Unprepared Casters Arc 8: The King is Dead

Finale thoughts: HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[leasdoodles]

Reed's performance in that scene simply won't leave my mind

(ARC 8 FINALE SPOILERS)

[libsreese]

God bless Penny, She’s got quite some shoes to fill-Robyn “The Serpent” Lovejoy

[th3b4dk1dzz]

What I wouldn't give for a Lovejoy reunion one-shot or short arc dealing with fallout of the arc 8 finale with the following cast.

Gus as DM

Jenny as Hope

Maddison as Robin

Hayley as Lyndell

Sam as Richard

Reed as Penny

James as Wren

The arc is set at the funeral of Gem Lovejoy.

Penny has meticulously organised the whole event. It stops her from thinking about what happened.

Hope feels obliged to come even if she knows it will be uncomfortable. It's the first time away from her party since they formed

Richard, who is so used to livening up a room, doesn't know how to process it. Especially since his boys weren't invited.

Robin and Wren both individually don't come in an official capacity just long enough say goodbye and leave. Robin still brings Lyndell for emotional support.

However, when the ceremony is interrupted by Hatebad loyalists, this family will have to work together to escape a full throttle ambush.

A heavy silence hung over the Xavier Institute as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the expansive grounds. Inside, the atmosphere was tense, burdened by the recent events that had shaken the team to its core.

A new mutant had arrived at the institute, but not by choice. Known only as LoveJoy, they had been a formidable adversary, unleashed on a killing spree under the control of the sinister Mr. Sinister himself. It had taken the combined efforts of the X-Men to subdue them, with Rogue delivering the final blow by extracting a mysterious red gem embedded in LoveJoy's forehead, rendering them unconscious.

Now, confined within the institute's secure holding room, LoveJoy was restrained by a straightjacket and a power-inhibiting collar, their dangerous abilities temporarily neutralized. Their body was a canvas of scars, each one telling a story of pain and survival that none of the X-Men could fully comprehend.

Kurt Wagner, known to many as Nightcrawler, stood outside the reinforced door, his golden eyes reflecting a mixture of curiosity and compassion. He had volunteered for this task, believing that perhaps he could reach LoveJoy where others had failed. Taking a deep breath, he teleported inside with a soft bamf, the smell of brimstone briefly filling the room.

LoveJoy sat on the edge of the simple cot, gazing out the window at the fading daylight. At the sound and sudden smell, they turned sharply, their glowing pink eyes narrowing in annoyance.

"I told Hank I didn't fucking want visitors," they grumbled, voice rough but carrying an undertone of exhaustion.

Kurt offered a gentle smile, trying to ease the tension. "Well, he and Scott thought it might help if I tried to talk to you," he replied, his German accent softening his words as he took a seat on a nearby chair.

LoveJoy rolled their eyes dramatically and leaned back against the wall, the chains connected to their restraints clinking softly. "I already told them I don't remember anything that happened with Sinister. That crazy quack drilled multiple holes in my head, and you're asking me if I remember anything..." They let out a bitter chuckle, a smirk twisting their scarred lips.

Kurt nodded slowly, understanding the frustration. "I know it's difficult, but sometimes talking can help piece things together," he said gently. His gaze drifted over their numerous scars, each more haunting than the last. "We don't even know your real name. The files only had 'LoveJoy'."

There was a pause as LoveJoy considered him, their eyes scrutinizing his every feature. Finally, they spoke, voice softer but guarded. "... It's Haven."

Kurt's smile widened slightly. "Haven. That's a beautiful name."

LoveJoy shrugged, dismissing the compliment. "Doesn't mean much nowadays."

Trying to steer the conversation forward, Kurt asked, "Do you recognize me at all?"

A furrow formed between LoveJoy's brows as they studied him more intently. After a moment, they shook their head. "Did I try to attack you too?"

A light chuckle escaped Kurt's lips. "Yes, you did. You tried to convince me to let you go so you could, and I quote, 'have fun' with me."

Surprise flickered across LoveJoy's face before it melted into a mischievous grin. "Oh, well, that's actually not that surprising," they admitted, a faint blush coloring their cheeks as they let out a soft giggle that seemed out of place in their current predicament.

Kurt found himself smiling wider at their unexpected reaction. "You really don't remember what you said, do you?"

"Nope," LoveJoy replied, popping the 'p' playfully. "But I bet it was way too vulgar and very distracting." They wiggled their eyebrows suggestively, clearly enjoying the banter.

Kurt laughed, the sound warm and genuine. "Oh yes. Extremely vulgar and distracting."

LoveJoy's grin broadened, their demeanor far removed from the violent individual the X-Men had battled. "Well, I'm sorry for my... odd behavior when I was being controlled. I usually don't talk to strangers like that unless they pay me," they quipped.

That revelation caused Kurt's eyebrows to raise in surprise. "Oh really?" he hummed, leaning in slightly with intrigue evident in his eyes.

"A mutant on the run has to make a living somehow," LoveJoy explained with a casual shrug. "And let's just say my powers gave me an additional advantage in the job. I went under a different name to avoid the law—Cleopatra. But Remy's probably told you guys everything about that..."

Kurt's eyes widened slightly at the mention of Remy. "He did mention some things," he confirmed, noting the slight tension that arose at the mention of Gambit.

LoveJoy's gaze drifted back to the window, the playful spark dimming slightly. "I'm sure he yapped about how I tricked him and used my influence on him to do my evil bidding, like I'm some witch with domination fetish powers..."

There was a pause before they continued, voice softer and laced with regret. "But once I used the influence on him and I saw his mind, what he kept in it... My influence can't override someone's genuine feelings. Someone else was already taking up that spot in his heart. So I let him go."

Kurt listened intently, feeling a pang of sympathy for the troubled mutant before him. He hesitated before reaching out, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder. "I'm sorry you had to go through that."

LoveJoy glanced down at his hand, then back up at him, their eyes searching his face for any sign of deceit. Finding none, they relaxed slightly, allowing the gesture.

After a brief silence, LoveJoy spoke again, their voice barely above a whisper. "He told me he could fix me, and I believed him."

Kurt's brows knitted in concern. "Sinister?"

LoveJoy gave a small nod, their shoulders sagging under the weight of their memories. "That was weeks ago. The last thing I remember is waking up here."

Kurt didn't speak for a moment, absorbing the depth of their confession. It was clear that Sinister had manipulated and abused them, preying on their vulnerabilities. "God... you really didn't know what he was doing to you, did you?" he asked softly, his tone filled with empathy.

"Well... I do now. I know I didn't originally look this fucked," LoveJoy replied with a bitter laugh, gesturing with their restrained hands towards their altered features. Their once-human appearance now marred by fangs and black, glittering claws—a twisted transformation courtesy of Sinister's experiments.

Noticing their discomfort, LoveJoy quickly added, stumbling over their words, "Not that having physical mutations are a bad thing... I just, uh..."

Kurt chuckled warmly, trying to ease their embarrassment. "Hey, it's okay. I get what you meant," he reassured them, his golden eyes soft with understanding.

LoveJoy looked up, relief evident in their gaze as a small smile tugged at their lips. "Thanks."

A comfortable silence settled between them before Kurt leaned back in his chair, his curiosity piqued once more. "I do have a question."

LoveJoy straightened slightly, smirk returning. "I might have an answer," they teased, eyes glinting with renewed mischief.

Kurt's smile mirrored theirs as he asked, "Your age. You're 26. I thought you would look older."

"Oh... well, technically yes, I'm 26. Essex froze me for ten years after confirming I was too dangerous to keep awake because I kept... escaping," LoveJoy explained, a hint of embarrassment coloring their tone. "You're lucky I'm even saying anything. Asking a pretty person their age is rude!"

Kurt laughed at that, eyes twinkling with amusement. "Well, technically, I was correct then. You are 26."

Kurt feigned a pout, his eyes sparkling. "Too dangerous... and too pretty."

"Well, at least we agree on that," Lovejoy replied, their own grin turning playful.

The room seemed lighter now, the earlier tension dissipated as the two mutants shared a genuine moment of connection. For the first time since arriving, LoveJoy felt a glimmer of hope—a possibility that maybe, just maybe, things could change for the better.

As Kurt continued to engage with Haven, their conversation taking unexpected turns from somber to flirtatious, the scene shifted to the monitoring room. Hank and Emma Frost were observing the interaction on a large screen. The tension in the room was almost as palpable as the conversation happening on the monitor.

Emma leaned forward, her frustration evident as she watched the screen, her eyes narrowing at the unfolding interaction.

“What the hell is he doing?” Emma snapped, her voice sharp with disbelief. “I tried to extract information from that... thing, and they bit my hand like a rabid dog. And now they’re flirting? Is this some kind of joke?”

Hank, standing beside her with his arms crossed, glanced at the screen before turning back to Emma, his expression calm and contemplative. “Kurt’s trying to build a connection,” he said thoughtfully. “We’ve exhausted every other method. This might be the only way to get through to them.”

Emma scoffed, clearly unconvinced. “A connection? It looks more like they’re on a date. This is a waste of time, Hank. We need answers, not... whatever this is.”

Hank shook his head slightly, his gaze returning to the screen. “Sometimes, unconventional approaches are the most effective. If Kurt can reach Haven, even just a little, it might give us the breakthrough we need.”

Emma huffed in frustration but didn’t argue further, though her skepticism was clear. She turned her attention back to the screen, her eyes narrowing as she watched Kurt and Haven continue their conversation.

“I hope we didn’t make a mistake bringing them here,” she muttered under her breath, her irritation turning into slight fear over what the mutant known as Lovejoy was capable of.

Day 4 of crocheting something for each arc of UC

Today is the gem from Arc 2: Lovejoy's Four!

Decided to try this without any black outlines and I think it turned out pretty well :)

[n1c0d3mv5]

The amount of aromantic Lovejoy lyrics is baffling. If you really pay attention to the lyrics you can find so many aromantic gems.

That’s one reason why I love Lovejoy. I’m questioning wether or not I might be a-spec, and having something there that’s relatable makes me feel less broken.

Even in Wilbur’s solo album (your city gave me asthma) there are so many lyrics. And no matter how small they might seem, having lyrics like that in music (and media in general) helps a lot of people.

So thank you Wilbur. You’re helping an entire generation of kids feel less alone in so many different ways.

for the ask game - 9 & 23! 🫶🏻

9: Write a recommendation of someone else’s fic you enjoyed!

“Cry Me a Liver” by @babsvibes It’s got everything you can want in a Louigan fic: Sad man-baby Logan, Louise, and Logan are miserable about the breakup, yet the hilarious thing is that neither one of them actually remembers or knows why they broke up in the first place. 😂 And you gotta love Gene and Tina for being the greatest siblings ever trying to figure out what happened! I love Tina and Louise’s dynamic, but I especially love Logan and Gene in this fic! Gene is just amazing in this fic, and I love them. Gene’s personality is just so perfectly written in this fic, and I adored this fic so much. And I was one of the people who, of course, loves pathetic Logan, and I got my juice and more lol.

I definitely recommend this fic to anyone who hasn’t read it; it’s a gem. 💕💕💕

23: Has your favorite character/ship changed over time?

The pairing between Lisa Simpson and Jessica Lovejoy has been with me for so loooong. I can’t say it’s changed, as my love for it is still going strong after all these years. They have been my OTP since I was 17 to 18 years old, and I think they’ll be my OTP until the day that I die. 🥹💕💕💕

New fic! Gem sees so much of Liberty in Roybn

Fizz's spotify wrapped deep dive

(because I love to yap <3)

TOP 5 SONGS

1. TTYL - Loosemble Just had a hunch that this was my no.1 because I put this on loop when it came out. Such a fun song with an addictive dance too. RIP Loosemble, wishing all the girlies the best in their careers. They've been through so much dear lord.

2. GPT - STAYC Phenomenal song! Actually surprised that it made it in and it's at no. 2. This song was released in Oct 30 2024. Damn I was really looping it the day right after it came out 3. Drama - aespa Expecting this to be more in the no.1 spot? Love this song for the entirety of the year. I also put this in my smalletho playlist because it fits the vibe to me 4. The Moon Will Sing - The Crane Wives Getting into the life series fandom also entails to getting into the crane wives. No other notes other than "THE MOON WILL SING A SONG FOR ME, I LOVED YOU LIKE THE SUN, BORE THE SHADOWS THAT YOU MADE WITH NO LIGHT ON MY OWN, I SHINE ONLY WITH THE LIGHT YOU GAVE ME, I SHINE ONLY WITH THE LIGHT YOU GAVE ME"

5. Virtual Angel - ARTMS I love this song to bits. There's something about this that's so kpop christian horse girl music. It's such a dreamy song! This is the best 2024 kpop comeback. Would recommend this song to non-kpop listeners! Here are other songs I loved this year: 6. Funeral Grey - Waterparks Mr SmallishBeans got me into Waterpark bc of his stupid 'Neck Kisses' playlist.

7. It's all futile! It's all pointless! - Lovejoy I would like to preface this by saying FUCK WILLBUR! This song still made it in my wrap from all the streams were BEFORE the news. I have to be honest, I am still attached to this song and so many other songs after the news. I easily get attached to music, or anything really. But this song has done so much for me in helping me to cope through this year. I have been listening to this without giving them my stream count. I think it would have been higher on the list if Willbur didn't turn out to be an abuser. Yea FUCK WILLBUR AND DON'T LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC.

9. Good Luck, Babe! - Chappel Roan I was here before the song blew up. I wish I could listen to this song for the first time. Such a phenomenal song. The goosebumps I got listening to this song at first. Chappel Roan is such a great singer man... Literally had this song review entry in my journal and it was like 5 pages long. SO GOOD. LOVE YOU CHAPPEL THE MEDIA CAN'T MAKE ME HATE YOU.

14. How I'd Kill - Cowboy Malfoy Love me a good experimental song!!!!! SO GOOD. Got into this because of Cherrifire's animatic of Martyn. Thank you Cherrifire. This is a gem of a song.

17. Supernova -aespa This song is just SO aespa. This song solidifies and cements their group identity. You cannot take this song and give it to another group bc no other group can pull this off. Like, this song is nothing without aespa. Just. I love this.

26. Supernatural - NewJeans I just want to say that I love this song and I wish NewJeans members the best in whatever that's going on. 30. Supersonic - fromis_9 This really is the year of kpop comebacks having super in the song. Also just want to say I love this song and I love fromis ever since their debut. They are such a group I hold near and dear to my heart. I wish we had gotten more songs because they've been through so many hiatuses in their careers. Literally fuck 'Off The Record' and 'Pledis' entertainment. Big emphasis on Pledis. I never trusted y'all with whatever happened to Pristin.

48. Cosmic - Red Velvet The longing in this song is so good I felt it in my bones.

54. Nemonemo - Yena THIS is what kpop is about. Such a fun quirky song. 65. Love Bomb - fromis_9 I still think this is their best song. This song has always made it into my wrap every year since it came out

TOP 5 ARTISTS

I have to be honest; I'm surprised The Crane Wives got such a high placement. Dreamcatcher had always been my no.1 lol. It feels like I have betrayed my dreamcatcher girlies lol.

Overall thoughts: This was such a fun music year for me! My music taste really expended so much this year. This is the year I had the least amount of kpop songs that made it in. It actually resulted in a weird mismatch 2024 song playlist, which I weirdly love.

Apparently, my spotify subscription would be changed to duo instead of family. Which is sad because more money. But I don't like paying for subscriptions so I'm gonna find other ways.

I hate everything that comes out of Gem Lovejoy’s mouth.

[tooturtly]

Thinking about Gem Lovejoy. In the last postmortem Gus mentioned wanting her to have depth and like, even though she’s a bad person, I don’t think SHE THINKS she’s a bad person. That’s what I got from her conversation with robin, at least. She knows she’s done wrong but I think everything she does comes from a place of love. She’s rationalized her actions because she thinks she has done is for the good of everyone. Yet, how did she end up with such messed up ideas of love and sacrifice? Did she once have a lover who died before her and that’s why she said that to Robin? What is her relationship like with Jack Lovejoy? Does she have siblings or a messed up family life herself? How did she become the matriarch of the family? Why make her kids pick a hobby? What’s her backstory and why? I want to understand her, and better understand her actions. Because just saying she’s evil lacks the nuance her actions have. She’s not TRYING to cause pain, or else there are a million things she could have done differently.
