The lamb keeps a braid as a way to honor the death of those who couldn't make it. Usually they have time to braid it but they take long because they're bad at it. They've got a sermon in 5. Favours for favours. Ps: Narinder isn't hiding his eyes, not exactly. But he is hiding something.

On one hand there's knowing that tumblr's gonna tumblr, but on the other hand there is my unwavering belief that reading Jayce and Viktor as romantic actually flattens both of their stories and their literally biblical devotion to each other is the most powerful "god forbid men just be friends" we have gotten in decades.

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

shannon introduced elysian stepping out of thin air claiming to be a power source, called it the biggest secret of the lost cities she's been keeping for over a decade, then said peace see you in at least 3 years. and honestly. power move

it’s a small thing, but while I was working on the Transmogrification Explained Part 2 I caught something that I thought was interesting enough to share.

At this point (see below) at the end of the finale, after the ceremony, all the housemates go into the fancy room and Nandor says something about playing Parcheesi right before he takes a brief moment to comfort Guillermo the tiniest bit.

Right afterwards however, instead of doing as he said he would and follow everyone else into the fancy room, he heads right, down the hallway, most likely going straight to his room.

All the nonchalance and dismissal and ‘hey, let's pretend everything is fine and back to normal now!’ talk is a feint. Nandor doesn’t go into the fancy room to take comfort with the group and deny that anything important happened, and since he told Guillermo to clean up Derek before sunrise (something I thought was odd at the time because why would it matter if Guillermo left it until sunrise when everyone would be asleep anyways), he knows Guillermo won’t follow him.

Nandor is choosing to be alone after all this. It’s a very neat little character bit that is easily overlooked within the noise of the episode. While the tone at the end of the ceremony looks like everyone is moving back to square one and blatantly ignoring the seriousness of the situation to do something as banal as a board game, the actual actions of the characters show that there really is devastation amongst them. Guillermo’s obvious, but Nandor’s is hidden with a line that distracts us from noticing that he actually retreats from everyone and hides away.

It really makes me wonder what Nandor did after everything. Used the time to get himself ready for bed so Guillermo couldn’t wouldn’t have to do it when he got back? Sulked? Had a tantrum? Went into his treasure room to read Guillermo’s thank you card again and again?

oh and another little thing: Guillermo and Nandor are the only ones who still have their robes on after the ceremony, and actually end the scene still in them. All the other characters almost immediately took them off after the lights went on.

having them the only two that still wear the robes feels so significant to me. like they’re still in this ritual between them. Or, if the bondage rope part of it comes into play, they are still tied to each other. There’s definitely something to be read here, with both Nandor keeping the rope-cape on and pretending like he was going to follow the others but going to his room instead. Whatever it is, one thing’s for certain to me: Nandor is Not Okay after the ceremony.

An alt design (redesign?) for my demon slayer oc, koharu

Wanted to incorporate the little clouds inside the cape for more coherence with the other two Ebisu siblings, and figured that since they’re the main “researcher” of the family, and the one with the least physical strength to offer, their design should lean slightly more into academia with the cape and the hat! Was thinking of making it a tonbi (overcoat with shoulder-cape down to sleeve length and inner jacket) but I think the single long cape makes the design overall easier to read :)

guess who taught himself how to make bead lizards based off a single diagram all because he got hyperfixated on a book

hi it’s me again (symbolism anon) this time to yell at you/with you about how absolutely HILARIOUS the inchident is to me. like, regardless of the original video in all its vine core glory, the background story behind it is legitimately so so funny. the fact that they were both being track menaces (fork found in kitchen) pushing each other on track, i can easily visualise. but then enter babyface!charles being a menace pushing max off track AFTER max had already won the race into a puddle of water. i emphasise on this, because in an interview charles says the water was “probably arriving at his hips” and that is what’s HYSTERICAL to me, the fact that he pushed his opponent out of pure pettiness into a huge puddle only to then shrug it off on camera as a simple incident.

best part of the whole thing: they were both disqualified from the race after. legendary origin story of you ask me, and again without even touching on their perception of the inchident now. (again, I could go on.)

oh again i ENCOURAGE you to go on ...

listen the inchident gained fame for funny pronunciation and bieber-hair, but it is so much deeper. the fact that there had been overtakes on track that charles deemed unfair (even max said in that one quote how it was "a bit defensively" which in fairness we all know means he drove a bit like a maniac), the fact that charles pushed him on track before, overtook him, had a battle of gestures on track too (we know max was already fuming by that point and charles was already petty by this point) and then max winning? taking the lead back and charlie pushing him off?! AFTER the flag? into a puddle? the pettiest move ever made in the history of men?

there is something so absolutely hilarious about charles being the casual little menace that he is, shrugging it off, seemingly getting away with it to a point because yep he got disqualified BUT SO DID MAX so no win taken from him. cause max has always been the one to beat. even to this day, the way even bryan tends to give him max' lap times (and yes he is leading the championship so i get it in theory blablabla but still), the way it is still all about beating max.

it is hands down also why i think max over the years learned how to race charles. i think it is max who has matured, truly. like yes charles is a grown man now too and probably will take less risks to a degree but i think the reason they did not crash or pull more insane moves is mostly MAX maturing. as in i have no clue what conversation went down post austria 2019 but i am certain whatever charles unleashed on max put the fear of god in that man cause he did not pull something like that after, not to that capacity and i truly think it's cause max understands one thing about charles: he WILL rather end both their races than lose out to max. he WILL not hesitate to send them both flying and he will be absolutely unhinged battling max the way he always has been.

... for what is a rival if not a crush you are mad about having?

Dan and Phil need to be careful mentioning the string theory. As Heaven official's blessing fan, this shit ruins me.
