Buckle up, folks, and prepare yourself for spoilers!
Because we’re going to be analyzing this scene today. And I’m going to explain why Starscream could’ve won.
After D-16’s initial attack, Starscream falls back to recover, and quickly counters with some skilled aerial maneuvers. Here’s a post so you can appreciate it better. Starscream is taking full advantage of his flight ability here. He’s leading the high guard, of course he’s going to be good at flying.
Side note: we don’t know if Starscream is the official leader of the high guard, do we? Maybe he just claimed leadership after they went into exile. It would be fun to think about.
As an extra note: Starscream is using his thrusters to carry both of them, holding D-16 up by the neck.
Extra extra note: D-16 kicks Starscream between the legs.
Now look at this. Here’s when D-16 transforms his foot to kick starscream off.
Tumblr media
It all happens in a split second, but I tried my best to get screenshots.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you get what I’m trying to show?
Tumblr media
Starscream angles his body forward, with the thrusters still on, before D-16 makes contact with him. He sees the kick coming, and he moves to counter it. When he realises he’s not fast enough to counter, he lets go of right D-16 before the impact in order to make sure he’s flung backwards instead of being injured. If he was still holding on, the damage would’ve been far more severe.
Sure, I find it a little surprising that a guy who can fly would fall in his butt, but I think I can explain it away. The thrusters are turned off when he’s kicked, but they return while he’s flying away. I think that may have been accidental. Maybe he intended to right himself midair and fly away but was unsuccessful, maybe he didn’t mean to activate them.
Either way, it contributes to him landing rougher than he would’ve intended. While I’m here, I want to point out D-16’s little swing off the wall to land next to Starscream. Very graceful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right before and right after getting punched in the face. There is momentary surprise, but no fear. He doesn’t flinch, he doesn’t take time to recover. One second of scowling, and then “HIT ME!” He doesn’t even need to catch his breath.
Slowing the scene you can see the punches have Starscream’s neck bent at an over 90 degree angle. Not only does he not react to the pain at all, but he also KEEPS ENCOURAGING HIS OPPONENT.
His body language and behavior is confident while he’s being punched. Only when D-16 turns his attention to the crowd does Starscream attempt to free himself.
He’s intentionally antagonizing his opponent, making D-16 drop his guard and focus on giving the crowd a show, he takes the punches like they’re nothing and only tries to break free when D-16 looks away.
Tumblr media
Focus on Starscream’s hands here. D-16 loses his focus, Starscream is very clearly trying to pry him off.
Tumblr media
And here, just a few seconds later. First his hand is just… sitting there, not making any attempt to pry off the guy squeezing his throat (presumably very painful) and instead continuing to yell (presumably very painful). And then he Grabs and Pulls Him Closer. This isn’t the body language of a person who’s afraid, Starscream was biding his time and waiting for the opportunity to catch D-16 off guard, use a sudden moment of distraction to his advantage.
We only see fear from him at the very end. Only when he sees the arm cannon which is something nobody expected. Not even D-16 himself. From Starscream’s perspective he was waiting for the perfect moment to strike, to overpower an enemy who is stronger but less skilled and experienced than him, all the while giving the troops a good show. And then the guy pulls out THAT THING to his face.
Tumblr media
You can see the moment he knew he fucked up. There’s nothing he can do after that except ask for mercy.
It’s my personal belief that had the battle lasted longer, and had D-16 not discovered his Murder Arm, Starscream would’ve won.
And although I’m not disappointed in this outcome, I would’ve also loved if D-16 had the upper hand physically but still got defeated due to Starscream’s cunning and experience. We would’ve seen Starscream show his talent, and seen that D-16 still has a long way to go.

So, when Danganronpa S was released (and V3's UTDP but I'll get to that later...) Hinata and Komaeda were given noticeably different versions of their pre-existing sprites for their swimsuit versions:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you struggle to see a difference, note Hinata's wider mouth in the swimsuit ver., and Komaeda's narrower eyes and more outlined smirk in his swimsuit ver.
I, along with many people, always wondered, why? Why change these already perfectly fine sprites and, honestly, make them worse? What gives?
Then, I stumbled across something. Back in 2012, before the Japanese release of Super Danganronpa 2, you could play an online monomono machine to win little goodies like desktop backgrounds and profile pictures. Please note these pre-release desktop backgrounds for Hinata and Komaeda:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...So, wait a minute. The sprites used in Danganronpa S aren't new edits, but beta sprites? Older than the ones featured in the original SDR2? Turns out, this website features desktop backgrounds using beta sprites for nearly every character that otherwise never saw the light of day.*
I'm going to go through them one by one, gif comparisons included. This won't be the only post, either! UTDP also has some very interesting likely beta art used in it, too. As well, some of the other sprites featured in Danganronpa S may also be reused beta sprites!
As such, this log will be broken into three parts. This is part 1.
[Part 2 - UTDP (not made yet!)] [Part 3 - DRS (not made yet!)] [Part 4 - Dangan Island (not made yet!)]
*with the exception of UTDP in some cases, as well as some other things I will get to in Part 4.
As said, semi-flashing gifs will be included in this post. They are meant to swap between the beta and final sprites at a fast pace to illustrate the differences (2 frame, half a second each). Be cautious if you have epilepsy.
Also, because of Tumblr's stupid image limit, this post will have a reblog with the rest of the sprites! So please check this post's reblogs, it should be the first one!
Firstly, how do we know these are actually beta sprites? These images are sourced from the Danganronpa fandom wiki, and while I generally trust the wiki's credibility, it's always imperative to fact-check. So, I went ahead and searched Danganronpa's old website on the Wayback Machine and uncovered this:
Tumblr media
A character intro page for Hinata, using this same beta sprite. Now, granted, the only capture of this page is from 2015. Still a year before V3 and a few more before S, but still, it's not the 2012 original. That said, a character intro page for Mioda circa early 2014 looks exactly the same, including the usage of her beta sprite.
And, when you click on the button that says スクリーンショット(Screenshot)...
Tumblr media
You're offered a very obviously beta trial shot. As is common with Danganronpa trials, in development, the actual character portraits are not put in until later, and to substitute, their art reference photos are used, as seen on the left.
With that out of the way, I think it's safe to say these sprite we are about to look at are indeed betas.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's only fair, then, we focus on Hinata first.
(Please note for all the comparison gifs I had to manually size the final sprites to get them as close as possible in aspect ratio. Very minor size difference between sprites is likely a result of this and not an actual detail change.)
Tumblr media
A lot is revealed with a simple gif. Hinata's entire face shape was changed (including ears), not just his mouth. In fact, not just the shape of his face, but the face itself is drawn very differently in the end. The neck of his shirt was raised, as well as tie being redrawn (you can actually see where the new part begins somewhat sloppily). Less notable but still apparent are his bangs being redrawn and shaded differently.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Keeping with consistency, let's check out Komaeda next.
Tumblr media
Yet again, the differences are striking when flipped back and forth. Komaeda's face shape and ear was redone much like Hinata, but not to nearly the same dramatic extent. As well, his entire face was redrawn, notably erasing the black shading under his chin and shortening his eyelashes. Less noticeable, the hair touching his neck is shortened a bit, and the crease line on his hood is more well-defined. They also slightly changed the line art for the first fold in his shirt, the neck at the back of his shirt, as well as his leftmost bang. Interestingly, they either forgot or didn't care to fix the shading to reflect the new placement of these lines. His jacket also has some changes in line art weight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With Hinata and Komaeda out of the way, let's touch on Kuzuryuu.
Tumblr media
This one honestly shocked me. Besides the added detail of him spitting, I didn't notice any difference right off the bat until I overlayed the images, but the differences are night and day. His eyes are made to be less mean and more skeptical. His mole was shrunk and his nose is more 3-dimensional. Extra detail is added to his ear while his hair is redrawn in whole, including it being slightly shorter. What's most interesting is the fact the body was sized up and moved down several pixels, I imagine to change the perspective. Some minor line changes are made to the white undershirt of his suit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It would be improper not to do Pekoyama next.
Tumblr media
Again, just like Kuzuryuu, I didn't notice half of these changes at first. Pekoyama's whole face is slimmed. The outer outline of her hair remains the same, but almost every outline inside of it, including her bangs, changes. (Although, her right twin-tail has a slightly longer end to it.) Her outfit receives minor touch-ups, including a clothes fold on her breast and darker shading by her collarbone. Speaking of, her neck muscles and such have been redrawn. Most interesting to me is the fact Pekoyama's outline is noticeably thicker with action lines in the original beta sprite, but lack them in the final sprite as if somebody used the magic wand tool to edit the background out, editing away some of the jagged black lines in the process. She is the only character where this happens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since she is a major character, let's do Nanami now.
Tumblr media
I wasn't surprised to find Nanami has virtually no difference about her. Her design was pretty much set in stone early on. That said, it's not entirely the same. Though very minor, the thickness of her left eye was increased at the top. As well, shading across her pinky finger was removed. There is also a chance her body is slightly bigger, but that's more likely to be a result of me failing to perfectly match up the two images.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I want to focus on Souda now as he was the first one I did this test with.
Tumblr media
You know, when I first played SDR2, I thought Souda looked kind of scary. His beta is even scarier looking! I can see why they changed it...Every detail on his face is redrawn including his chin, notably his pupil was enlarged and his eyebrows were quirked. Funnily, it seems the clip on his beanie was redrawn, but like Komaeda, they didn't edit the color layer to match the new outline. Some minor line art changes were made to his back hair. The lines for his neck and collarbone were lessened, and the jacket zipper is made more three dimensional. His thumb was fixed too, as well as the lines on his hand.
Also, here's a fun little thing I noticed while replaying SDR2 just a few days ago!
Tumblr media
The sprite used for Souda in the Dangan Island opening is the exact same as the beta sprite! This would be the only time Westerners would catch a glimpse of some beta sprites until UTDP, as keep in mind, these wallpapers were exclusive to the Japanese Danganronpa website.
In fact, Souda isn't the only one with a beta sprite in the Dangan Island opening. I will also be covering that in part 4.
Moving on...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I guess it's only natural we look at Sonia's sprite next.
Tumblr media
Changes like these ones are very interesting to me, because if you did not do a side-by-side like this, you may never see how many minor details were changed. A lot of Sonia's line art was redrawn to be more detailed, such as more lines in her hair, thinner outlines for her braid, and redrawn creases in her shoulders and bow (as well as a redrawn button). Her face is interesting as some very minor changes were made. Some detail is added to both ears (thicker outline on the right, changed line art on the left) and her left eyebrow is slightly edited. She was also given extra eyelashes on both sides. When it comes to such minor changes, it makes you wonder why they bothered at all. I wonder what the development looked like.
Anyways, please check the reblog for the second part! That's where the rest of the characters will be!

My Favorite Expressions in Love Sea Ep. 8
Tumblr media
That's it. That's my (late) intro this week.
But in all seriousness, although I was somewhat prepared because of the additional previews that dropped for this episode, I don't think it's really possible to be fully prepared for how something might hit you until you actually see it. And parts of it didn't hit great, lads.
Just know that I'm using the term 'favorite' from a mostly acting perspective for this week and probably next week too.
Tumblr media
For my own sanity I'm starting off with Mahasamut's fond husband smile. Mostly because I can and I want to but also because we got see a lot of it this episode. The sweetness that I noted last week is still very present.
Tumblr media
I was also very glad to see that Mahasamut has forged a very affectionate bond with Meena.
Tumblr media
Mira, Viviana, you've got no business looking disappointed that your plans aren't working out the way you want them to and lamenting about it in voiceover when you keep playing these games with my girly. Things will progress if you're clear!
Tumblr media
The sweetneeeessssssss.
Tumblr media
Vivi makes the best faces when she's watching Tongrak and Mahasamut be sweet. She can't see the writing on her own wall but she can see it on theirs.
Tumblr media
Viviana! It's not a competition! It's not a race! Where's P'Kit someone go get him and make him have a come to jesus with Vivi. She's even got Tongrak telling her that fiction ain't reality and that she needs to use her words.
Tumblr media
Tongrak, you are gone for this man.
Tumblr media
"Nonsense!" he says. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt anymore, is it, Harry? I do love the sibling energy these two have. They're the Spider-Man meme except they're both clowns calling each other out for not expressing their feelings.
Tumblr media
It's Mahasamut sleeping peacefully like the angel he is while Tongrak wrestles with the fact that Vivi is right for me.
Tumblr media
I expected a lot more smugness and vitriol from Prin given that she's scheming to destroy Tongrak and has done it with such gusto up until now but it says a lot that even she looks disgusted with what she's doing. She won't even let Jak touch her. Turns out even a hell witch has her limits.
Tumblr media
But this man? No such luck.
Tumblr media
He's making this face after being asked to destroy his child. Prin offered him five million (and possibly more) to hurt Rak and he looks happy about it. Giddy even. That's sheer malice. Absolutely beyond fucked up.
Tumblr media
When your adorable teenage niece roasts you for not having any friends and coming to her for advice.
Tumblr media
If "Bet." was a facial expression.
Tumblr media
Who's the cat and who's the canary now, Khun Tongrak?
Tumblr media
Mahasamut's got cartoon hearts floating around his head and baby girl is so done with him.
*holds on to this moment for a second longer*
Tumblr media
I throw roses at Peat's feet every week for how fantastic his face acting is but don't think for a moment that Fort doesn't deserve them too because he absolutely does.
Mut's face was all warmth and smiles when he was alone with Meena, then it became more guarded and cautious when they were approached, then we landed at this when Meena confirmed that the trash in front of them was her grandfather.
Fort's face is naturally very sweet and soft. He's got the opposite of resting bitch face but the fact that he can affect one so well when it's so far removed from what comes naturally to him is all in the eyes.
Look at his gaze. His eyes are normally very sparkly but here they look flat and cold and you can barely see his pupils. These are the dead calculating eyes of a shark and they reveal more hatred than words ever could and that takes TALENT.
Tumblr media
I have to give An props for that too because he's also very good at the shark eyes but he's using them in a different way than Fort is.
Look at this screenshot and tell me it doesn't feel like Jak is looking through Mahasamut instead of at him. I can't quite describe how his face emotes but doesn't show actually genuine emotion, it's very impressive and unsettling.
The only time it felt like Jak was actually feeling something was when he looked happy about fucking with Tongrak's life.
Tumblr media
Save me, adoring smile. Adoring smile, save me.
Tumblr media
VIVIANA! I KNOW YOU DID NOT JUST LET KAIMOOK LEAVE YOUR APARTMENT WITHOUT CHASING AFTER HER TO MAKE SURE SHE KNEW YOU KISSED HER AS YOURSELF!
LOOK AT HER FACE. QUIT FUCKING WITH MY KID AND MAKE YOUR FEELINGS CLEAR.
Tumblr media
Microseconds were all it took to shift from the gentle loving look Mahasamut was giving a sleeping Tongrak to silent rage as he recalled the encounter with Jak. Microseconds.
Tumblr media
Incredulous disgust. I'd lay bets that we all looked like this when we heard Jak say he wanted to fulfill his role as Tongrak's father.
Tumblr media
PEAT HAS MADE THIS EXACT FACE AND I HATE IT. NINA MY BABY YOU'RE SO TALENTED AND IN THIS MOMENT I HATE IT. THEIR EYES ARE EVEN A SIMILAR COLOR AND CATCH THE LIGHT THE SAME WAY.
Tumblr media
IhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIhateit my tiny baby princess this is the look of someone so much older than you IhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIhateitIhateit
Tumblr media
Gone. Besotted. Utterly enamored.
Tumblr media
How could anyone look like this
Tumblr media
when their child is looking at them like this?
Tumblr media
I hate how much Jak is enjoying this and there is absolutely no doubt that he is, it's vile.
It took me a very long time to get Chris Chiu's scream out of my head when I watched Unknown and it's going to take even longer for me to be able to look at An Oliver Poupart without feeling my skin crawl.
Tumblr media
To end this on a high note, I'm going to point out that Mahasamut's shirt isn't just a solid color.
It's TEXTURED.
The straits may be dire but if nothing else, at least it looks like I'm clowning in the right direction. Let me know if you wanna be tagged in these weekly writeups!

Taste
Warnings: Slightly suggestive themes, Valentino existing, slightly messy, I hate this, Velvette enjoying the drama, like almost no dialogue
Word Count: 1K
Summary: You and Vox had a messy breakup. Being petty, you had some things to say when something surfaced about Vox getting back together with Val.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The shockwave felt through Hell was the separation of two powerful overlords, their brands complimenting each other the same way black and green compliment each other. 
It started as small, forgivable things. Forgetting to pick up dry cleaning. Forgetting to order your lunch without tomatoes on it. Not texting between segments to catch up, knowing the both of you had busy schedules and very rarely got to see each other for longer than five minutes during the day. 
You could live with laying beside him at night, listening to every sound he subconsciously made. It wasn't hard falling into his grasp, into his bed, every evening after the final camera cut. 
But when it escalated to missing dinner reservations that had been made weeks in advance for a spontaneous meeting that wouldn't benefit the company and Vox forgetting important dates that had been marked down on all of his calendars since you took up residence in his home and his daily life, everything began to change. 
You tried to be understanding. Work was stressful. Production was low. His viewership went down 2% and he couldn't figure out why. You tried. You really did. 
And it all reared an ugly head when you reminded him for two weeks straight about the reservations made for your birthday, the time and place. Every detail he needed. . . And he didn't show up. 
Then he had the nerve to ask you where you had been when you got back to the condo. 
The answer he had received was a bitter laugh and an explosive argument that ended with you packing an overnight bag and staying with an old friend, just moments after you declared your five year relationship finished.
And all of Hell quickly discovered it, the revelation sending shockwaves through every corner of Hell. It was everyone's favorite relationship to watch from afar, and now it was done? 
You'd cried and been heartbroken in private, having wanted him to care enough to make an effort. You didn't want to break up. You just wanted him to show you that he cared. But it was too late.
In public it was as if nothing changed, except tensions were high between the two brands. You continued on, ignoring every text he sent to your phone, overriding the security you set in place so his messages would send, even though you blocked him.
Then flowers started arriving at your friend's place. Your favorite kind. Each little note attached was written in his all too familiar script, begging you to forgive him. Begging you to just ‘come home’. 
Two weeks of that and you landed back in his bed, wanting to make things work. Talk things out. 
It was raining when you and Velvette exited a shop, but for the first time in a while you had a small smile on your face as she ranted about the whole situation. She was a friend in all of this, shit talking Vox like it was her favorite hobby in the world. It was actually her second favorite hobby. 
You'd been trying to make things work with Vox for almost three weeks and Velvette was still pissed he missed your birthday for no good reason. She knew how much it meant to you.
Her phone buzzed and yours did a moment later. Clicking the notification brought you to Valentino's Sinstagram page where a picture of him and Vox together was already blowing up. 
The slight smile you were wearing slipped from your face. You weren't sad. You weren't angry. . . It was like a numb feeling swept over you as you screenshotted the post, knowing Vox would have it deleted the moment he knew it was there. 
You'd been with him that morning. In his bed. On the kitchen counter. Against the back of the couch. . . And yet their tongues were entwined, clutching each other close as if they'd never see each other again. 
If you zoomed in on the picture, you could even see the small smudge of the cherry red lipstick you wore that he adored on the collar of his shirt.
“That bastard. . .” You muttered, yet your voice was cold and reserved as you switched apps, and immediately began typing. 
Before Velvette could question what you were doing, her phone got another notification and her eyes widened as your post lit up her screen.
Tumblr media
She laughed as you put your phone away, the likes already pouring in alongside comments and retweets.
The plan you had to bring lunch back to the tower flew out the window the moment you saw the picture. It wasn't fair to you, but you weren't about to waste your money on someone like him. 
“What's that about?” Velvette questioned, many possibilities swirling within her mind. 
“We did things. . . Many things just this morning, but I truly hope Valentino likes the way I taste on his tongue.”
Tumblr media
The fallout that came was immediate. Your phone blew up, yet you left it alone, watching the chaos unfold as you sat back with Velvette, eating lunch. 
The two of you picked up dry cleaning, got lunch, and went back to your old friend's apartment to watch everything. 
She watched with amusement as everyone began talking about it, the drama unfolding through the rings of Hell. 
‘TV DEMON BACK WITH PORN DEMON VALENTINO?’ Began circulating quickly, and Velvette was eager to help spread it. It was bad for their image, yes, but once the smoke cleared, it could be wiped from all the servers and everyone would be forced to forget.
Yet some part of you didn't want it to disappear. You wanted everyone to remember. 
You wanted them to remember how Vox tried to do cleanup. 
Remember how Valentino was supposedly unaware of you and Vox working things out. 
Remember how you exposed everyone without naming names. You didn't care. Not anymore. It was funny just how quickly an empire could shake and begin to crumble if one part of the supporting foundation ceased offering that support. 
The shockwave that was felt though Hell, it wasn't because of the very public breakup. 
It was because of you. 
And man, was it great to watch.

The clock:
Ok so I know there are a lot of posts about time continuity and the clock in The Final Fifteen (and tbh I haven’t read all of them so this might not be a New Thought but)
Tumblr media
(Screenshot of a post by @lonicera-caprifolium that shows the time difference)
MY theory isn’t that they stopped time.
MY theory is that we, the viewers, are missing time.
After Crowley leaves, Michael Sheen Aziraphale touches his lips and then we, the audience, see the Metatron come in immediately in show-time.
But the way Michael Sheen Aziraphale turns around and looks when he hears the door open - I think he was expecting it to be Crowley coming back in. He turns around almost expectantly, and he doesn’t try to hide his tears until he realises who has actually come in to the shop. I feel like the way he looks back, he fully wasn’t expecting it to be the Metatron, and you can see his face fall and him steeling himself when he realises it’s not Crowley.
Tumblr media
I think that the missing 15-20 minutes are actually time Aziraphale spent alone before the Metatron came back in, that the cut isn’t actually instantaneous as we’re shown, but actually time Aziraphale spent spiralling and thinking (and planning?).
I’ve seen posts about how Crowley always comes back after a fight, so Aziraphale thought he would come back now too, but it doesn’t actually make sense for Aziraphale to expect him to come back 30 seconds after he left. But 15 minutes later? Maybe.
I’m not sure what my point is exactly, except that this fits in with all the “what aren’t they showing the audience” theories out there and fucking Neil Gaiman better give us back these missing pieces in S3.

JM live 1 September 2023 20:54 or 8:54 pm KST
And a little big about JK's same day live as well.
Part 2
Cr./To creators of content used in this post.
I'm going to dive right in.
Also, not everything I talk about is in the order it's brought up in the live. Just saying. These are ramblings of a blurry mind. Well, sharp and blurry. Just the right combination I say.
Let's talk about the apartment tour, lol.
JM, the master of privacy.
The man that wouldn't even show us his TV, only a cropped screenshot of it when congratulating JK on Dreamers.
The man that over the past close to 2 years since the hiatus, has done every live but one (the Billboard #1) from the company.
Yes, that man.
He not only went live from home (unplanned, which I discussed partially and will probably talk about again later on), from a room we got to see in his previous single home live, but he actually gave us a house tour. Well, somewhat of a house tour. A house ceiling tour with a couple of exceptions, lol.
This tour is divided into 2 parts.
First part was initiated by JM.
And this is important. Because it differentiates between perhaps more pre-thought of and less pre-thought of (more of a spur of the moment thing).
So, after mentioning JK (and reading out the hand comment) JM thinks of this:
Tumblr media
JM wanting to show us his mood lamp. His planet mood light.
Tumblr media
You know what I'm talking about, right? The one with that huge ass sun just right in your face.
He tells us how he simply came to meet us today and he has something to brag about.
Now let's wait up a minute.
He simply came to meet us on JK's birthday adorning his big ass watch starting the live at the time stamp JK was born, like time started counting from that minute and on (for him at least), and now he wants to brag about something that his friend laughed at him about (a grown man sleeping with a mood lamp), which happens to have the sun up front and centre, all huge in it's full glory, for him to fall asleep with (me continuing his story: when his bf isn't or can't be there by his side to fall asleep with).
Yep. All of that!
Ok, so JM is walking around, taking us to what is clearly his bedroom, camera at ceiling because his place is too dirty (his words) as he wasn't planning to go live from home (funny how plans change). He repeats it btw. Saying "I really didn't intend to."
Pause a second (we might be doing this more than once today). This is me just going back for a second to that same point I made in part 1. JM was not going to do the live from home. He doesn't say he wasn't going to do a live. He says he wasn't going to do a live form home.
JM takes us to his bedroom.
Who would have believed this day would come?
And if talking about not believing a day will come, perhaps me jumping the gun here, but can't hold back the excitement, what about this coming from JM?
Tumblr media
Can't say I'm not shocked.
But then, maybe, just maybe, a little of his bf is rubbing off on him? And maybe, just maybe there is a reason for his sudden openness with us?
Anyway, back to JM's bedroom.
What's this now?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not sure if he intended for us to see this, but we even got a peak at his bed for a millisecond... shock and awe...
*And kind of a downer for those that thought the snore in the dark was JK sleeping in bed. here is bed. Empty. Made. No JK. I guess you win some you lose some, lol.
Now this is where I got a little confused first time watching this. I actually thought that JM took the lamp from his bedroom to another room so to not be in his bedroom. Cause he sits down, fiddles around with something. Then gets up again and walks around, camera at ceiling (which was very confusing). But watching it a second and third time I think that he was setting the lamp up, connecting it perhaps, and then got up to close all the doors (bedroom door, bathroom door, closet door and who knows what other door) to go dark so we can see the beautiful projection.
And him having to connect the lamp, does it kinda maybe mean that he doesn't use it every night, mainly because who needs to fall asleep looking at the picture of the sun when the sun is right besides you in bed? Food for thought.
This is what he shows us at first.
Tumblr media
He then turns the camera around to show other planets. But he always goes back to the sun. And makes sure to explain to us that it is the sun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And while, once more, focusing on the sun says: "It's pretty, right?"
It definitely is.
Tumblr media
And when he does his whole foot up in the air (I don't think he was pointing, because when he wanted to point he did it with his finger, pointing at the sun) caressing or whatever you want to think he was actually doing, it's with the sun.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know what came to mind first thing I saw this?
JM and his love for playing footsies with JK.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, and if I'm already going down memory lane, we have JK too.
Tumblr media
Back to business.
I find it funny how JM on the one hand says multiple times he wanted to brag to us about the lamp, and then says it's embarrassing that a man nearing 30 sleeping with a lamp. And he talks about the friend appalled by it, lol. That a guy who lives alone (he repeats this) sleeps with a lamp. I guess that when you can't have the sun with you then a projection of it on the ceiling has to do.
JM adds: "these days I look at the ceiling and space out" - looks at the lamp projection that is. And when he says "these days", once again I'm thinking of it being due to JK's clearly super busy schedule.
So yeah, that was more or less part one of JM's house tour.
At this point JM turns off the light and walks back to the PC room (still only letting us see the ceiling as he is moving through the house).
He sits back down and tells us he is living his life like this.
Tumblr media
He's sitting there reading comments for a few seconds and then he reads this one out:
Tumblr media
Welcome to part 2 of the house tour, lol.
He straight away says: "you can see the secret room", grabs the camera and off he goes (again camera at ceiling of course), and asks himself "what are some things I can show?", while obviously there is still very much more that he doesn't want us to see.
He says "I will show just this one then", following by saying he really didn't want to show "my room", and then we are in his gym.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shows us his treadmill, tells us "this is my secret room...right here."
So, let's pause for a second here before we move on.
JM clearly decided it's time to share with us (without saying it out loud) that he is boxing. A lot. The hands (he left raw for all to see) and showing us his gym as well.
JM has a punching bag at home.
No biggie, right?
He has a full proper gym at home, much like Tae does, and most likely the others too, well most of the others, because JK doesn't. JK, until a short while ago, didn't have any workout equipment at home. Let alone a punching bag. THE boxer in the group does not have a punching bag at home. And do we talk about the fact that all of his workout equipment, the little that he does have, is in his lounge room? I digressed. As usual. Anyway, now we know for sure (as if we didn't before) that JM is clearly boxing, and all that is left to see is his set of boxing gloves.
And then, JM goes to show us his dad's bedroom, for when he visits him. JM asks himself if there is anything he can show us from dad's room, answering "vacuum cleaner".
Tumblr media
JM walks out of that last room, he looks around, nods with his head (looked like he was contemplating something but decided on NOPE), and walks back to the PC room.
End of house tour.
While on the way there he tells us how his parents "came over to my house and said this..."your house really has nothing, it's like a model house. It doesn't seem like a person lives here. Do you want us to change a bit?".
Ok, so JM's been living in that apartment at the very latest since May 2021. Over 2 years!! And in that time his parents must have visited multiple times. We know at least of once back in October 2021, so a long time ago. JM isn't telling us when exactly this was said to him, and timing, my friends, is everything. There is a before and an after that might be going on here. And It's kind of curious how at this point in time both JM's place and JK's place are lacking in the feeling of a home in the true sense of it. Lacking in adding their little personal touch to the place. Giving them both, at this point, the feel of these places being a temporary fix. Just until perhaps a certain 5 story house is built.
Do I address the marimo discussion and how it turned into a Suga discussion? Was that JM shutting down Yoonminers? Lol.
JM reads out a comment "I miss Jin and Jhope" and tells us he's thinking of going to visit them.
JM continues to read through the comments and reacts to them, this is around the 29 min. mark. You think the hand comments don't continue again? Like he hasn't addressed it 10 times already during this live. He smiles through it, but seriously!!!!
One comment has him giggling : "In my last dream you went out with me but I got dumped". Lmao. At least they were being realistic. His answer was: "I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional". Ehm, excuse me, but to me dumping feels very intentional. Lol.
Tumblr media
One of the most annoying comments, well in my humble opinion, was the one asking him why the chocolate factories have closed. Poor man was waiting and waiting on a reply on that one, so much so he was putting off finishing the live, he was seriously curious, only to have this stupid ass punch line about him being sweet. From the expression on his face when he finally read the answer he was probably thinking "this is what I was waiting for?", lol.
JM's asked about his skin care routine to which he answers: "it's nothing, I just wash up, and I just apply it on my face. Just the cream". Thing is later on as he's closing up he says he has to go wash up but:
Tumblr media
Curious.
Didn't he just tell us all about it earlier? Or was this him just being cheeky?
JM tells us he goes for a run in the middle of the night and runs into RM.
Tumblr media
Quite interesting that the first time he noticed RM's poster was almost 2 weeks after it was placed there. Especially now that we know from him he's out jogging every night. Was he possibly away for a while? Perhaps not alone?
JM was asked about dramas he's watched and answered he hasn't watched many lately.
Tumblr media
I guess JK being busy is the cause for that. We know for a fact that they watch shows together.
Then he's asked "show your 7 tattoos", to which JM answers:
Tumblr media
"You saw it yesterday. Photos went up. Really...I saw that...Definitely...I'm an anchovy." giggle giggle giggle. "Anchovy...phew..." giggle..."just laugh at it and move on..."
Lol, I'm sure he's also referring to him standing on his tippie toes for the pose, trying to seem bigger and taller than he is.
Now wait a second here.
The comment asked him to show his 7 tattoos. Not "show your moon tattoo". Not "show your back tattoo". Clear as day talking about his 7 tattoos, and JM was the one to read it out!!!
So, obviously that riske (not really, but clearly an eye opener) photo he posted for JK's birthday was on his mind. Or is it more so that JK is on his mind?
JM's told he needs to sleep well. The man says it's rare, but he actually slept well today. Usually when he has schedules he doesn't sleep well. But:
Tumblr media
I guess something, or someone, helped tire him out.
And yes, I can hear the guys on the balcony with the "if he slept so much he couldn't have been with JK". Yeah-nah. Have we not seen these guys schedules? Did I not talk about it in part 1? Night and day are non existent. JM slept 8 to 9 hours and came out - to his schedule, in the evening. These two go to sleep in the morning and wake up at noon. Even in JM's last live, when he was talking about having a proper schedule, including a proper sleep schedule, he was talking about sleeping in late. So no, him sleeping properly doesn't rule out them spending the night together. JM doesn't tell us when he went to sleep or when he woke up. Actually, the way he words it, it's more like he slept till late and woke up in time for his Dior schedule.
Pretty much this was where JM was wanting to end the live.
Tumblr media
And starts to sum it up.
After a few more comments JM winds it up saying his goodbyes.
Tumblr media
And that was the end of JM's live on JK 's birthday.
Oh, btw, remember I said that when I first saw JM's live photo I mistook it for JK? How those pants seemed a little big on him? Well came across this today:
Tumblr media
I'm not 100% sold those are the exact pair of pants, but they sure look similar. And even if they aren't same pants, well my point in part 1 was proven - the pants being exactly the style that JK wears.
I had one more thing I wanted to talk about, which I'm not sure about, but thought it would be good to mention.
About the 12 minute mark JM is talking about taking lessons in English. And he was saying it's hard but he has to force himself to do it, cause otherwise he won't do it. And then he talks about how people get lazy and gives an example. And here is where I found something a little curious. There I go with that word again.
The word of the day: Curious.
Anyway, JM gives an example. And he words it like this:
"You know there is this. I came home as it is like this... It's 9:07... I think that I should wash up at 9:30... But we don't wash up... And later, when it's 1 in the morning... I should really wash up. To sleep...I must wash up. You also know this happens".
And he's giggling the whole time.
Did you notice? The switch from I to we?
Now, it could be him talking about him and us, but I kind of don't think it was, as he starts with I and goes to we and then back to I.
It could also definitely be a slip of the tongue.
You know who the we he might be talking about is. That plus one that turns I to we. That certain plus one that has told us on multiple occasions how he dislikes to wash up before sleep, delaying the inevitable as much as possible, also using that term lazy with regards to it.
Just thought I'd share this little thing I notices with you guys before I finish up with this post.
I feel like this part of my post is a little more all over the place (a bit like JM perhaps, lol). Maybe a little too much blurry and not enough sharp, lol. But hey, I guess it is what it is.
So, we had JK doing the short live nothing like his usual birthday lives, and then later in the day JM coming live, unplanned. Well more so unplanned from home. Could they have been planning to do a live together at Hybe? Could JK have been planning to and asked JM to go live in his place seeing he's held up?
Who knows.
What I do hope is that next time it's not going to be the two live on the same day, but rather the two live same day same time same place.
Tumblr media
Here's wishing.

Tumblr media
This shot is going to haunt me for at LEAST the next couple months. Like. It's driving me insane. And it's all because of one stupid, tiny detail.
Tumblr media
The blood drips on Vox's mouth
Now, there are 3 reasons this is bothering me so much. 1 is obviously the fact that THEY ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HIS MOUTH, 2 is that there's no real reason the blood drips would be appearing in this moment, and 3 is that this is part of a sequence where VAL AND ANGEL ALSO BOTH HAVE PINK LIQUID DRIPPING FROM THEIR MOUTHS.
Now, there are possible, very reasonable explanations for the blood drips(which I feel the need to clarify have been CONSISTENTLY on the left side of his mouth in every shot except for like one other): it could be an animation error, simple as that. It could also be that they just switched the sides so the blood drips would be more noticeable, but I'm not really sure why they would do that? Because A, I edited the screenshot so that the blood drips are in their normal position and it literally looks fine
Tumblr media
And B, why would it be extra important for us to know the drips are THERE unless they have some kind of significance in the context of Poison? Every detail in an animated show is deliberate because each panel literally has to be drawn out. If they flipped Vox's blood drips to the other side in this scene in order to draw attention to it, then there's a REASON behind it, there is something important going on here.
I think it's also important to acknowledge the only OTHER time Vox's blood drips have been on the right, this shot in the finale:
Tumblr media
Though in this shot there's also an extra drip on the left, and the two on the right are both different sizes, which. Isn't how they normally look. The drips in this frame just overall look a lot more natural then the usual ones? Which I haven't added a picture of yet but they look like this
Tumblr media
Two, same sized red stripes on the left side of his mouth. Anyways those are the only two times they look different, and the two moments have literally nothing in common so I can't figure out why they would be different THERE. The best explanation I can think of for the one from the finale is that a story board artist made an artistic choice(hence the drips looking significantly more natural, mor like Alastor's at the end of Stayed Gone), and then it never got changed or corrected or whatever because the frame where his face is right up in the camera last for like a split second. But Idk. That explanation doesn't really apply to the Poison shot because they look EXACTLY the same aside from being on the wrong side and the Poison shot lasts a lot longer than the close up in the finale does.
I would also like to point out that the drips switching sides is NOT a Val make out session exclusive, because when they're making out in the finale, the drips are still on the left. Like you can see the right side of his mouth in this shot and it's completely drip free.
Tumblr media
That was a LOT of text for just one section but ONTO REASON NUMBER 2!!!!!! There is no reason Vox would be doing the fucking mouth bleeding thing in that scene.
Those blood drips only appear on Vox's mouth when he's really, REALLY worked up. The times we see them he's typically REALLY angry or REALLY excited. Like, emotions that would typically cause an adrenaline rush. And there's no real reason he would be having an adrenaline rush in this scene? Like unless wanting to make out with someone real real bad gives you an adrenaline rush I wouldn't know I'm ace. But even if that IS the case, shouldn't the drips disappear after Angel interupts them?
Tumblr media
There's no energy in his expression when he looks at Angel, no real evidence that he's feeling anything beyond "ugh this guy again". No reason he would still have the drips. And it's not even really an animation thing, because there was plenty of time to get the drips to subtly go away in this shot. But no. They stay for the whole time. Also, while looking through GIFs to find one of this scene, I noticed that Vox literally NEVER has the blood drips when he's frowning. There a couple shots where it would make sense for the drips to appear(like when he calls Adam a pussy for not killing Al), but they don't, and in all of those shots he's frowning. So for this to be the ONLY TIME the blood drips don't dissappear when he stops smiling? Idk seems kinda sus.
Now. The final, and possibly most concerning reason this scene won't leave me the fuck alone: Angel and Val are drooling to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(IM SO SORRY FOR THE HORRIBLE QUALITY I HAD TO GET THE SCREENSHOT FROM A LOW QUALITY REPOST OF THE MUSIC VIDEO OFF OF YOUTUBE-)
It's really, really subtle, like to the point where I didn't actually notice it until I saw somebody else point it out, but in the scene where Angel is breaking down after all the SHIT Val put him through over the course of the Poison music video, he has a little bit of neon pink coming out of his mouth. He then wipes it away, looks at his hand, and turns to look at Vox & Val.
Tumblr media
And Val has it to. All three of them have the same bright pink dripping from their mouths. And granted, Vox & Val are in a very limited color pallette, and the red in Vox's design got swapped for that same bright pink, and his drips are usually the same red as his eyes, but the fact that it's the same color as the spit(?) coming out of Angel & Val's mouths should at least be a little noteworthy, right?
ALSO!!!!!!! I literally just now put this together- the pink substance is coming off of the right side of Vox and Angel's mouths, but the left side of Val's. It's a small detail, but given that the main reason this scene is driving me up the goddamn walls is that Vox's drips are ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HIS MOUTH, there's gotta be something to it.
Anyways, these points have all been driven into the ground already. Everybody and their mother have been taking this scene and analyzing it, saying the same shit I just did in a bunch of different ways. I'm rehashing all of this because it's relevant to the conversation, but at this point it's kinda like just pointing out the obvious. BUT! I do want to try bringing something new to the table, something that might ALSO explain why Vox's drips are on the wrong side(again, same side as Angel's), so bear with me here:
I've pointed this out before, but Poison is a pseudo dream sequence. It's constantly cutting back and forth between Angel living it up vs him suffering extensively. This is the most obvious during the dance sequence with the giant blue screens(which I cannot provide a GIF of bcuz I have already reached the image limit for this post-). The very obvious dichotomy is meant to show us how Angel uses his mask to cope with the constant abuse, he literally says he's dissociating in the song, but it ALSO means that a lot of the stuff we're seeing in this sequence isn't literal. The scene with Vox and Val might be part of that.
Vox and Val are in a very different color pallette from everything surrounding them. They're both colored in dark blues and neon pink, purple & blue. The demon beside them, however, is not. That demon is colored more naturally. And while, from a technical stand point, I think it's mostly just to make sure Vox & Val pop and are the center of our attention, it could ALSO mean that this is specifically a part of Angel's dream sequence. It's how Angel sees them. And Vox's drips are on the wrong side.
Now, I don't wanna say that this means Angel feels that Vox is in a similar situation to him, because it feels. Weird. But then again, this shot is the only thing we have on Angel's view of Vox! We know plenty about how Vox views Angel, it's not like. Specific. It's just pretty obvious that Vox Does Not Like Him. But we have nothing concrete on Angel's view of Vox(or Velvette for that matter but that's not relevant rn). Which is interesting, because Angel DEFINITELY has oppinions on him. Vox is dating Valentino, Angel's abuser, and never does anything to stop the abuse. That's gotta lead to some built up resentment, y'know? But all we have right now to show us Angel's view of Vox is something that, if you look deep enough, seems to imply he feels more empathetic towards the guy then anything else? Again, Vox and Angel's pink drips are on the right. Valentino's pink drips are on the left. Vox's blood drips are almost always on the left. But they aren't here. They're on the same side as Angel's. You see what I'm getting at here? Wether Angel is RIGHT about Vox being "on the same side" as he is remains to be determined, but still.
Anyways, I could just be over thinking this. I have a long, storied history of taking small details that are probably just mistakes and blowing them completely out of proportion. Ask literally any of my friends abour Bird Teeth and they will confirm. Plus, I'm probably gonna end up over thinking this shit for all of May and completely change my mind on what the reversed blood drips mean, I have a tendency to do that. But for now this is my theory; the reason Vox's blood drips are on the wrong side of his mouth in Poison is because Angel views Vox as being in a similar situation with Valentino to the one he himself is in. Not the exact same, but similar enough to warrant sympathy at the very least.

MODERN AO'NUNG HCS — PT. 3
pairing. ao'nung x fem!reader
summary. human aonung hcs
warnings. none
Tumblr media
masterlist. pt. 1 pt. 2
Mans definitely is going for an ATAR course and for his HSC ‼️‼️
I feel like the main classes he chose are:
- Music
- Art
- Maths
- English Advanced (only because you prob do it)
- Marine Studies (cmon now fishlips)
- SLR, the only non-ATAR subject because it's more of a chill subject.
Hates math with passion, only chose it because you chose it.
If he isn't in one of your classes then he loves to leave class at least five minutes early to walk to your class and wait for you
Some teachers have caught him walking out, but it's the second term of school, they're already used to him doing this
Term 1: "Miss, what the fuck is that right behind you? Is that a spider?!" Ao'nung screams frantically, pointing behind the female teacher with his eyes widened and mouth gaped.
"What!? What is it!?" The teacher yells as she turns around to the white wall that faces her. An empty, blank wall painted with nothing. Confused, she turns back around and sees a tall figure run out the door.
Term 2: "Miss, there's a big ass fucking spider on your shoulder!" Ao'nung yells, a slender finger pointing to the teacher's shoulder. "Ao'nung, leave already," The teacher rolls her eyes as she was already used to his stupid tricks.
"Oh, okay." 🧍‍♀️
During the break, all people see is 👫
If you do food tech as one of your classes, bro's begging for you to save him some food that you made in class.
"I had theory instead of prac today, I'm sorry, Nung. I didn't make anything today, but I made lunch," you giggle as your boyfriend's heavy weight drops on your back, pulling you into a hug. His long ass arm wrapping around your shoulder. "That teacher of yours is a stank ass liar-"
A cough from the sideline erupts, causing you both to turn your heads. There, stood a mid-thirty-year-old man, tapping his foot aggressively, eyeing your boyfriend down. "What was that, Ao'nung?"
Let's say you got into a fight once...
You ate that shit up.
Having a fine ass man like him, people can't help but stare respectfully
Others.. not so much.
Others really can not take the hint, or even the answer no. Especially, and specifically, a girl in your class named Ray. Yes, the same girl from before. A few months after the incident of Ray texting your man, after multiple times blocking her, it seemed she didn't care after she made a new account. Her non-stop texts weren't harmful at all until she sent a rayraybae: I'm better than her in so many ways, just let me in your room and I can prove it ;) No doubt your man screenshotted it and sent it to you straight away! 🤣👏
The very next day, you rock up to her class and confront her, to which she just laughs in your face. Already prepared to hit, you put your hair into a tight ass fucking bun and tie your hood up, then proceeding to punch her square in the face. Turning into a whole fight where students walk in for class, only to whip out their phones to record.
Let's bffr, it's a high school fight. It either turns into a whole ass fucking brawl or a 1v5 or wtv. (I've seen it at my school personally or on Twitter so 🤞) For the sake of this, let's say no one jumps in.
Along the sideline, you can hear Ao'nung screaming "Yeah! Yeah! Get her ass!"
When you're finally pulled away by Ao'nung you both bolt out of the room and out the gates.
You both aren't big fans of skipping school, but today seemed like an exception.
Tumblr media
this is so booty cheeks and so short, I'm so sorry 😭😭♥️♥️♥️ @yourstrulyyyyy

i had to redress some of them in an attempt to match the companion fits I gave each of them (so there's some, uh, obvious overlap). but man this was fun to put together! i couldn't subvert em's clipping but ah well close enough/ totally not realizing how i could've actually fixed her look literally this second. i am not re-making hers.
the process also required me to regain Rohku's oath THEN change his class to take the screen recording so that was extremely funny to me. also scarlet's is the rogue one because she's a modded class with no animations, and she started out as a rogue before i respecced her! felt right.

Day to Day Norm Pt.8
Norm Spellman x F!Quaritch!Recom!Reader
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the fanart, screenshots, or gifs used with my stories.
Warnings: Violence, reunions, tsaheylu.
Part 7
Tumblr media
As everyone in Simmens squad was distracted watching his last moments, you subtly leaned down to whisper to the kid.
"For the love of Eywa please tell me you called your dad." You whispered and he looks at you surprised and you gesture at your neck. A look of realization crosses his features and he turns back around to watch the other group. After a moment he barely nods and you sigh in relief.
"Good. When we tell you to run, you run. There's only so much time we can buy you and your siblings." You tell him and he subtly nods again. You sniffed the air and turned toward your dad. "It's almost eclipse." You tell him quietly. "And it's about to rain." At the second part, he seems annoyed but then a smile breaks out across his face.
Either time was moving extremely slowly, or Jake had gotten slow. Either way, your group just needed him to get there soon. Eclipse had fallen and the rain was coming down hard. Your hand gripping the queue of the Na'vi boy loosened ever so slightly when you heard Neytiri's call. All the kids responded by looking around while you subtly nodded to your dad that they were there. The moment an arrow sunk into the head of one of Simmens' men he called out.
"Is that you Sully?" He asks.
"We will kill you however many times we must, demon!" You hear Neytiri call out. Another arrow buries itself into another one of Simmens' men.
"Now!" Your Dad calls out. "Defensive perimeter 'round the kids!" Your group forms a circle around the kids slowly pushing them in the direction Neytiri's arrows came from. Simmens and his men finally caught onto what you were doing and they were nolonger focusing on Neytiri.
"Run!" You yell at the kids and they all take off with the exception of Spider. "Spider I said run!"
"Not without you!" He argues back and your dad gestures with his head to follow them. Your group was running a little ways behind you but keeping a distance between you and Simmens. You were about to run across a fallen tree when something heavy collided with you. You skidded away from the tackle and pulled out your knife with a hiss expecting one of Simmens' men. You were met by a young male Na'vi with his teeth bared and you rolled your eyes. You roll your eyes and tear off your name from your vest and shove it in his hand. He becomes confused but you just grab his arm and start pushing him to follow his siblings.
"You give that to Jake or Neytiri and tell them we're ALL back. Go! My dad and I will try to get them off of your trail." He continues to stare at you and you repeat what you just said in Na'vi and he immediately takes off after his siblings. You pull out your bow and spot Spider hovering nearby ready to run when you were.
"Spider go! It's not safe here." You tell him as you notch an arrow and released it into the head of one of Simmens men.
"Not without you and Dad." Spider says and you shake your head.
"We're the distraction kid. Get outta here while you can." You tell him and your Dad shouts for everyone to run. "Fuck nevermind no time." You grab Spider and he slings onto your back as you take off running.
"(Y/n) what is he still doing here?" Lyle asks and you grunt as you fling yourself onto the next tree trunk.
"He didn't wanna leave without me and Dad so he's along for the ride." You call out and Lyle sighs exasperated.
"Is everyone in your family this stubborn?" Lyle asks and your dad laughs.
"If you can't handle one of us you can't handle all of us." Your Dad tells him and Lyle groans.
"Maybe it's a good thing I never got the chance to be with you." Lyle says and you shake your head as you continue to focus on running. Leading Simmens away from the Sully's but all their commotion from running stops and you look behind you. All of his men are retreating back and everyone in your group runs ahead a little more and finally stops to breathe.
"Holy shit." Z-Dog says and you side fist bump her.
"We totally just did that." You say and Spider slides off of you.
Meanwhile back at High Camp, Jake was pacing as he was thinking. Neteyam approached him and waited for his father to stop pacing. Finally, Jake stopped and sighed and took notice of his eldest son.
"I was told by one of the women from the clearing to give this to you." Neteyam says as he hands your name tag to Jake. "And to tell you that they are all back." Jake ran his thumb over the tag in his hand and hastily grabbed a picture from a nearby table.
"The woman who gave it to you, did she look like this?" Jake asks as he shows a picture of you, Jake, Grace, and Norm all in your avatars.
"Yes but her stripes were different." Neteyam said and Jake released a panicked breath.
"Even though it's her they still could've been caught or killed... They could have Spider. He knows everything." Jake starts to spiral in panic again and Neteyam goes and gets his mother to help his father. Jake stops panicking enough to tell Neytiri everything.
"We have to leave because they could've captured Spider. That kid knows the whole operation inside and out." Jake tells her and Neytiri shakes her head.
"We should wait a few days. If they were not caught Spider might come here with (Y/n) and her father." Neytiri says and Jake shakes his head.
"We need to leave soon because what if Simmens comes with Spider instead? If the clan is caught harboring us they could die." Jake argues back and an argument between the two ensues. Finally ending with Neytiri agreeing with Jake to leave the forest with their family. So about a day later after Jake had been 'killed' and Tarsem was made Olo'eyktan. The Sully family left the forest to seek the safety of the reefs.
"Don't eat that or you'll die." You tell Lopez and he nearly throws the small poisonous plant. You walk away and grab some yovo fruits and banana fruits from nearby. You rubbed your brows as you tried to figure out your next step. You placed the fruits on a large leaf in the middle of the group.
"What's our next step?" Lyle asks and you and your dad look at eachother.
"We get Spider back to his people and we ask them to help us figure out where we go next." Your Dad says and Spider nearly flies off of the tree he's been sitting in.
"Woah, woah, woah. No. No way. You're not gonna drop me off and leave." Spider says and your dad sighs.
"You don't understand all of the horrible things I did back when I was human. All the pain and chaos that I caused and... I don't want to be a reminder of that for them." Your Dad says and your ears perk forward.
"We could be a nomad tribe." You say and everyone looks at you confused. "They exist... They're rare but they exist. They're typically tied to a clan for trade reasons, but they never just stay in one place." You say and Spider scoffs.
"Why don't you guys just come back with me and I can talk to Norm and Max and they can help me talk to Jake about getting you guys in? They're your friends and family. Norm wears your songcord next to his everyday and when I was growing up they would tell us stories. Neytiri would tell us about how she met you and Jake and how you changed the heart of a demon. Jake used to tell us about all of your embarrassing and funny stories. Norm and Neytiri would team up to tell the story of when you cemented your fate to be next to the people... Both of you. How you sacrificed yourself to save her. She hasn't forgotten what your sacrifice allowed her to do." Spider says and you let out an airy chuckle scoff.
"If we were on Earth I'd tell you to go into politics." You tell him and everyone laughs with you.
"Oh ha ha. Very funny, but I'm being serious." Spider says and you fidget with your fingers as you and your dad have a silent conversation through your eyes. He shakes his head to show he wasn't for it, but you ropp your eyes and give a pointed look at Spider then back to your dad. He sighs and his shoulders sag.
"Fine. We'll do things your way Spider." Your Dad says and Spider smiles wide.
"Alright once everyone is rested and they've eaten we'll go." Spider says happily and you chuckle. After you're all finished eating you sit and chat for a little while until Spider hops up.
"We gotta get a move on. If we want to make it back to High Camp by tomorrow we should go now." Spider says and everyone gets up allowing the teenage boy to lead everyone.
"Why isn't (Y/n) leading us?" Mansk asks.
"Becauae I don't know where they live now. Hometree was destroyed... Remember?" You ask him and he looks away.
"Right I forgot. Sorry." Mansk says and Ja claps him on the shoulder.
"It's alright she's been like a loving encyclopedia the whole time we've been here. I kind of thought she would know too." Ja says and you shake your head and continue walking. Spider was quick and lively and definitely in his element as he maneuvered through the forest. You were jostled from your thoughts when Spider stopped at the bottom of the entrance the Hallelujah Mountains. It was nearing eclipse do the sun was slowly disappearing behind Polyphemous.
"I hope you're all ready for a climb." Spider says as he starts climbing up the rocks and trees.
"Spider wait that's dangerous." Your Dad says and you scoff.
"Wait until you have to tame an ikran at the highest point of the mountains." You tell him and he gulps as he looks up. "Plus I've done this before so... You'll be fine. Just don't look down." You tell him as you and Spider start climbing next to eachother. You continuously stop and make sure that everyone in your group was still there. When you finally reached a flat area with a cave opening Spider motions to it.
"We live here now. We have for the last few years." Spider says as he walks in with you and your dad following right behind. Your eyes open wide with wonder and sadness. Not living in a tree must be hell for the Omatikaya. Mobile units are everywhere and soon your group is surrounded by warriors and villagers alike. Your hands go up to show you aren't a threat and Spider waves them off.
"Guys it's okay. They're not dangerous. Atleast, not to us. This is my sister (Y/n) and my dad Miles. This is their squad Lyle, Mansk, Ja, Z-Dog, Zhang, Prager, Lopez, and Brown." Spider introduces you and one of the younger warriors ears perk up.
"Wait... (Y/n)?" He asks as he looks at you but you don't recognize him. "Setxä. You saved my sister and I from the wreckage of Hometree?" He says and your eyes widen in disbelief.
"Wow... You got big." You say and he laughs.
"It's been 15 cycles." He says and you sigh.
"It has been a long time." You say and Spider finally jumps into the conversation.
"Hey where's Jake? We need to talk to him." Spider says and Setxä looks down.
"He is gone. They left yesterday because they feared our safety if you were to be caught by the sky people and used against us." Setxä says and Spider takes a stumbled step back.
"They just left?" He asked sadly and you put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Spider." You say and he shakes his head.
"It's okay. It was a smart move. I know everything and there's no telling what the demons have as technology now." Spider says and he turns back to the warriors. "So who's Olo'eyktan now?"
"Tarsem. JakeSulí chose him personally." Setxä says and you cock your head to the side.
"Tsu'tey's little brother?" You ask him and he nods. The warriors start to part as Tarsem and Mo'at come into view. You gesture with your hand to them. "I see you, Olo'eyktan. I see you, Tsahík." Mo'at returns the gesture and let's a small smile play on her lips.
"It has been a long time since you have been home child." Mo'at says and Tarsem gets in your face to look at you closely.
"You were my brothers High Warrior when he was Olo'eyktan." Tarsem says and you nod.
"I'm sorry if this might be honest but I must know... What happened to him?" You ask Tarsem and he turns away from you.
"He was returned to the Great Mother the day you all battled the sky people." Tarsem says and your ears droop back in sadness.
"I'm sorry for your loss." You tell him and he pats your shoulder.
"He is not lost. He lives within Eywa and is reunited with his love Sylwanin." Tarsem tells you and you let out a teary chuckle.
"He was a good Olo'eyktan and an even better friend... I hope he didn't hear me say that. He would have skinned me if he were still here." You tell Tarsem who laughs with you. He slings an arm over your shoulder and leads you deeper into their camp. A few avatars loitering about saw your approach and one immediately ran off.
"We only have two spare kelku's. Jake's and mine. I am recently mated and moved into her kelku. So your family is welcome to both of them due to its... Size." Tarsem says and you nod.
"Thank you Olo'eyktan." You say and he shakes his head.
"I am your friend. It is Tarsem." He says and you nod. He and Mo'at promptly leave and you turn to your dad.
"Alright who's staying in which kelku?" You ask him and he turns around to his squad.
"Mansk, Ja, Prager, Lopez, and Zhang in that one. Lyle hope you don't mind bunking with the ladies and I, because I don't want any funny business." Your Dad says and you laugh. You hear a couple of shuffling sets of feet running up to your group. You turn around and find Norm and Max(?) standing there frozen to the spot. You push through Lyle and your Dad and stop a few feet from them.
"Hey Norm. Max." You greet them and Max passes by Norm and hugs you.
"I thought they had decided not to go through with it." Max says and you shake your head.
"You know the RDA once they put money into something they follow through with it." You tell him and Norm seems to snap out of his shock because once Max backs away Norm has you in his arms. He's got you hugged around the waist slightly off the ground with his head buried in your shoulder.
"I lost you." Is all Norm can bring himself to say. You wrap your arms around him just as tight and plant a kiss to the top of his head.
"I'm not going anywhere this time." You whisper to him.
"Yeah the Colonel will kill anyone who threatens her." Lyle says and it's followed by a quiet oof after your dad jabs his side with his elbow.
"Let 'em have their moment." Your Dad says and everyone starts filing into their respective kelku's. Max walks up to your dad and offers him his hand.
"I don't know if you remember me, but I'm-" Max doesn't finish what he's saying as he's pulled into the kelku behind your dad.
"Max. I remember." Is all you hear and then it's quiet between the two of you.
"I love you. I love you so much." You hear Norm whisper into your shoulder and you sigh.
"I love you more and I'm so sorry." You say and Norm shakes his head.
"You're here now. Just please don't leave me again." He says and you kiss his temple.
"I wouldn't dream of it." You tell him and he finally sets you down and you get a good look at him. "Like a fine wine, you've aged well."
"I would hope so. This is my only body now." Norm says and you look at him surprised.
"Did you go through the ceremony?" You ask him and he shakes his head.
"That consciousness transfer device that you bought. I tested it a few weeks ago to make sure it was safe for Spider." Norm says and your ears flick back.
"I didn't tell Max everything about that device." You tell him and he looks at you in question. "It was an experimental design... That I made. It was based mostly on the design of the link pods but portable and permanent. I designed it and paid a company to make it for me. It could've been dangerous." You tell him panicked but he smiles.
"Even if it wasn't experimental it would've been a risk. I was willing to take it for Spider. He deserves to live among the Na'vi as one of them." Norm says and you smile.
"So is it almost ready?" You ask him and Norm nods.
"Hey Max!" Norm calls out and Max comes out. "Do you think we could show (Y/n) your personal lab?" Norm says and Max smiles.
"Oh yeah! Come on." Max gestures for you to follow him but you stop and call out to your dad.
"Hey dad can you come here? Norm, Max, and I wanna talk to you about something." You tell him and he follows you to Max's lab. The four of you enter and you chuckle at how everyone is ducking low.
"Here it is. Just like I promised." Max says and you set a hand on the glass of the grow tube.
"Wow... It looks just like him." You say and your dad peaks over your shoulder and he turns you to face him.
"Is that what I think it is?" He asks and you nod.
"An avatar for Spider. He deserves to live among his people the way they do." You tell him and you look at Max and Norm. "When will it be ready for him to transfer to?" You ask them.
"We have to decant it but should be ready by tomorrow. This is just a bonus surprise for him on top of the two of you. He'll have almost a full family." Max says and you frown.
"Paz wouldn't have been a good mother to him. Dad picks shitty women to produce the best children." You say and your dad smacks the back of your head. "Hey! I'm speaking the truth if you don't like it that's on you." You say jokingly and he rolls his eyes.
"So when are the two of you going to tell him?" Your Dad asks Norm and Max and they look at eachother.
"We think it should be one of you. Now that you're back it would be easier for him to accept change from you. Plus it's because of you that we could do this." Max says and you feel honored.
"I'll go get him. He's going to be so stoked." You say as you shuffle over to the door and walk out. You prance your way back to where you were before and find Spider wrestling with Lyle and Z-Dog. "Hey guys can I steal Spider for a bit?" You ask them and Spider wiggles out from between the larger bodies. He joins you and you start walking him back over to Max's lab.
"We aren't allowed to go in there. Max doesn't want those samples contaminated." Spider says and you chuckle.
"We have permission I promise Spider." You tell him and open the door for him. He goes in with you right behind him and he takes off his exo-pack. You lead him toward the back of Max's lab where the three men are still stood talking quietly. Spider looks curiously at the grow tank and immediately looks at the avatar inside. When he recognizes it he looks up at Norm and Max in full shock.
"Are you being for real?" Spider asks and they nod. He runs around the grow tube and hugs them. "Thank you! Thank you so much."
"You should be thanking her. She got all of this equipment in the first place." Max says and you huffed.
"You did all the work." You tell them and Max rolls his eyes.
"Work that wouldn't have been possible if you hadn't gotten all this to begin with." Max argues and you sigh in defeat. Spider laughs and wipes the tears from his face as he goes back to looking at his avatar.
"When do I get to take him out?" Spider asks and you smile at him.
"Max says he should be ready for you by tomorrow, but Spider you don't have to go back and forth between him and you." You tell him and he looks up at you confused. Max steers Spider into a corner where the lights are off and he turns them on. There in all of its glory is your design for a high-tech piece of equipment.
"This is a machine that can and will transfer your consciousness from this body to your avatar if you want to. You'll sit in this seat and he will be strapped into this seat." Max gestured to the correct chairs. "The design is ingenious really. The side you'll sit in will take your consciousness and hold idle, while this right here connects to your avatar's tswin. There your consciousness will be absorbed by your new body." Max explains and Spider gently starts touching the machine. He stops at some writing on the machine.
"It's called (Y/n) Q.?" Spider asks Max who shakes his head with a chuckle.
"The company this came from names the prototype after the person who created and designed it." Max says and Spider looks at you surprised. "(Y/n) designed this machine and it's truly a work of art."
"I told them not to put my name on it." You tell them and cross your arms in a huff. "Didn't want Mom to get any royalty if it succeeded. Because with technology already created at the time to grow new healthy bodies, all that was needed was to make a machine that could help your mind transfer to it. This was a design I had specifically for human to Na'vi transference, but I sold them the idea for the design with two conditions. 1. I get the original machine proposed then they could fiddle with it to make it useful for human to human transference. 2. I didn't want my name on it. I didn't mind Grandma getting the royalty from it, but I did mind Mom getting her grubby slimy hands on that money."
"See? I was right. Might not have had that fancy degree, but smart enough to have one." Your Dad says and you blush and look away.
"I just took the idea of the link pods and made it permanent. Just a bit of tweaking here and there nothing big." You mumbled and Norm nudged your cheek with his nose.
"Is that why I haven't seen you walking around as a human lately?" Spider asks Norm who nods.
"I wanted to test it and make sure it worked. I didn't want you to get hurt from it." Norm says and Spider smiles widely at everyone around him.
"You're all the best. Thank you. This means so much to me. I don't think you'll ever understand." Spider says his voice full of thankfulness and happiness.
"Alright I think I'm gonna scrounge up some grub for me and the squad and hit the hay after. I'm exhausted." Your Dad says and you nod to acknowledge that you'd heard him.
"I'll help!" Spider says as he snaps the string of his bow against his chest lightly.
"I'm just gonna eat some fruit and get out of my avatar. It's been a long day." Max says and everyone makes their way out of the mobile lab. You look at Norm as everyone goes to their predetermined destinations.
"I still want you as my mate... If you'll have me." You tell him and he sighs relieved and cups your cheeks.
"You've always had me. Even when you weren't here." Norm says and you release a happy sob. "Let's go talk to Mo'at about mating again."
"Would it be okay if I found something to wear other than this? It still reeks of the RDA." You tell him and he chuckles.
"I still have all of your stuff." Norm says bashfully and you frown. "I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it. When Jake and Neytiri showed me where you kept your things... I couldn't get rid of a single bit of it. If you want your stuff it's in my kelku." You nod and he leads you to his kelku. When you step in you scrunch your nose as you look around.
"It needs cleaned. You just throw your clothes on the floor?" You ask him and start picking up his stuff to throw it in a pile in a secluded corner. "I'll need to weave you a laundry basket."
"You don't have to I jus-" He starts but you cut him off.
"No. If we are to be mated again I need to make your home a home. Not just for me but for you." You tell him but he shakes his head.
"No. What I was saying is that I would prefer to dress like you once we're mated again. I will get rid of these clothes and switch to wearing twengs and traditional Na'vi clothing." Norm says and pulls out a tweng. "Like this one. I only have two right now." He says sheepishly.
"Then I'll make you more." You tell him and he smiles while blushing.
"That box has your stuff in it." Norm says and you go over to it. When you open it you find your bow and some of your arrows. Underneath those are some of the clothes you wore during your learning days in the Omatikaya. You take off your shirt and sports bra and throw them in the pile of Norms dirty clothes. You pull out a beaded top woven with purple, blue, and green beads. You put it on and find the tweng that goes with it. It's a blue material with matching purple and green beads hanging on the sides of the front covering cloth. You take off your pants and put on the tweng. You turn to Norm and show him your outfit, but you weren't expecting to find him wearing his tweng and a sheath strap across his chest.
"You completed your iknimaya?" You asked him and he nods.
"I felt closer to you in my avatar and when I was with The People. So it felt right to follow the path that you and Jake blazed for us dreamwalkers." Norm says and you cross the open area and drape your arms around his waist as you look up at him. "We should go see Mo'at before it gets too late." You nod and he leads you to Mo'at's tent where she seems to already be waiting for the two of you.
"Mo'at we would like to talk to you about Norm and I mating again." You tell her and she smiles and motions for the two of you to sit across from her.
"I was expecting to see the two of you tonight. The Great Mother has many plans for the two of you." Mo'at says and she starts grabbing various herbs and tossing them into the fire. She reaches over and takes one of your hands and one of Norm's and connects them. She closes her eyes and takes deep breaths of the air around her.
"The Great Mother is pleased with this pairing and blesses it." Mo'at says and gets up. She walks behind the both of you and takes both of your tswin's into her hand. "Are you ready?" She asks and you both nod eagerly. She brings them together until they conjoin and both you and Norm look at eachother with blown pupils.
"Your connection is strong and withheld through the trial of death." Mo'at says and makes her way back to her seat. "Go enjoy your first night freshly mated." She says and you and your mate don't disconnect your kuru's as you make your way back to his kelku.

"Paranoia is not a very attractive quality in a woman."
Umm okay, AND? I mean I don't give a shit about Genevieve but this is such a dumb statement, as if she's supposed to give a fuck about what's "attractive" to Lex or others, like what?

I. LOVE. THIS.
Tumblr media
That's the way someone talks to their own kid, not their guest and I love that because Lois clearly lacks parental love. Martha & Lois will always be so special to me😭😭

My top 25 Digimon Adventure Tri moments (in no particular order except the 1st)
I really need to bring these in order, but since I’ve reblogged this beautiful post, I might as well post my favourite Tri moments compilation right now. Will definitely look for more screenshots in the future too.
Jyou punching Dark Gennai. I'm getting excited just thinking about it, it's SO satisfying. 
Tumblr media
Taichi's flashback on Koushirou calling him out with them being framed as rain vs sun - that is such a good analogy right there from a cinematic point of view, even if it's just so subtle and there isn't a lot of emphasis on it, but it IS what lets Taichi snap out of his paralysis after all. It basically implied that Koushirou was “the sun” Taichi needed to move on (even though he himself usually is “the sun” for everyone else).
Tumblr media
As painful as it is - Sora's breakdown and Taichi telling her that her selflessness is one of her good traits, making her say the "Don't say things Piyomon would say" in return. Like, it HURTS, it FEELS dysfunctional, but in all actuality, it shows how much they DO understand each other. Literal hedgehog's dilemma. 
The Jyoumi honesty scene. As much of a retcon as it is overall, I love that they're honest with each other without hiding behind masks. 
Tumblr media
That split-second of Kou standing in front of that kimono with Tentomon and Piyomon in his bag - next to the Koura phone scene (where the set-up is nice, but there's just too much second hand embarrassment there), I just love the potential behind it. 
Tumblr media
The "Don't push yourself so much" Taishirou-scene, which will forever live rent-free in my head. 
Tumblr media
The Taikoura donut scene. It's stupidly cute, even if it isn't much.
The Meikeru scene in which she says it's nice to see Takeru and Yamato getting along despite their parents being divorced, it's actually very endearing to have such a gentle moment there out of the blue. 
Kou's mentor moment towards Takeru. "So you just want to forget? It's not about what you couldn't do, it's about what you WILL do." THAT IS MY BOY. 
Tumblr media
Takeru then trying his best to approach Meiko after being inspired by Koushirou (as mentioned above) in the exact same way is also an amazing follow-up.
In addition to the former entry, Koushirou’s "I'M AGAINST THIS, I WILL FIND A SOLUTION!" scene in the last movie, when everyone had already accepted the reboot as only solution, was a pretty nice “main character moment” for him.
Tumblr media
The Meimi hug scene, with Meiko FINALLY coming out of her shell and being the one who reassures Mimi for once. THAT WAS A GREAT SET-UP. 
Tumblr media
A summary of every "SoMi being lovely towards one another" scene. There are just too many to count (special mention goes to the amazing Jyourami rescue scene in the fourth movie!!!).
Kou rescuing Taichi from getting strangled by Yamato in the fifth movie. Classic. 
Sora's "don't close yourself off, being lonely makes a thorn grow in your heart, I was like that too" quote in the fifth movie, WHICH HURTS, BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT SET-UP FOR HER TOO. 
Tumblr media
Taichi's "Shimane's the one without computers" shade comment, with Yamato's stupid "That was a million years ago" response, which is peak Tsundere. 
Tentocat nuzzling into Kou's side. Ugh. (Also probably all the cheesy AguTento moments.)
Taichi saying that they should not judge Jyou, "If we approached him now, he might have to face things he doesn't want to." Mature!Taichi ftw, even if that wasn't the overall best approach, it still showed his progress. He HAD to face the painful things in the end. 
Hikari's comment on Plotmon after the reboot, implying that there are certain things she’d better not remember (alluding to everything she went through during her time under Vamdemon up until watching Wizarmon die). I didn't think they would go there, but they did and that was both heartbreaking, but still amazing. 
Yamato's reaction towards Meiko's Ghost Story, completely losing it there - and the shade he got from Takeru for it. Good boy. 
Mimi actually kissing Meiko on the cheek. Groundbreaking. 
Yamato's peak closet moment (he had at least three) being the "if we don't have to form Omegamon anymore, that'll make it easier for you too, right?", including the blushing. 
Tumblr media
Taichi affirming Meiko that Koushirou is researching the whole infection issue “with all his heart” will also live rent-free in my head forever.
The farewell scene between Taichi and Daigo (probably being the 64728th Evangelion reference in these movies, but I’ll bite, I liked that one).
Also all the housewife!Gomamon scenes (that compliment the housewife!Tentomon scenes).

Tech, pls get off the high thing. It's stressing me out. 😬
I would be Wrecker in this situation. Except I'd be doing worse.
At least everyone else has two hands to hold on with, Echo just has his scomp wedged under a pipe. 😭
Hemlock going for the "if I just make all my responses really vague then I won't actually have to answer anything" approach.
EXCUSE ME TARKIN, YOU BITCH! ECHO BLEW UP TO SAVE YOU! GIVE THE CLONES SOME DAMN RESPECT!!!
Echo hasn't been sidelined which is good. 🥰
It's "let's send the child off into a dangerous situation by themselves" time!
Swinging the crane around and knocking everything over seems like something Fives would do.
Or Hardcase. But Hardcase wouldn't do it intentionally.
SAW GERRERA???
Saw, mate. Pls don't blow it up. I don't need to be more stressed about the Batch not making it. 😭
These fight sequences are great!
Oh great. Now they're stuck. 🥲
Remember in 2x1 when it ended with the crate falling out of the sky? Yeah... this feels like that.
And that didn't end well for Tech so now I'm stressed that someone is going to get hurt. 😭
Everything is grey. Why does everything have to be grey? Grey ≠ good.
WHY DOES HUNTER LOOK SO SAD IN THE NEXT EPISODE SCREENSHOT?!
TECH STOP CLIMBING ON THINGS ISTFG!
This has me all levels of stressed out. 🫠
Oh fuck. Now we have ships involved.
Oh fuck fuck fuckety fuck fuck fuck
THIS SITUATION CAN'T GET ANY WORSE
NEVERMIND I STAND CORRECTED
THE CARRIAGES ARE FALLING OFF THE RAIL
TECH NO SHIT HANG ON AAAHHHH
Tumblr media
WRECKER GO AND GET HIM OMG 😭
Tech...

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Months ago I said that Tech was the most likely of them to die
THAT DIDN'T MEAN THAT I FUCKING WANTED IT
I feel sick
That might be the sleep deprivation tbf
But omg I actually feel ill
I'm sobbing
Help
I hate this
Why
FUCK
Wrecker calling Tech's name is so much like Fives calling Echo's
Everything hurts
Oh great! This entire sequence is like when Hunter got shot! 😭
CAN'T WE HAVE HAPPINESS FOR 2 FUCKING SECONDS?!
It stresses me out that we haven't seen Crosshair yet 😐
Hey, AZI. Nice to see a friendly face. 🥲
Awww they were so worried about her 😭
Help me
Goddammit, Tech. I didn't need this. 😭
But we haven't seen a body, right? THAT MEANS HE COULD BE OKAY, RIGHT??? NO BODY MEANS THAT HE MIGHT NOT BE DEAD, RIGHT?!
Wrecker has a neck brace. 🥲
OH FUCK
SAD WRECKER
DON'T DO THIS TO ME
"Yeah. Me too."
Tumblr media
This entire episode makes me feel like I'm gonna throw up
NO FUCK
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
NOT ECHO SAD
I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS
FUCK FUCK FUCK
NOPE
HE'S ALREADY LOST HIS ENTIRE SQUAD DON'T DO THIS TO HIM 😭
I'm in so much pain rn
I'm suffering
CID YOU FUCKING BITCH!
I HATE YOU
I HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH RIGHT NOW
Don't look all sad and regretful
You know what you did
Fuck you 🤬
"Who knew clones were so paternal" 😭
NOT THE GOGGLES
NOT THE GOGGLES
FUCK
I hate this I hate this I hate this
But that means they found him, right???
I refuse to believe that he's dead.
I refuse to believe it.
Maybe they took him.
I mean, that's not good but at least it means he's not fucking dead.
PLEASE TELL ME HE'S NOT FUCKING DEAD
Oh shit now they have Wrecker and Hunter. 😭
ECHO TO THE RESCUE!!!
Oh piss off Hemlock, you slimy git
(I actually really enjoy watching him as a villain though)
(It's a love hate relationship)
(Mainly hate)
Echo and AZI teaming up is making me think of Fives and AZI and now I'm somehow even more sad... ☹️
ECHO IN A WALKER!!!
THAT'S OUR MAN RIGHT THERE!!! 🔥
Scorch, you put Omega down right now!
THEY ALL LOOK SO SAD I CAN'T DO THIS 😭😭😭
Oh Nala Sé can piss off as well. 😒
CROSSHAIR
ALL THIS AND WE GET 5 SECONDS OF UNCONSCIOUS CROSSHAIR?!
And there was us thinking that they were gonna rescue him. 🤡
Well we were right about one thing... they got Omega. 🥲
I DO NOT LIKE THOSE TUBES IN THE BACKGROUND
I VERY MUCH DO NOT LIKE THEM
So Emerie is a clone!
Oh, we've ended on grey. Of course. How else would it end.
Tumblr media
I just... what do I say? I don't know what to do. I'm in pain. I feel sick. This episode broke me in every way possible. I don't know what to do.
Me if someone tries to tell me that Tech is actually dead 👇
Tumblr media
... at least this means season 3, right? 🥲
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
@phis-writing @saturn-sends-hugs @eriexplosion @heyclickadee @snarkyfina So, besties... how are we doing? 😃

Let's Rewind! Toast watches Voltron: Defender of The Universe (1984)
Season 1, Episode 21: It'll Be A Cold Day Season 1, Episode 22: The Deadly Flowers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 21: It'll Be A Cold Day
And we open with Lotor evil laughing, great start
Oh, so this is the continuation of the episode where Romelle got kidnapped, she's in a dungeon with other women now Lotor tried to force a kiss on her after he compared her to Allura again, disgustang good for Romelle, she managed to slap him in the face
With the editing it doesn't really look it but Lotor knocked out Romelle and carried her away only for her to return by herself and collapse before she starts crying, something very nonconsensual happened to her,, poor girl
While knocked out she thinks back to when she was captured, Bandor officially became crown prince after their father went insane apparently, pollux is a patriarchy which is good to know for world building The other ladies in the cell are helping her out and making an escape plan, something tells me this is going to go wrong
Oh, shit they did it, similar to how the boys did except they LITERALLY COMMITTED ARSON BEFORE STEALING A SHIP, girlbosses every single one of them
Lotor's already on their tail, somehow his attacks set the ship on fire which you'd think couldn't happen because there's no oxygen in space but ok also they're crash landing on Neeve? I didn't catch the planet name, but Romelle sent out a distress call which obvs the team and Bandor picked up
The team and Bandor meet up, apparently they formed voltron but I think it's so funny that they ended up deactivating formation anyway, what a waste of energy lol
Allura finds one of her mice down her uniform as they're all out scouting in the snow, then proceeds to put them back into her collar, so they can keep warm why do I feel like lance should be saying that he wishes he was that mouse? Maybe it was in golion because he definitely doesn't say it here
Bandor and the team run into the ship but find it empty, then Allura notices a scrap of fabric and almost gets attacked by haggar disguised as romelle after the door closes behind her this is like the second time Haggar's disguised herself as allura's family, does she have beef with them specifically? The mouse saves her though which gives the boys time to get to the princess
Man they make Pidge such an acrobat in this show lol, he flips in the air and PUNTS HAGGARS CAT AWAY AFTER IT STARTS CHASING THE MOUSE SDOVINSDV
obvs haggar escapes but not without bandor, the team chases after her straight into the worst case scenario, being on lower ground Lotor demands Allura to be traded for her cousins, of course nobody trusts that he'd actually follow through
Allura starts heading towards lotor as the pollux siblings head towards the lions, but Keith is the leader for a reason, and he hides his uniform in snow before swapping places with allura so lotor still thinks its her also lotor unleashes a robeast when he gets close enough
Lotor v Keith again, except the siblings come back and want to attack lotor themselves for being a POS Romelle gets knocked out and kidnapped again,,, girl gets no break
Voltron forms, robeast is taken out, and now onto lotor apparently romelle gets set free? It's very vague because they catch lotor and tell him they'll tail him to pollux to make sure, but then they're back on arus? We'll see ig
/episode end
Episode 22: The Deadly Flowers I've seen so many screenshots of this episode onvsdo
Some random seed pods fell from space and sprouted on arus in abundance, immediately that's a sign that things aren't right
The mice pick some for Allura though, and they end up dancing together for a bit, how cute Immediately cut to doom, and we find out the flowers are haggars doing, which are supposed to make anyone who smells them sick
Coran calls an emergency meeting because the flowers are rapid response ig, people are blacking out left and right so Allura wants them treated at the castle by their doctor Dr Gorma The flowers of planet Lyra apparently are medicinal and should help
Lance has literally started a wildfire apparently because Coran told him to burn the flowers that started blooming maybe not the best idea guys
Allura has an idea to get past the magnetic field that surrounds planet Lyra but obvs she smelled the flowers so now she's out cold too just when we were getting somewhere too >:/
Lance ditches the team to go to planet Lyra by himeself in blue hey his suit finally matches lol
"I know, and I've got special equipment! Intelligence, charm, personality, good looks, and a rabbit's foot" *(winks)* -Lance ICONIC
Tumblr media
adorable
aaand the bad guys are on planet too, of course, except they think it's allura and go off to try and capture blue
Lance finds this weird divot filled with honey like liquid AND FUCKING TASTES IT, MCCLAIN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS also the natives started attacking, this is why you don't stick your fingers into everything Lance
ooh pretty girly to act as diplomat, apparently the roses are worshiped and not given away so easily so Lance gets grabbed and taken to the king for that permission only for a doom cruiser to pick him to go there, yeah definitely not good
lotor bitch slaps lance for not being allura, luckily for lance he's near something sharp, so he starts cutting his ropes without being noticed Farla is the girls name and she doesn't seem to understand that lance and lotor know each other so she asks to give him flowers which Lotor is glad to hear because voltron is out of commission atm
Lance is loose and starts a sword fight with lotor before his sword gets stuck on the highly magnetic rocks on the wall of this cliff they're on, Lotor shoves him off into the river below where apparently nobody has ever survived falling from obvs that's about to change real soon
Lotor wants the roses for allura himself and the king of lyra tries to extort him but lotor fucking KILLS THE GUY, LIKE STRAIGHT UP THE TEAM WHO EDITED THIS EPISODE STOPS THE SCENE AND FADES IT TO RED FOR CENSORSHIP HOLY CRAP
Lance lived and is back in blue, hooray! Except Lotor's crew is destroying all the flowers except for what they needed, Farla tries to stop them but she got smacked into the water before Blue came out to crush the troops
Falra pulls through and before she faints (dies) she gives Lance a bag of seeds for him to plant on arus, but he promises to plant them on Lyra instead he's such a fucking sweetie i love him omg
As the other boys try to fight the robeast lotor sent out on Arus, Allura stumbles her way to castle control and flies red since lance and blue are still gone man this girl has flown 3/5 lions already, girlboss
lance returns, voltron is formed, robeast destroyed, and lotor runs off, except dad calls and chews him out for destroying the flowers though lotor gets out of it by saying he's brought enough flowers to keep making the meds he apparently needs to stay alive for a long time, call ends and lotor calls zarkon stupid dude i feel like he'd know if his meds were missing/short how was that a good plan
Tumblr media
Special reward for a special guy
Pidge tries to get a kiss too but gets smooched by a mouse instead, maybe that's where vld got the idea in the first place sovsdv
Lance still remembers planet Lyra, and he rushes off to plant the rest of the flowers with Allura coming along too

She really puts the “blue” in “blooey,” doesn’t she?
I’ve made you wait for quite a while, so I thought I’d skip the guest hosting, GIFs, Double-GIFs, etc. this time around and finally share the long-awaited “big reveal” number 56!  Let’s cut to the chase (no pun intended), shall we?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Politics are a messy business even in the Paper Mushroom Kingdom, apparently.  😄
So, for those not familiar with Paper Mario, it’s a turn-based RPG series (Super Paper Mario being one exception) that, like several other video game series, allows you to do some questionable things, including but not limited to the ones described by Princess Peach in this comic.  One game in particular even lets Mario attack the woman herself.
Tumblr media
Oddly enough, though, she seems to be the only one who cares about it.  😆
While I know Mario’s not the type to hurt innocent people, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if this sort of thing was canon to the story.  If it was, it would make Mario the sort of person who can and will save the day when the situation calls for it, but who also has a habit of getting on people’s nerves (in other words, a bit of an antihero).
While we’re on the subject, those of you who are gamers can probably name a few other examples of this in other game series -- Mario jumping on piantas’ heads in Super Mario Sunshine, Link picking up pots and breaking them in the Legend of Zelda series, Fox shooting/crashing into his allies in the Star Fox series, and so on.  There are even some Legend of Zelda games that will punish you for taking it too far (ex. The Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, etc.).  But since the Paper Mario series seems to mostly let Mario’s shenanigans slide, I decided to see how his fellow papery people would react if they took them seriously.  Quite a bit different, isn’t it?  And hilarious, of course.  😏
So, a couple of things I hope you didn’t notice about the comic -- first, it’s apparently been a while since I used the “flesh” colored pencil, which is why Peach seems a bit paler in the second two panels than in the first two.  I attempted to fix that with GIMP, but it became too much of a hassle in the end, so I decided to leave it as is.  On the other hand, it kind of makes sense for her to look redder in the second panel, doesn’t it?  😄
I also kind of messed up Peach’s glove on the righthand side of the final panel.  I forgot that it’s supposed to get thinner as it moves toward her hand somehow.  🤷‍♂️  But given how many details there were in each panel, I’m actually pretty glad that those are the only noticeable errors!  I mean, I guess the shape of the railing could be a little more consistent, but...eh, close enough.
I’ve been learning to say those two words a lot while drawing lately, by the way.  It’s a big help for someone as persnickety as me.  😅
Interestingly enough, the Princess was made after a very recent version of her...
Tumblr media
...while the room she’s in, the chair she’s sitting in, and the book she’s reading were based on a couple of screenshots from the very first Paper Mario game:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It turns out that even Nintendo 64 games include a lot of details you don’t notice until you try to draw them.  Copying the orange and yellow swirls of one column, the vertical stripes of two others, the fancy blue banner, the railing posts, the table and potted plant, and the sky-themed wall design was a challenge, but it made for good practice, as well as making it that much more rewarding to get to the more enjoyable parts -- namely, Peach’s shiny crown and hair, her beautiful outfit, and her hilarious faces and gestures.  😊
I also never realized how hard phone cords are to draw before now, but making a convincing spiral shape was another good challenge.  I started out by drawing a line that curved the way I wanted the cord to, then drawing the cord around it, and...it looks like it worked out okay.  🙂
And with that, have a blessed day, everyone!  And make sure to keep your nose (and mustache, if applicable) clean!
