Smiffina Episodes - Episode 194

Gabriel is still trying to prove to June that he's good enough to stay and that he loves her. She's not buying it. "You let me believe I was your mother! That isn't love! That's evil! I want nothing more to do with you!"

At the station, Gabriel thrusts Jim against the wall and blames him for ruining her life. Jim insists June had the right to know. Smithy happens across them and sends Jim out on a job, taking Gabriel into his office. He asks how June took it... Gabriel continues the lie to him (and Jim) that he's June's son. Smithy offers him support and promises that noone else will find out unless it's from him or June.

June tells Jim it's stirred up a lot of bad feelings and she doesn't know what she wants anymore. He urges June to give her relationship with her son a chance. Later at a job, Gabriel asks her what she's going to do and begs her 'not to take this away from him'. She tells him she's enjoying watching him sweat. Gabriel starts to become more unhinged as June refuses to talk to him, breaking the mirror in his locker with his asp.

June confesses what some of what has happened to Polly as her oldest female friend. Polly asks if she wants to trace her son and she admits that she think she might. Gabriel appears behind June in her car, demanding to know if she's grassed him up. He asks if she's going to and she says no if he can prove himself she'll not tell on him for now. But for keeping quiet she wants the address of her real son.

XISUMA: But uh… I’m feeling confident, I don’t know about you, but I am ready to go. I’ve got geared up, I’m showing my audience my inventory. Got a whole bunch of potions in here-

SPUMWACKLES: (overlapping) Oh, right. So, that should be-

XISUMA: -including this secret weapon.

SPUMWACKLES: What’s- oh, the secret weapon! Yes! You refuse to tell me what it is, I have no idea. It’s cool, I got my own secret weapon, too.

XISUMA: Oh, d'you know what, I was gonna bring?

SPUMWACKLES: (whispering loudly) It’s sand! Don’t tell him, it’s sand!

XISUMA: I can grab some of that right now with this shovel.

SPUMWACKLES: What’s up?

XISUMA: I- I was thinking of bringing a, uh, slowness potion along with me, like a splash one?

SPUMWACKLES: Oh, that is…

XISUMA: (laughs) ‘Cause that’s not against the rules, but like… that’s being a bad sport really, isn’t it?

SPUMWACKLES: Yeah, well, neither is killing Xisuma, that’s not against the rules.

XISUMA: … you don’t wanna do that, I got a good sword right here.

SPUMWACKLES: (laughing) Alright, we’re getting off to a pretty good start.

XISUMA: Yeah, let’s get on with this.

Parting

Don't like the implications of that title...

Nah, I respect it. Maybe running from Magnus is the right choice...

Jon, what the hell are you thinking about?

Damn Martin, alright... Jon, do not try to control this! Bro, this is such a bad idea! There really must be a better choice.

Well, they were bound to have a proper fight eventually but damn.

Jon, do you really think you can just make them leave? I think you're gonna have to kill them if you want them gone.

Okay, new statement?

This is a curious story... How old is Malcolm in this story?

No! I don't like eye stuff! Gross! Hate it!

I hate all of this. The idea of cutting off some tumorous growth of a conjoined twin sound genuinely horrifying.

Reminds me of Tomie, actually... I should read those stories again. They're pretty cool.

Malcolm is straight up not having a good time...

Aw, good on you, Jon.

Celia?

Basira?

Annabelle?! Martin, what have you done?! WHY?! Stupid, idiot, god damn fool!

Oh, she stole the camera from Salesa and he's dead. Messed up but alright...

Of course he went willing. He probably thinks she could help him save Jon and she's probably scheming of a way to fill him full of spiders.

Hilltop? Yep, guessed it just before he said it and I'm equally horrified.

Well, looks like next episode is Jon going to save his boyfriend, I hope?

Diablo IV Episode 194: Dead in The Water

[dtccompendium]

Episode 194: The Poignant Music Box (Part 1)

Haibara says she’s never going to give Conan Apotoxin 4869 antidote ever again. He goes home and meets Haruna-san and her music box. She was bell buddies with Shuugo-san. But he stopped contacting her. This is because he’s dead. But his whole surviving family is interested in the music box because they think it’s the secret to where he hid his 200 million yen stamp, (and they totally want it for sentimental reasons only). They invite them to stay the night, during which strange things happen. This includes the shadow of an old man running past their window, and Nii-san getting hit on the head with grandma’s koto. There are many things Conan still doesn’t understand.

[microclown]

I refuse to accept that Jon went to say "we" and then had to correct himself to "I" because Martin is gone...

Instead I'd like to believe Jon slips into French when he's stressed. And he is alright.

"[...]but that ended up making a real mess of the timeline which we are still trying to sort out. I think me and Michelle Nguyen are cousins now somehow?"

So um did this ever get sorted or are they just cousins now.

[fruity-phrog]

I am a fan of nothing the way I am a fan of a ship being split up where one is in danger the other one doesn’t know about, and so is going absolutely insane desperate to find them

[a-mag-a-day]

I think Jon deserves a bit more credit in the beginning scene... As far as they know, at this point, there are only 2 options: Jon becomes the Pupil or they do nothing.

If you had the power to shift things around, when you just experienced so much suffering and fear, wouldn't you feel like you HAVE to do something? And again, baring in mind that at this point there are only 2 options available, wouldn't it feel like any searching you do would just end with you right back here with this decision?

Jon is acting with what little knowledge he actually has available to him at the moment. This is the Web table or the anchor for the Coffin on a much larger scale.

Though, unlike before, he FINALLY has someone to confide in over his decisions, something he desperately needed 😭

On a lighter note: you can just see the hearts floating around the word "boyfriend" when he says it 💕🥰

I am not sure where the fandom take of "Jon is showing his monstrous side in this argument" is coming from. The desperation in the plan he comes up with (which, before knowing Annabelle's alternative, is a horrible plan and he knows it) is very human and seems to come from a very genuine 'this is the only place I can actually make a difference' place rather than letting his inhuman urge to be "evil and powerful" show. And this is after Martin kept raving about how he's humanity's only hope.

Granted, he needs to talk (or argue) it out to understand how it's a bad idea to appoint himself the jury judge and executioner of humanity but he does and then storms away to mull it over and comes back with a more healthy understanding of the situation

It's Martin here who misinterprets Jon and ends up not trusting him and leaving with Annabelle

[wharfspider]

Dammit, I think I’m cursed to read every issue relating to this Bugle v. Globe side plot out of order. Cool to see that they kept the bit about Peter being put off by Bushkin’s overly-friendly attitude after all this time, though.

Can’t wait for it to eventually drive him back to the Bugle, just like the first time

[sololost]

Mr spoon man is SEXIST?!

[sherbettheaxolotl]

Im still alive I promise

Idk who I'm actually talking to when I announce that I still exist but whatever this is fun

Apologies that I completely forgot to post more stuff about the book thing I talked about a long while ago so I think at this point I'll just post a thing here when it's finally done and post a thing on tiktok.

this will probably take a while cos I'm busy though

[nightwasfound08]
