic couldn't move Alice's muscles as she pleaded for something to give her halt and keep her from sinking back into Calypso's grasp.

Maso smirked and tipped an imaginary hat at her.

"See you later...ooor maybe, see you never again! I wish you endless sufferings in your path~" He taunted and sauntered out of the door, once again leaving her to die at the hands of Calypso.

She tried to scream for help, but found her throat strung shut by the suffocating fear now coursing through her veins.

She was waiting, eagerly and there was nothing Alice could do to break free and save herself from drowning-

Just as her head dipped underneath the surface, something yanked her back, hard to knock what little air she had left out completely.

Alice hacked and coughed, trying to refill her lungs desperately. Still blind in panic, she crawled away from the hole where the water licked at her ankles, ready to drag her back in. But something had changed and only when she had collapsed, shivering, in the corner, did she realize what happened.

The necklace, the one she had made for herself and Melissa only hours prior had warmed up. The blood red gem was glowing, creating a barrier of warmth around Alice as she shivered, knees drawn to her chest. The portal seemed to hiss sinisterly but the tides couldnt reach Alice past the protective bubble and so it retreated, reluctantly, slowly, making sure Alice knew that it was going to try again, and more viciously than before.

Alice watched it retreat, not daring to blink before it had vanished completely. Only once it was gone for good, did she ease. Dizziness replaced the terror she had felt mere seconds earlier and she was just able to call for help before she collapsed, this time unconscious, onto the dirty floor.

[iamalivenow]

What if season 3 is one whole "the Eye is also evil" extravaganza and we get really juicy lore dumps about elias, gertrude and other archivists and how the beholding fucked them up

like gerry said there are no good powers only bad awful times ahead

im pretty sure we already know that the eye is evil because of the whole pipe murder, gun murder, letting michael shelly die to further their own purpose, elias apparently being on a first name basis with other avatars, the whole time to emotionally break you down thing, continued fake ignorance, doing virtually nothing to save jon from nikola the first time, having it’s own end of the world ritual called the watcher’s crown, forcing jon to relive the same nightmares over and over again, whatever other laundry list of things the eye has done to people before

like dont get me wrong the false sense of security we all get from assuming that our power is the one good one is fun and all but considering if you give a live statement to the archivist the eye owns your nightmares for all of eternity isn’t like a Good Look.

and while sure , it’s defo not the most agro of the powers and it won’t go out and terrorize people on it’s own, it’s still a power. a bottomfeeding parasitic power that absolutely sees humans as a source of food and will leech off of everyone else’s actual effort. it’s like a vulture that’s just there to strip any remaining meat off of the bone

here is extremely good quality Eye Meta if you want it

you’re right tho, if elias and gertrude weren’t already awful the eye definitely dragged them down to its level

But Also Also i agree with you if we don’t get gertrude and elias backstory in season 4 im going to riot jonny please  im begging you

[ahostandaghost]

phantasmagorical - what is your favorite fantasy involving your f/o? this can be either sfw or nsfw, but please specify.

I'm really vanilla kinky w Jonnie tbh I just love being called a good boy

Non sexually ? I love the thought of slipping my arms around his waist while he's obviously stressed and having him nuzzle into my hair and make a nice contented noise........... it's like the stress melts off of the both of us

endive - if, under the circumstance, you were able to treat your f/o to a single, beautiful day without a budget, what would it consist of?

Ideally it would be halloween. I'd have us visit Salem, visit all of the Halloween stores. Buy a ton of Halloween candy and baked goods. We'd share pumpkin spice everything. Visit old buildings that are supposed to be haunted. Visit graves. Take tours. At the end we'd share a really beautiful honeymoon suite and it may or may not get sexual based on how he feels. But i totally see him just wanting to snuggle which would be 1000% okay even for my hypersexual ass who loves him

limerance - gush about your f/o, no limits… but the catch is, gush as if its a message directly to your f/o.

You're literally so beautiful!! I love you and there's nothing wrong with you! Scarecrow too. Even if you feel like a dead boy in a Scarecrow, no matter what you're lovely. Even on days where its hard to take care of yourself, I'll help you take care of yourself. Because I know that you'd do it for me! Jesus I gotta stop im tearing up, there's only so much public gushing I can handle

au courant - describe in detail or provide an image of your favorite outfit your f/o has worn. if they only have one outfit, find, draw, or make an outfit collage online of something you’d like to see them in.

I'll get back to this when I'm back to my laptop but honestly.... I want to buy him every kind of outfit. I like to think hed let me dress him up nicely sometimes

ubiquitous - how popular is your f/o in the fandom? do you think the fandom treats them well?

Not popular enough, not well enough

foofaraw - do your chosen aesthetics line up well with your f/os? meaning, if the two of you were to say, decorate a home, would your chosen styles clash or compliment each other?

I honestly do believe our aesthetic compliment eachother in a very opposites of the same coin kind of way! I dont see us fighting about decoration at all c:

fanfaronade - what would your f/o say when bragging about you to others?

Probably how talented I am. I don't see him making something dainty of me. He'd want to tell people how strong I am, how amazing and capable ;_;

ineffable - describe your f/o in only aesthetics. you can make a moodboard, or perhaps describe them with colors, songs, scents, unique words (; no explicit or literal details, if you can help it. be indirect. paint a picture.

I'll do this when I get home !

serendipity - how did you first discover your f/o, or your f/os source material? how did you feel when you first saw your f/o in your source material? 

I was a wee lad. I don't remember when my crush on him developed specifically. I remember watching the animated series as a kid and I thought he was cute ;;

Oh i guess I forgot to copy and paste all of this into the answer asdfghjkl anyway @eboysimon thang u

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning. Today we are discussing Ellie of the Stars by Shoona Browning~! (http://www.ellieofthestars.com/) For those new to CTP, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer so pay them no mind if you wish~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! Each chat a top comment will be picked and featured on an ad for this chat, so let’s have a great discussion~!

With that said, let us begin with this first question~!

QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?

snuffysam

I love the face-off against the yarnweaver. It was cool seeing Ellie up against such a dangerous adversary.

🎵Tenor🎶

A1: Everything involving the Yarnweaver. That whole scene was a trip but also led to some good plot set up, as well as interesting character development

Eeey :D

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

The weaver scene is cool but my favorite is the slumber party going on right now(edited)

MathTans the Pun Prince

Hiyo. Yeah, actually I liked the transition to the Yarnweaver the first time. Because it was a scene with Talia, and I thought we were transitioning out of a memory, but nope, stuff's actually happening. Got me there, clever.

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

I feel like the comic hadn’t had time to really breathe and make us love those kids as much as it could- it’s a needed scene and a really charming one at that!

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Woooo!

I like the part after the faced-off the Yarnweaver and Marble and Nitta cheered Ellie up(edited)

I was like awwwwww

so touching

:'3

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

I have two favorite scenes right now. Firstly, this one, which I feel like was a directed at the audience as well as the characters: http://www.ellieofthestars.com/post/162641612678/thanks-for-reading-be-sure-to-follow-ellie-of And also this one: http://www.ellieofthestars.com/post/103646306306 Mostly because the puns are terrible and I love it.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah i really appreciated Ellie's breakdown cause regardless of her personality, shes still basically just a kid and fighting off against the yarnweaver sounds traumatic at best XD

MathTans the Pun Prince

Mharz - Right. I particularly liked the scene too because it addressed how Ellie was away from her family, which I felt was a thing that should happen.

Nattosoup

Art wise, I really love the transition from black and white to beautifully rendered color, and I feel like it denotes a transition from Ellie's normal life to a life of adventure and unknown.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Natto - Good point, I thought the time it switched to colour worked well.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Oh man those puns made me laugh so hard

snuffysam

Yeah, even though it was probably a coincidence, I feel like that really worked out story-wise

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Ellie is so adorable

:'3

snuffysam

in a wizard of oz sort of way

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

I agree, mharz, ellie is adorable. XD I just wanna hug her

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I like her enthusiasm

snuffysam

i want to hug all the characters

Nattosoup

I love her facial expressions too

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

also I wanna tell her to stop running off to go talk to gods which might actually just be gigantic jerks

Nattosoup

she's so cute and expressive

MathTans the Pun Prince

I think the description in the comic "are you for real" works for Ellie. ^.-

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Ikr, kabocha

ellie pls

MathTans the Pun Prince

Kabocha - Yeah, honestly? She kinda brought the whole Yarnweaver thing on herself. Glad that she considered that too in her breakdown.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

don't go wishing meeting god nilly nally

MathTans the Pun Prince

Marble: "This is a bad idea." Ellie: "No, no, it's fine, see?"

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I like that scene where she packed so much stuffs

MathTans the Pun Prince

Marble's the voice of reason sometimes.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

even duct tapes

Nattosoup

@Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨ Decisions are HARD! You need to be prepared for everything and anything

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i like how the ultimate outcome of that whole adventure was that whoops, no one is still able to read that map. that makes the whole adventure really bittersweet for me since all they gained was a tiny gawd and a lifetime of mental scars

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

peeks

Oh hello!

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

xD(edited)

snuffysam

yo, superjustin!

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

eey it's the Snuff!

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

LOL Rebel

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Nitta is arguably the cutest reward.

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Just thought I'd drop in and see what's going on in the CTP

Nattosoup

all worth it for Nitta

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Kinda a bit busy myself to participate in full

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

Yeah Nitta is awesome

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

yes

Nitta is adorable

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

(plus previous CTP's kinda burnt me out)

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Aww, that's a terrible shame, Justin. :< This week's comic is super cute and I really think you might like it!

Joichi the Comic Artist

Hi i just dropped by! Catching up on Ellie comic

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

They were even more adorable when Ellie transformed their outfit to a kitty pajama.

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

JOICHI

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

those were good choices in outfits

🎵Tenor🎶

It's been super cute

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

The blanket fort is also super awesome

Joichi the Comic Artist

Hey Justin!

Nattosoup

OMG the outfits

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

I need to learn some blanket fort making techniques

🎵Tenor🎶

/eatin g, sorry will b slow

Nattosoup

I really love Ellie's adorable magical girl outfit, it is the cutest thing ever with those pumpkin shorts

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

you can never go wrong with a good outfit

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, Nitta's the cat's meow.

🎵Tenor🎶

Dude blanket forts are the shit

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

I second that

Nattosoup

Although yes, Kitty PJs were so cute too

🎵Tenor🎶

Gold star on their creation lol

Joichi the Comic Artist

Aww I got hit with shoona's adorable style

Nattosoup

tbh the choices in clothing is really nice in EoS

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

Okay but Netti’s kigirumi aahh

Nattosoup

I really appreciate when comics/artists spend that time

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Also, the Q&A answers.

the last one is pretty amusing

Ellie's face

http://www.ellieofthestars.com/post/167603582969/second-installment-of-our-midchapter-qa

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

The comic has some pretty fun expressions

Overall and throughout

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ellie must already know some magic, right? She's in space without a helmet and breathing okay.

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

It's defnitely a fun read overall

everything is adorable

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

There's a cute childlike logic to it which I totally dig

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

my fave Q&A was actually i think the one @Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨ asked because the yarnweaver can also be a small jerk

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

and the transition from BW to color is really smooth

LOL

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

I like how much the artist improved over a few pages too

That’s always so gratifying as a reader

snuffysam

Yeah the improvement is really nice!

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

ooof I wish my internet is faster so I can get screenies

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

@✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨ to be honest, it was not the answer I was expecting. XD

Nattosoup

@shoona 's art is really just lovely, I love their style in general. It's so soft and gentle

Jonny Aleksey

hi. I only got to read Ch3 but I liked what I read. It was really cute and I like the "kids on chill adventure" vibe.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

yis

:'3

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

eey Jonny

Joichi the Comic Artist

I agree, I'm noticing a nice change within the pages. EotS comic: Her characters are so expressive, I can also imagine how they may sound like.(edited)

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

@Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨ i dont think its the answer anyone was expecting which is what made it great XD

Jonny Aleksey

I remember when my bro and sisters used to make blanet forts. We took up the whole living room

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

dang those sounds like epic amazing forts. ellie clearly needs to up her game O_O

Jonny Aleksey

Oh I guess that answers Q1 :0

@✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨ we had a lot of chairs

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

LOL

🎵Tenor🎶

Desks make great supports too

MathTans the Pun Prince

They've showed great fortitude.

Jonny Aleksey

There was always too much stuff on my tables to use

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

I dunno, the stuff on the tables can be helpful for stabilizing the blanket forts and securing your roof

although it doesn't help much if you have a very stupid cat who likes to walk on them...

🎵Tenor🎶

Use heavier stuff than the cats

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

all of a sudden the contents of the desk, the cat, and the fort all come down

🎵Tenor🎶

I make a fort every other day just about lol

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Pffft

🎵Tenor🎶

Hey kid loves it

Jonny Aleksey

the fort has fallen. EVACUTE!

🎵Tenor🎶

LOL

shoona

ok thats honestly SO cute

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

oh hai shoona nice to see you your comic is super cute and we're enjoying it a lot

shoona

awwwww hahaha thanks!! im really digging the discussion

Jonny Aleksey

Your comic brings back childhood memories

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

thank you for coming @shoona ~!

🎵Tenor🎶

Haai

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

Lovely comic @shoona !

snuffysam

your comic is so cute @shoona !!!

shoona

awwwww thanks!!! and no problem, i really wanted to attend!!!

Joichi the Comic Artist

Hey shoona, your comic reminds me of my middle school days, I'd love to pick up these kind of stories. I was really into comics with fun girl leads and space(edited)

Nattosoup

if it's not too off topic, @shoona what are some of your big influences art and storywise?

shoona

aaaa that makes me so happy!!! i really wanted to make something i would have loved in elementary/middle school!!

MathTans the Pun Prince

So here's a question/wondering... I like how the hairstyles of grandma and the prince/princess resemble stars themselves. But others don't have that hairstyle... so it it only a royalty thing, maybe?

Nattosoup

Oh i thought they ARE stars?(edited)

am I missing something?

shoona

oh man @Nattosoup ....Cardcaptor Sakura (that ones p obvious) and other magical girl series, but also more recently webcomics like cucumber quest and shows like steven universe inspire me a lot

Jonny Aleksey

I didn't notice that! Just that her hair was like, a part of her.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe I'm misinterpreting because I play around with hairstyles myself.

Nattosoup

I really feel like Ellie of the Stars fits so well in that cadre too

like, i'd expect to see it b/w the SU artbook and CCS at a library

shoona

They're star people!!! the hairstyles are up to the individual person's style!

you'll get to see more star people with different hair styles soon :3

Joichi the Comic Artist

Answer: My favorite scene is with Grandma giving tea to Marble and Ellie: http://www.ellieofthestars.com/post/100187316614(edited)

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

granny is really just too adorable.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Another randomness, at first I thought Nitta was communicating by making words appear around her by magic that other characters would read... but I gather it's a telepathy thing? So I wonder if she just turns on general broadcast, or whether she could say something to Ellie that Marble couldn't hear, or vice versa.

shoona

nitta uses sign language :>

MathTans the Pun Prince

OH. That's awesome. I did not pick up on that, oops.

I guess when she was talking about the Yarnweaver being in her head, I got confuzzled.

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

These expressions

I love them

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

QUESTION 2. Despite Ellie being only 14 years old, she’s determined to save the Star Prince and Princess. However, at current, none of the kids seem to know where they are. How do you think they will find them? Will that map of the Yarnweaver’s reveal hidden secrets or will they figure out their location in some other fashion? How will Ellie’s astronomical knowledge hinder or help their quest? Besides finding the location, what other trials do you think our protagonists might face?

shoona

nah its cool!!! its never explicityly stated that thats how they talk so i can see how someone might miss it!

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Use the internet *shot

MathTans the Pun Prince

Do the Star People know computers? They had only a library and magic.

Like, legit question, I'm wondering.

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

I’m interested to see how the books Ellie brought on her quest and her astronomy knowledge will come into play

Nattosoup

@saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan) same here!

I love when creators are able to weave something that sorta starts off as a bit of a joke (Ellie overpacks) into something that can save the day!

snuffysam

I think the map itself will be a dead end, but Ellie's astronomy knowledge could save the day here!

shoona

it was really important to me that eots had a strong book/story motif so im sorta gently ignoring computers as wonderful as they are @MathTans the Pun Prince ;p

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe the map only seems like gibberish because Nitta's using the wrong point of reference. Which Ellie could figure out. Stars'll look different depending on the planet you see them from.

Nattosoup

@shoona that also gives it a timeless feel though

MathTans the Pun Prince

shoona: That's cool! I was glad they weren't just asking Siri stuff, just curious.

Nattosoup

which i think makes it relatable to a wider range of people

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

You know, I think while the map might not be any good... I think Ellie, Marble, and Nitta will probably find the Yarnweaver's journal or something. Or a book that was written by the Yarnweaver! And it'll have ALL THE SECRETS

and maybe a silly secret about how the yarnweaver really likes to wear bunny slippers when nobody's around

shoona

LMAO

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

oh geez that just makes me picture the yarnweaver even angrier as hes like how dare you read my private diary

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

really, the yarnweaver is just grumpy because nobody's let him have a nice cup of tea

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe Ellie's duct tape can help the Yarnweaver with those bandages.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I went to get breakfast

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

all yarnweaver wants to do is tell a story, get a cup of tea, and maybe be pampered

also listen to some tally hall

shoona

don't we ALL

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

XD

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yarnweaver can really turn on the tears though when needed.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

but on with what @MathTans the Pun Prince was saying i am curious how ellie's knowledge factors in cause stars do look diff from diff locations so trying to follow constellations youre familiar with isnt so easy XD

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I wonder if the stars have different people living there

🎵Tenor🎶

2. I'd like to think that there's more to the map. Just because the Yarnweaver had a hand in little Nitta's creation doesn't mean they know everything. Besides, they say people can be inspired by the real deal, so maybe it's coded or something just enough Nitta has no clue and it just seems like nothing.

MathTans the Pun Prince

I liked how Marble was like, astronomy/geography, same diff.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

LOL Same Math

same difference

Nattosoup

it would be to a star traveller, so that was a pretty cute bit of dialogue

that does a good job implying that this sort of travel is casual for Marble.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

at least they don't worry about not being able to breathe in space

Nattosoup

TBH I'm really glad shoona set it up that way

b/c i feel like solving that problem in comic time would've been a bit slow for younger readers

plus it's sorta a magic adventure, and being able to breathe in space ties in to that IMO

shoona

tbh when it comes to logic stuff i like to play it fast and loose and just go with whatever is fun

MathTans the Pun Prince

Tenor: So they just need to crack the code.

🎵Tenor🎶

Well they'd have to realize it's a code first.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

just connect the dots or something

maybe it'll form an arrow

pointing to the location

🎵Tenor🎶

Lol "X marks the spot"

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

take three steps to the east

then fifteen to the north

shoona

LOL

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

then dig 5000 ft

shoona

"fifteen what? years?"

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

that's where the prince and princess lie

🎵Tenor🎶

"Lie"

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

fifteen steps

🎵Tenor🎶

JESUS MHARZ

Just straight up "Nah son dey ded"

shoona

hahahahaha

dam

MathTans the Pun Prince

They wouldn't lie! They should tell the truth.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

it's all written in the stars.

/shots

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i think because of how kid-oriented the comic comes off the leaps in logic are fine (like how they breathe in space). because part of it always makes me wonder if the story is exaggerated a bit cause kid imagination and logic. maybe its all a fantasy and marble is just some new kid who moved next door and theyre playing in the backyard

🎵Tenor🎶

Same could be true for Nitta. Explains why a god uses sign language and not, like, telepathy. Assuming it's not both since the kids seem to understand them

Now I imagine Marble crashed his bike in Ellie's backyard

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Ellie's mom is probably maaaaaaaaaaad

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

I heard something about sign language

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

and worried

Nattosoup

ahaha that would be such an adorable AU

MathTans the Pun Prince

Marble isn't a kid at all. He's just a marble that Ellie's been talking to this whole time, sitting in the backyard. Talia's worried about her.

Nattosoup

or even like bonus comic (or a really cute reveal)

🎵Tenor🎶

..would that make the yarnweaver Nitta's like, cranky highschool older sibling?

MathTans the Pun Prince

SuperJ: Nitta communicates using it.

🎵Tenor🎶

Asshole bully who just wants their lemon fanfic read

shoona

chokes

🎵Tenor🎶

;D

Nattosoup

this said though, I honestly really love that Nitta uses signlanguage and NOT telepathy

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

welp was still kid friendly and then tenor ruined it

shoona

TENOR OH MY GOD

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Yarnweaver should just weave comics and post it to tapas(edited)

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yarnweaver doesn't like that people reject his ships.

🎵Tenor🎶

Tenor's here to ruin everything hush.

Nattosoup

since this is an all ages comic, its really lovely to see that sort of rep in such a beautiful, sweet way

🎵Tenor🎶

Besides how many kids these days know what a lemon fanfic is?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

google is your friend

MathTans the Pun Prince

Tenor: You make me feel old with that.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

omg Tenor

I look away for ONE MINUTE and lemon comes up

🎵Tenor🎶

Natto: Yees~

Mharz: How many kids know how to use google

Fuck look at how many adults don't know how to google

Nattosoup

I feel like EotS is a super accessible comic that has a beautiful variety of characters and abilities

🎵Tenor🎶

I feel they're safe

Kabo: I'm not apologizing.

Nattosoup

and the world really needs that

snuffysam

tenor!!!

🎵Tenor🎶

:D

snuffysam

you swore in the middle of refusing to apologize for ruining the chat!!!

MathTans the Pun Prince

Natto: Agreed. And they have some flaws which they reveal too.

🎵Tenor🎶

Math: It's ok I'm probably older (but have heard cute stories about how people found out about what lemon meant lmao.)

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah i agree with @Nattosoup that the comic is just...really beautiful. like its filling a missing piece of lit for its target audience of kids

🎵Tenor🎶

Snuffy: ... but I always swear lol

MathTans the Pun Prince

Tenor: I'm over 40. x.x I'm not really in this comic's demographic, but still liked it. ^.-

🎵Tenor🎶

Also I figured out what Ellie's facial expressions remind me of. Steven Universe - in the sense of when you see it, you can feel the emotion because you k now that wide ass smile that that's probably how it feels to have it.

Math: -GASP- someone older then me what's this witchcraft

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

LOOL

MathTans the Pun Prince

Interesting, I hadn't picked up on that, but now that you mention it I can see it.

snuffysam

the sparkles that sometimes appear in the characters' eyes also help with feeling the emotion (see: "i'm in SPACE")

🎵Tenor🎶

Yeees

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

I will be so sad if this comic ends up being just a dream :<

MathTans the Pun Prince

They can't go to a space bar though. No computers.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

what struck me as SU like was the tears cause man those were huge tears. the sort of tears that bash you over the head with the sad and ask if youre feeling it yet

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

yus

🎵Tenor🎶

sslfkj

Nattosoup

i really love tears like that

you see them in Ghibli films too

snuffysam

at the same time, if it is just a dream, it's still a cute comic about childhood imagination

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

@Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨ really? i wouldnt sad if it was a dream. most just respectful of how robust child imagination can be.

Nattosoup

it's like, the emotion is so big, it's overflowing

bubbling forth

shoona

i love me some ghibli tears

Nattosoup

i really really love how emotive the kids are in EotS, and how @shoona not only draws that emotion, but the reactions to emotion

MathTans the Pun Prince

Anyone see the "Little Prince" movie? I'm suddenly reminded of it.

🎵Tenor🎶

Not me

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I DID

MathTans the Pun Prince

What with the trip to space and is it a dream.

shoona

i just wanna draw kids being friends and supporting eachother!!!!

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I read the book too(edited)

one of my faves

shoona

i havent seen or read it but its on my list!!

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, I read the book long ago... it's here somewhere...

Could be more inspiration!

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I was actually thinking that it somehow reminds me of the Little Prince

I'd totally like to see Ellie travel to the stars

I mean different stars

MathTans the Pun Prince

Hollywood stars?

saetje (Tracy MacLauchlan)

I can see the little prince comparisons

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

in a way she has cause id assume shes no longer in our solar system. unless the star people live on like venus or something and nobody told me O_O

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I'm totally curious if there are different ppl living in the stars

Nattosoup

there was a really nice anime in the 80's for the Little Prince, it might be floating around YT

oh it would be interesting to sorta get idea of what star system EotS takes place

just from like a nerdy POV

MathTans the Pun Prince

There was a Saturday morning cartoon of Little Prince too, if memory serves. Unless it was a translation of the anime.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I bet Ellie will totally geek out of seeing the stars up close

Nattosoup

on that note, it also sorta gives me Little Nemo vibes

MathTans the Pun Prince

The sun's also a star though, and she's seen it.

Nattosoup

but i think it's b/c it's adorable, round cheeked expressive kiddos on big adventures(edited)

that are somewhat dreamlike

MathTans the Pun Prince

Then there's S.T.A.R.S., but no need to bring zombies into this...

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yes i totally agree with the little nemo vibes which is why i wouldnt be miffed if ellie woke up and it was all a dream. because if it ended the way the movie did theres always that question of whether it was a dream or not.

Nattosoup

oh you know, that's a good point @✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

Nattosoup

a certain subset of readers have been somewhat primed by media that has a similar vibe to expect the "it was all a sweet dream' ending

that's not a bad thing either, it will be interesting to see how it pans out

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

QUESTION 3. All the current events are set into motion from the attack that happened on The Star Kingdom in the past. Where did the monster that attacked come from? Was it all just bad luck or is there a more sinister, complicated mystery going on? Additionally, why haven’t the Star Prince and Princess returned? Is it as Ellie was told that they’re so far away they don’t know it’s safe, or is there perhaps another reason that prevents their return? Lastly, if the Star Prince and Princess return, will they be able to restore the kingdom to its former glory?

MathTans the Pun Prince

It was a dream.... and then Ellie summons her sword. O.o

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Yarnweaver made it

Nattosoup

whoa, good questions in 3 there

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

@Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨ I'mma agree

Yarnweaver's pullin' strings.

Nattosoup

I have to think there's more going on than they just don't realize it's safe to return yet

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

that darn yarnweaver

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Yarnweaver likes to add spice to his story

snuffysam

Do we know for sure it's safe for them to return? Maybe the monster's been following the prince and princess all this time.

MathTans the Pun Prince

They don't have cab fare. Can't get back.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

cus happy and peaceful = boring

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Maybe the prince and princess got eaten, but they're little tiny stars right now

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

@snuffysam i wondered that myself. cause clearly the monster is nowhere in the star kingdom. so maybe its following them

snuffysam

and if they were to return, it would just put the kingdom in danger again

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

another theory is Prince and Princes might be behind all of this

🎵Tenor🎶

I'm banking on Yarnweaver myself

snuffysam

they just wanted a vacation

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

they made a family from a galaxy far far away.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Yarnweaver really just... wants some recognition for a well-told story. But if Yarnweaver wants to be recognized, yarnweaver needs to end the story with a happy ending

MathTans the Pun Prince

Don't we only have the Yarnweaver's word that there was a monster after the royalty? I mean, there was the attack from Marble's point of view, but maybe it was for another reason. Then Yarnweaver spun the story, because... ratings.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

poor yarnweaver. no wonder hes grumpy. everyone assumes hes the villain

🎵Tenor🎶

Because they 'wanted a story to be known' and well, why repeat that story when they could have literally caused the effects to happen - what if Yarnweaver was planning for Ellie to get away because they need a heroine to finish the story and bring it to a conclusion so cast themselves as the villian?

One big long con

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe it's a test. Fail the test, try on another planet.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Hey, if telling a tale is also known as spinning a yarn...

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe the monster was a test too, of the Prince.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

and weaving a tale

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Yarnweaver just wants to troll everyone

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Yarnweaver is silver, confirmed

🎵Tenor🎶

Also Yarnweaver's eye keeps changing colors

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

id buy this yarnweaver theory tho. its all just a game to weave a cool story.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

or maybe yarnweaver just wants to make friends

🎵Tenor🎶

spoiler: More than one yarnweaver, flee.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Yarnweaver wants to get on the NY Times bestseller list legitimately.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

in a not so pleasant way

🎵Tenor🎶

...what is Nitta's the one pulling the strings but needed a villian so made Yarnweaver.

if*

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

gasp

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Is Nitta an anagram for anything?! QUICK, LET'S DECONSTRUCT THIS

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

what if Ellie's mom is the yarnweaver(edited)

/shots

🎵Tenor🎶

xD

MathTans the Pun Prince

Nitta = Tan it.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Somehow I feel like nitta is a play for knit since Yarn

MathTans the Pun Prince

There are many Yarnweavers, all different sizes.

Nattosoup

ooo

MathTans the Pun Prince

Mharz: That's pretty brilliant, nice catch.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Oh, good point, Mharz

Nitta = Knitter

snuffysam

yeah thats probably it

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

@shoona can you confirm

Nattosoup

so perhaps a puppet? or a pawn?

MathTans the Pun Prince

We shouldn't be too nittapicky.

shoona

HEH

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

nitta was jealous of the yarnweaver always weaving good tales so she stole his to make it her own.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe Nitta was the monster. Yarnweaver imprisoned it inside her. When they finally meet the Prince, true colours are revealed.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

maybe the monster was created by a rival kingdom cause the star kingdom kept getting all the tourism.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

XD

MathTans the Pun Prince

Heh, I thought about that.

It's the fault of the Moon Kingdom. Darn it, Serenity.

snuffysam

we really dont know anything about nitta's backstory, huh? like, were they born, or were they created for some purpose?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

PFFT

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Looks like we need some more loredumps?

MathTans the Pun Prince

Snuffy: You mean Gods?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

all their chara profile says is "Nitta is related to The Yarnweaver, though to what extent nobody is entirely sure. Yarnweaver calls them his niece, which seems fake but ok."(edited)

MathTans the Pun Prince

(Or was that 'they' in the singular and I'm just dense...)

✨Respheal✨

Singular they yes

snuffysam

yeah i meant singular they

MathTans the Pun Prince

My bad.

✨Respheal✨

(Hi I derped on time but I'm hereeeeeeee and EotS is so cute <3)

MathTans the Pun Prince

Nitta's a niece person.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

best squad

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Pajama squad is where all the cool kids rule

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

yessss

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

oh lol i did not notice before that nitta was making the nya hand pose

✨Respheal✨

Yes there's no way Nitta could be menacing. I kinda got the gist they might take Yarnweaver's place some day?

MathTans the Pun Prince

Where DO the Gods come from though. Evolved from the Star Kingdom? Do they just hang out there?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

they did it in all the panels

of that page

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

They're Gods, they just exist

snuffysam

that might be it? like, nitta is a young yarnweaver?

if gods just exist, how old is nitta? infinite?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i assume nitta was created in a sense to apprentice to the yarnweaver. that is my assumption.

shoona

you're spot on

MathTans the Pun Prince

Rebel: But by whom?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

or maybe yarny is lonely so they made a company

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

by the yarnweaver.

i assume

once again

MathTans the Pun Prince

Is Nitta actually young, or is she 903 and just looks young for a God?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

he's yarning for someone to talk to

snuffysam

by yarnweaver's sibling? since thats what a niece is

Nattosoup

haha that's if Nitta is actually related to the Yarnweaver

a lot of people will refer to their friends kids as their nieces/nephews

or even just adopted family

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

^

snuffysam

true true

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

maybe Nitta is extracted from Yarny's body

snuffysam

gross

MathTans the Pun Prince

Um? My sister-in-law has a daughter who's a niece, but she's not directly related.

Nattosoup

yeah

like that.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

they're made of yarn at least

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

you don't get questioned as much if you say someone's your neice or nephew as you would if they were your child

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

or I least I think Nitta was made of yarn

Nattosoup

My godfather isn't related to me at all, but I grew up calling him Uncle Calvin

@Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨ I would 200% that if i could

hey Yarnweaver, why does this kid live with you?

MathTans the Pun Prince

Oooh, Yarnweaver is Nitta's GOD father.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Nitta is Yarny 2.0 -- cuter and overall better. Less bandaged. Not falling apart I guess

Nattosoup

no idk, i'm just giving an example of a non related niece

MathTans the Pun Prince

I'm using it to try to advance a strange theory.

snuffysam

as is the norm

MathTans the Pun Prince

(String theory? With yarn?)

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

aaaaaaaa

✨Respheal✨

Oh lord

Joichi the Comic Artist

whoa im so behind on reading answers.. I just chuckled at some and then missing 20+ messages later(edited)

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Math is pulling out the strings

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

I'm feeling awful strung along now

MathTans the Pun Prince

We've reached the puppet tier.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

you could say Yarny knitted Nitta(edited)

Nattosoup

gettin kinda strung out eh?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

wait maybe yarnweaver had to make nitta. maybe the bandages are more than just how yarnweaver likes to dress and more cause yarnweaver is falling apart

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yarnweaver is a god MUMMY.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Eventually Yarny will possess Nitta

✨Respheal✨

Nooooooo ;o;

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Someone hands shoona a Yarnweaver amigurumi and says: "I'm no Nitta, but I can crochet"(edited)

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

PFT

Yarny turns into a sweater

shoona

id be so charmed

snuffysam

yarnweaver is a mummy mummy that knitted nitta

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

You could say Yarnweaver is really Nitta's mummy?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Yarny will become a christmas sweater

snuffysam

yup, knitted nitta's mummy is a mummy

MathTans the Pun Prince

So, where could the Prince and Princess be hiding that couldn't be seen by a God? Can Nitta use her powers to know where she CAN'T see, thereby leading them to a possible location?

(Sorry for a suddenly intelligent question.)

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

A sweater? There's enough bandage there for a blanket!

@MathTans the Pun Prince --- Hm, I'm not sure Yarnweaver's omnipotent, so that might be working in their favor

MathTans the Pun Prince

I have a blanket denial for that. sweater drop

snuffysam

nitta is typically referred to as a demigod i think? so maybe that's just outside their power

MathTans the Pun Prince

Snuffy: Fair point. Would Yarnweaver know a possible place though, maybe that's what the crypitc map's about?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

5000 ft underground(edited)

O_O

MathTans the Pun Prince

What ground? It's space.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

considering nitta is treated like a kid regardless of nitta's actual age i imagine nitta wouldnt have good control over all the supposed weaving powers

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

there are huge stars in the galaxy

🎵Tenor🎶

@shoona Your style is hard to replicate but AH TRIED !

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

ooooh

it's adorable

MathTans the Pun Prince

Oh wow, that's real good.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

SO CUTE, TENOR

🎵Tenor🎶

THANK

snuffysam

yarny might just straight up know, but he's a jerk and isn't telling. he'd have a hard time telling stories if he didn't know where his characters were.

🎵Tenor🎶

STILL GOTTA PRACTICE CURVES

shoona

@🎵Tenor🎶 OH MY GOSH THIS IS WONDERFUL AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH??????????????? THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

🎵Tenor🎶

And cute 14 year old is excellent excuse lmao

snuffysam

also very cute, tenor!

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe he's hiding the truth from himself.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

maybe it's just ploy of the royalty

MathTans the Pun Prince

Prince: "We need a vacation. Let's wish for a monster attack and go to Tahiti in the confusion."

🎵Tenor🎶

@shoona Glad you like~ <3

klsdjhalk.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

im kind of in between and assume yarnweaver doesnt know. but could know if so desired. just hasnt bothered and is like "eh theyre somewhere. at least those star kingdom ppl arent sending em stuff anymore and i can take a vacation."

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Yarnweaver handwaved their location.

MathTans the Pun Prince

It's all about vacations.

IN SPACE.

🎵Tenor🎶

Maybe they wanted a baby star and to do that you needed to jump through legal hoops and they said screw that and found a way to dip out :D

MathTans the Pun Prince

I think that's the lemon Yarnweaver was writing.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

omg

math

🎵Tenor🎶

Hey ain't gotta write lemon for people to want a bby.

For all we know they just gotta cheek nuzzle and a baby pops out from the sparks

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

maybe theyre dead and ellie and marble become the new star royalty.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

They're star people, all you need is sufficient gravity and matter

MathTans the Pun Prince

But not too much, or you get a black hole.

🎵Tenor🎶

fFFf

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Well, depends on how much matter you have clumped together

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

LOOOL

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yis. It matters.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

now i like to think they havent returned cause theyre collecting stardust so they can make that baby

and are flying around with huge nets

✨Respheal✨

Playing katamari damacy with stardust(edited)

MathTans the Pun Prince

Is it Ziggy stardust?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

QUESTION 4. The comic deals with several themes regarding family, self-confidence, and love. In particular, though, confidence plays a big role within the story. What do you think Ellie and Marble will learn about confidence over the course of their adventure? Will they both find themselves more confident after the adventure, or will there still be some kinks to work out? How might their lives change with a change in their self-confidence? Likewise, how might their lives change in general after the adventure (especially considering Ellie more or less ran away from home)?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

OMG RES

🎵Tenor🎶

Res + Rebel: Yup. Now my headcanon.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

what if they are playing katamari damacy

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Marble will learn not to be as much of a grouch.

snuffysam

assuming this isn't a dream, talia is probably pretty worried

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

And to forgive himself for not having gone to help his sister. He's a kid!

Marble needs to learn how to be a kid!

MathTans the Pun Prince

I think Marble's confidence will grow, like when he used that grappling hook like a BOSS.

snuffysam

actually how long has it been so far? like one day?

MathTans the Pun Prince

One day I think, yes.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

Ellie will learn that not all wishes has to come true

🎵Tenor🎶

4. I think just this twist with the Yarnweaver (Who I keep typing as yawnmaster for some reason) really showed the confidenc eblow and learning about finding one's footing because without a 'leg' to stand on you can have all the hope and tenacity you want but it won't get you anywhere. You need that focus to go with your drive or you'll miss your mark. I'm pretty sure they got more to explore though, we just got to see the tip of the iceberg. :D

MathTans the Pun Prince

Sometimes when you get what you wish for, it wasn't what you expected at all.

Pffffft, yawnmaster.

🎵Tenor🎶

He'd kill me I'm sure-

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Yawnmaster seems like a dig Ellie might throw at him

🎵Tenor🎶

LOL

omg I'd die

MathTans the Pun Prince

"Just go to sleep!"

shoona

i love it xDDD

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

(edited)

MathTans the Pun Prince

Has a master's degree in yawning.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

@🎵Tenor🎶 those are some excellent points about hope and tenacity and i really loved the comic played it that way.

Joichi the Comic Artist

rofl! master's degree

MathTans the Pun Prince

Truth. Granny's pretty good at imparting the wisdom too.

She's also great at rolling with the punches.

🎵Tenor🎶

I bet Granny's seen some shit in her time

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah i hope they visit granny lots. granny is wise and i think makes a good grounding element for the kids being...well kids

snuffysam

yeah i love how granny is the person to go to at the end of the day. or when things get too heavy to handle.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Granny used to run a tea shop, maybe. Had to close down. Yarnweaver misses her tea.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

or the opposite. yarnweaver wants to open a tea business and had to make sure granny was put out of business

Nattosoup

ohhh snap, cut throat

🎵Tenor🎶

LOL Had nothing to do with the royals, needed granny's shop destroyed

shoona

xDDD

i love this AU y'all are spinning

🎵Tenor🎶

Hey until shown otherwise it's potential canon ;D /shot

shoona

Ellie of the Stars: Tea Wars

🎵Tenor🎶

LOL

Yes xD

MathTans the Pun Prince

Prince and Princess won't come back until the tea shop's reopened.

That's all they need to do.

Nattosoup

they were all just a ploy

🎵Tenor🎶

The star they're now on is the last place to get that special blend untli the shop is reopened.

MathTans the Pun Prince

"special" blend.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

so the whole adventure is them figuring out how to reinvigorate granny's love of tea while hoping yarnweaver doesnt get that small business loan

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yarnweaver tried to use Nitta as collateral. Didn't go well.

shoona

oh no!!!

MathTans the Pun Prince

We haven't talked that much about Marble and his sister. That was a nice relationship, I thought.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i really want to know why he was living with his sister tho.

MathTans the Pun Prince

I thought it was just while he was in town.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

XD

Joichi the Comic Artist

yeah I really like Marble and his sister River's relationship

MathTans the Pun Prince

Right, that's the name!

🎵Tenor🎶

Why didn't Marble go ohme. Not like he can't drive places >__>

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i thought it might be just cause he was in town. but maybe it was a perma solution.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Can't afford the gas.

Joichi the Comic Artist

hahah was he driving a spaceship without a license?(edited)

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

what tenor said

why hasnt he gone home

unless his parents are dead

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Good question

MathTans the Pun Prince

He doesn't want to go home without his sister, maybe.

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

is there any food at the house

or a bed?

shoona

LOL so this is something that will sortof be touched on later!!!

MathTans the Pun Prince

Oooh, spoilers.

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Poor marble :<

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

mmm spoiled rotten

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

aww marble

MathTans the Pun Prince

I wonder if Ellie reminds Marble of his sister in some ways? Maybe that's why he went to check her out?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

maybe. i think marble was just desperate tbh XDXD

MathTans the Pun Prince

(Did River have a loud voice?)

There's that too.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

couldnt find anyone whod help

was just like "okay first person theyre the one."

i wonder what he was doing in ellie's part of the galaxy tho

MathTans the Pun Prince

I figured searching for Prince and Princess. Though I guess he hadn't questioned the locals yet, since he talked to Ellie about doing that.

Seems like that'd be a better first step. Unless locals didn't like to talk to him.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

are there locals besides granny O_O

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Marble might have been looking for his sister, too

MathTans the Pun Prince

I guess I somehow figured his sister's with the Prince and Princess. Still trying to protec.

Rebel: There must be. Who would she play bridge with?

snuffysam

so if marble is away from home looking for his sister (and the royals)... i guess he's technically a runaway too?

did all three main characters run away from home to go on this adventure?

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

River left Marble to granny tho(edited)

snuffysam

oh yeah true

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

granny is a really bad babysitter

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

granny pls

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

Granny: Oh you're going on a deep space adventure, Marble? Well have fun.

Nattosoup

how old is Marble though, I assume he's the same age as Ellie, ish?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

hes 12

MathTans the Pun Prince

Granny left the keys to the star car right by the front door.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

according to his profile

Nattosoup

oh whoa really? I'd assumed he was older!(edited)

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

same

shoona

he's a baby boy

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

I thought Ellie was younger(edited)

Nattosoup

even 12 doesn't really require much babysitting though

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

derp

Nattosoup

I wouldn't say Granny is a bad babysitter, as she's allowing Marble to experience life

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

Marble's also VERY GROWN UP (don't tell him otherwise)

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Babies can be grown up, right?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i guess it all depends on how far ellie is from the star kingdom. like for all i know marble getting there was just like...a few blocks from granny's house on a space scale

MathTans the Pun Prince

Granny's tagged Marble with a GPS. She knows where he is at all times. ^.^

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

O_O

MathTans the Pun Prince

Marble attend school at all then?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yes

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Marble smart

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

most recent Q&A

which marble's answer makes me go "oh nvm he can space adventure all he wants then i guess"

MathTans the Pun Prince

Well, that was his old school.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

oh if you mean at current

of course not

school gets in the way of ADVENTURE

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

I disliked most of school growing up

it's boring as f

MathTans the Pun Prince

Just wondering if he went out cruising on Friday night, it's been Saturday, and soon he'll need to get back to classes.

Or if Granny will write him sick notes.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

awww granny sick notes >v>

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

@shoona -- what has marble's school life been like?

snuffysam

granny moonlights as a dj

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

tell us(edited)

snuffysam

drops sick notes

MathTans the Pun Prince

I'm sure it's been marbleous.

Not sworded at all.

shoona

@Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨ this might be a LITTLE in the spoiler zone but river and marble attended something that was sortof like a military training academy for knights and such

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

lol

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

so he IS sort of a knight!

Superjusting of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

So much spoilers

shoona

in training!

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ohhh, so he doesn't go to school in the day. Only at knight time.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

not just fully pledge yet

so Marble is not entirely lying

Kabocha, Marquess of ✨Sparkle✨

he has no prince or princess to swear fealty to right now

shoona

right

MathTans the Pun Prince

Well, maybe they should investigate the throne room next. Prince/Princess might have left a clue behind.

Lady Mharz of ✨Pretty Women✨

true

shoona

<v<

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

they left their receipt for their cruise ship
