I GOTTA LET THIS OUT OF MY FRANTIC MIND RN OR I'LL DETONATE FR

!! major spoilers for book 7 part 3 !!

i couldnt watch the entirety of the stream because it got released during my class D: ALSO BIG WARNING THAT THIS IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AKDJSK i just want to ramble💥

BUT from what i got--- ? The beginning was Idia's dream most likely and ofc, its the dream he wishes were real... where Ortho's alive-- 😭😭

I missed the following part after that but it seems Malleus was invited to the orientation AT LAST??!?!?!?!! I'm presuming that no matter what dream a person is having while asleep, Malleus is a part of it where he isn't excluded and feared???

☆

Its well known now that Book 7 will heavily imply familial messages and from what we seen with Shroud Family so far, is that they were very communicative and supportive of each other in the loving way possible.

I assumed they were strict and cold parents before but I'm glad its wrong, cuz this is such a nice twist 💕 their dynamic reminds me of disney Hera and Zeus affection on Hercules--- I wonder if theyre showcasing this as parallel of Diasomnia's??? So far in canon, most of them rarely talk about much they actually mean w each other or even being wholesome like the Shrouds were lol But still... its undeniable theyre family as wellll 🙏

Seems like the groovy nowadays are more 'wholesome'??? i wonder if theyre taking their whole message that "every villain isnt just purely a villain/evil" more strongly now-- 👀 idk if that will correlate w book 7 but i hope they (the devs) take time to finalize it since the impact of this overblot is so severe even I cant predict how they can mend this KAJSKAK

○

I really have to watch Mickey Through the looking glass, the references are killing me--

ALSO YESSS HIGH FIVE WITH MICKEYY AAAA 🥺💕💕 IM SO glad Yuu remembers what happened!!! IVE BEEN HOPING FOR THAT, that they got to have a big role for this book!!😭😭 Thank you TWST for hearing Yuu stans collective wishes--

this is actually Mickey's Dream... The date seems to be flipped and many theorized its flipped number 15, which is Silver's Birthdate-- 👀 idk what that means and why on Mickey's place?? and beside the mirror as well💥

♡

you know that GIF of Charlotte (Princess and the Frog) squealing with a newspaper??? THATS MEEEE--- AAAA SILYUUU FEAST!! SILYUU FEAST!!!! SILYUU NATION SO BLESSEDDD😭💖💖💖💖

when he says hold on tight while the surroundings crumbles down and we're about to get swallowed by ink blots, it is so!!!!! *delusional mind* SO ROMANTIC OF HIMMM 😭💖💕😭💖💕omg,,,, what a shoujo moment, we are winning everyone 👍🤲💕🤌✨🙌🙌

ALSO UNIQUE MAGIC REVEAL HOOYAAAHH🙌🙌

also his magic is so complicated 😭😭 theres A LOT of conditions to be met before it can even be used--

i wonder if thats similar to how Ortho said that for Mickey to appear in the mirror (at book part 1 where the first years are at the cafeteria) , certain conditions should be met??? I mean, Silver And yuu have some parallels already... esp the fact that Lilia says during when yuu felt unwell at the party, he stated its similar to Silvers face when hes about to fall asleep--

□

Afterwards is Sebek's dream..... we alll collectively sobbed at this part of the livestream HNGGGG sebek why would ur dream be like that-- IT HURTS SO MUCH 😭😭😭

Malleus accepting his graduation(?) from NRC with no qualms, Lilia graduating as well and leaving for Red Dragon Nation because of his internship and not his weakening magic...🥺💔💔

Sebek's reaction at Malleus overblotting was the most relatable one (fear and disbelief) over others and his dream was the mirror to what we(the fandom) wouldve wished what happened-- IM SOBBING WHY U DO THIS SEBEK AIDUHFJEUFN!!!😭😭😭💥💔

DONT EVEN. GET ME STARTED. ON HOW DOTING LILIA WAS TO SILVER..!!!! like wthhksjdj THATS SO EVIL TWST!!! THATS SO LETHAL MALLEUS OHMYGOD--- so evil to use everything silver wanted from lilia just for him to stay in this dream where::

-lilias healthy, lilia is staying w silver, lilia is caring to him, and how hes returning to briar valley to live with him forever??? BRO HOW MANY TEARS WERE SHEDDING TONIGHT HUH...--💔💔💔😭😭😭

●

MALLEUS IS SO MAD WE WOKE UP SEBEK OHMYGOODNESS 💥💥💥😭😭😭

I always love his voice, it seems his tone is so harsh and cold now when he overblotted its so sexy--- and at the same time terrifyingggg 👍🛐 Kazuki Kato, I love his performance in this, this is so haunting in the most agonizing way 😭💚💚

... NOT TSUNOTAROU GOING FULL BOARD ON THE DELUSIONAL LAND BESTIE I KNEW YOU WERE BAD BUT THIS IS ON A WHOLE NEW TIER OF BADNESS OORAUGJ😟💥💥

HIS ATTACKS ARE SO COOL AAAAAA I WAS AMAZED AND SCARED THE WHOLE TIME I CANT WAIT TO MEET HIM ON TWST EN OMGGG😩🙏🙏

■

byeee i never wrote a reaction post as long as this before KDJKAKD

theyre really dropping the obvious hints that crowley is a fae alright....⁉️⁉️👀👀

THE ALL AWAITED GENERAL VANROUGE REVEALLL!!!!!! im just.... oh... have we all PROPERLY look at him??? RIGHT NOW IM STILLLL SAVORING ALL THOSE DETAILS!!! MY GOODNESS---

i basically sped read allllll the musings twst twt and tumblr have been swooning about him and OH HE DESERVES ALL THE ADMIRATION 🙏🙏🙏ESPECIALLY HIS MAGIC AT HIS ENTRANCE!!!!!! ARE U KIDDING THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLL THE BATS SWAYING AND THE RED SPARKLES BEFORE HE TELEPORTED?????? SHIT I WOULDVE PASSED OUT FROM AMAZEMENT RIGHT THEN AND THERE-- BEGGING ON MY KNEES TO GET THAT ANIMATED 😩😩😩🙏🙏

AND IT ALL ENDED JUST LIKE THAT AAAIUSIAUSU!!!!! 😩😩😩 I WANT MORE BUT AAAA too much information will make me overload now akdjksd another long few more months before part 4 releases 😳😳 AND OOO I CANNOT WAITTT

my prediction is that theyre delving more into briar valleys history in the lens of Lilia's past.

My interpretation is that Lilia's dream related to his past is bcs he kind of whispered to himself that the reason hes leaving is because of his weakening state and how he doesnt want to wish anyone to see him like that.... I guess his wish was that he could be as strong as he was before... Really reminds me of Mulan's father 😭

IM WISHING DESPERATELY FOR MORE YUU RELATION NEXT PART AND THIS TWITTER THREAD SUMS UP ALL MY SPECULATIONS AS TO WHY YUU ISNT INVOLVED IN THE DREAMS WE HAVE SO FAR

"malleyuu divorce" is my fave phrase from op from now on lol

livestream of book 7 part 3

RPF

just an absolute crack fantasy I thought of while I danced around my room to my groovy playlist

Joe Quinn x Black!Reader

Catching Joe's attention at a club during Disco Night!

Ok, girlies, I know my mom wasn't the only one who introduced me to funk 😤

Now, Joe's taste in music is the timeless, groovy kind, so you know he takes the opportunity to go to "Disco Night! themed attire suggested"

He goes with a couple of mates, including Jamie Bower.

When the night is in full swing, he notices you getting hyped up by some people around you.

You are on the opposite side of the club, but since you were on a raised platform and he was up higher, a more private platform with tables, he got a perfect view of you.

The colorful strobe lights danced across your glowing skin and glittery outfit. Now that we saw you, it was hard to miss you. How has he not seen you earlier?

He couldn't quite hear you, but he could tell you were belting out every lyric to "I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Khan.

You were fully in character, totally carefree, having the time of your life.

You appear to be with two other girls, both playing the part of your background singers.

You'd turned your little platform into a stage. The few people around you on the dance floor were facing you and your friends, cheering you on. Their cheers only seemed to inflate your "stage presence".

Seeing you makes Joe chuckle. You're cute.

Jamie is the one who urges him to get closer to you, but he stays back for the entire night just watching you every chance he got.

You didn't seem to run out of energy. You knew every song. You were totally in your element.

Your little stank face when the opening bass thumps of "Tell Me Somethin' Good" came through the speakers was adorable.

Your dramatic, 'seductive' shoulder dance to "Careless Whisper" was adorable.

The sassy persona you took on with your friends during "It's Raining Men" was adorable.

Everything about you had the man hooked.

A part of him wanted to be a part of you.

The other part of him, though, was in his head about his celebrity status.

His recent blow-up following Stranger Things made him nervous to interact with new people.

It has been over a year since season 4 premiered, but the adoring crowd only grew and didn't seem to be doing down any time soon.

What if you already knew who he was?

That would make things a little awkward, right?

Suddenly, he was no longer just a guy at a club. He was "Joseph Quinn". Not just Joe.

Before he knows it, the clock strikes 2, and the club is closing.

He's not nearly as wasted as he thought he'd be, but he still was able to enjoy his night, nonetheless.

He turned his head for only a second when someone addressed him during their farewells, but in that second, he'd lost sight of you in the crowd.

He'd be lying if he'd say his heart didn't drop with disappointment.

You every see like a really hot person at an airport, passing by you on the street, or in a car next to you?

This was that moment for Joe.

He wanted to know you, get your name, maybe your number, but you disappeared into thin air.

Phantom Crossed Paths.

He headed down the tall staircase with the remaining few of his mates and made his way outside with them.

They were all chatting it up, turning the corner of the building to the parking lot just adjacent. That's when he noticed you for a second time, immediately.

You were still with your friends, talking enthusiastically with each other next to a car.

A few fellow club goers would compliment you in passing as they made it to their respective vehicles.

Joe started to get a bit clamy.

Should he shoot his shot?

Why not? What's the worst that could happen?

You'd either say no thanks to a stranger in the club parking lot or you'd ask him for a picture or something.

Fuck it.

He abandons his mates, who shouted questions after him, but he just dismissed them with a "be right back"

He walks right up to you and your two friends.

You were in the middle of laughing at something with that beautiful smile of yours.

"Pardon me." He catches your attention immediately. You had a shocked and slightly confused look on your face. His formal tone took you off guard.

As soon as your eyes land on him, Joe's done for. You were looking right at him.

It felt weird. He'd just spent the last several hours watching you in third person, like a movie, yet here you are, seeing him.

"Hi." You say with a small, polite smile.

"Hi, uh, sorry. I probably should've thought of what to say before I came up to you." He chuckles.

Your brows furrow, and you let out a breathy laugh, "Come up to me?"

"Yeah, sorry. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are, and I just wanted to shoot my shot before it's too late."

Your brows skyrocket, and you look him up and down shamelessly. "You are shooting a shot with me? Are you sure?" You ask in disbelief.

Joe chuckles, "I'm sure. Experiencing your joy from afar just wasn't good enough for me." He loosely gestures to the club building. "I want to get to know you up close." At this moment in time, he has no idea what he was saying. He was just hoping, whatever it was, was working.

You scoff in shock, a small smile playing on your lips as you look up at him with doe eyes.

"She only quiet cause she thinks you're cute. The answer is yes. You can have her number." One of your friends butt in from behind you.

You whip your head around to glare at her, giving a silence "Shit the fuck up" look

Joe grins widely and takes out his phone.

He's already got his contacts pulled up and ready to go by the time you turn back.

"If you really do think I'm cute, well you do me the honors?"

There's a slight bit of hesitation for giving out your number to a stranger, but he's cute, so what the heck.

He looks down at the new contact. He says your name with ease and a smile on his face, "A beautiful name for a beautiful face."

The way your name rolled off his tongue made you smile. "And you are, stranger?" You ask him.

It's his turn to be shocked. His brows raise, and his eyes widen. You don't know him?

You take the shock as him not realizing he didn't properly introduce himself.

His shocked face is adorable.

"Joe. My name's Joe."

You smile and nod, repeating his name. "That'll be easy to remember"

He nods with a big smile, "I'll, uh, Can I call you later?"

You quickly turn into a shy school girl, twisting side to side with your hands behind you with a shy smile. You nod. "I look forward to it, Joe."

He smiles impossibly wider, nodding and walking backward towards his awaiting mates. "Talk to you later!" He turns to jog back over to his buddies.

You could tell they were teasing and cheering him on, but the voices of your own teasing friends turned you around.

"My baby got hit on by an actually cute guy!" The same friend who interrupted earlier chimes in.

"Oh my GOD, bitch. Do you know who that was?" you other friend asked

you look at her confused, "You do?"

"The guy I was fangirling over! Eddie from Stranger Things?! I've been trying to get you to watch it for forever, and you still haven't!"

Your eyes widen in realization.

"I told you I don't want to pay for Netflix just to watch one show!"

"I can't believe he wanted my number?!"

"Bitch, stfu. Your hot af. Of course, he wanted your number!"

Literal death by surprise.

He definitely calls you that same night when he gets back to his hotel.

You confess that you didn't know him at first (and still don't know much about him), but your friend did spill the beans about him being a popular actor.

He's up front with you and let's you know that he's not in town for long as he's doing promo stuff all over the place, but he lets it be known that he doesn't want to just hit and quit.

You two bond over music.

He sets up a private date for you two to go on later that week.

You're not one for small talk, and thank God neither is he.

On your date, you guys talk about some many different topics.

You may not know either other's favorite color, but you do know each other's stance on the current state of the internet and celebrity/stan culture.

On top of your pretty face, Joe finds himself entranced by your mind and inner beauty.

Even after he leaves town, you'll definitely be staying in contact.

*rapidly wiggling my eyebrows* guurrrrrlllllll 💅💅

Raven Crowley Broomquet Interview

Similar to last year, I wrote some quick dialogue for the interview questions and sketched a little something for Raven’s birthday card this year~ In the first year, I had commissioned an initial illustration, a Groovy, and wrote some voice lines.

It’s her Broomquet this time, and I decided to make the other birthday character her interviewer 😆 Ignore that this is coming to you one day late—

Happy Birthday!

Raven: Hehehe 🎵 What a most merry time of year. It won’t be long now before my birthday interviewer appears before me. They’re picked at random, so it could be potentially anyone! Oh, I feel as though I may burst any second from the excitement!

Leona, off to the side with his arms folded: …

Raven: Yup! They’ll be here any minute now.

Leona, hand to temple: …

Raven: Aaaany… minute… now…!

Leona, starting to look mildly annoyed: … Oi. Get your head out of the clouds and stop ignoring what’s right in front of you.

Raven, wincing: … Please don’t tell me… Are you my interviewer, Leona-san?

Leona: Would you look at that. Took you long enough. What are the chances, hmm?

Raven: Pretty low, actually!! Of the hundreds and hundreds of students at Night Raven College… It had to be you who was picked? (What terrible misfortune!)

Leona: That’s not a very grateful way to speak to your interviewer and birthday twin. I thought you’d have more decorum than that, canary.

Leona: Shouldn’t you be proud of me for not skipping out on this momentous occasion? You always get on my case whenever I miss a lecture. Be consistent, will you?

Raven, embarrassed: Hnngh…! V-Very well, I concede—you do have a valid point. Perhaps I was a bit quick to be wary.

Raven: It would not do for me to spoil the mood on this festive day, nor waste our time. We have so precious little of it. Shall we begin the interview? The sooner we start, the sooner we end. Such is the sweet sorrow of parting…

Leona: Hmph, that’s more like it. I knew you had it in you. Let’s knock this out so I can get back to my birthday cat nap.

Leona: Alright, first question. How good are you at flying?

Raven: I’m most excellent at it!

Leona: … You are?

Raven: Y-Yes! Is that really so hard to believe!

Leona: You’re lying through your teeth.

Raven: Ex-CUSE me?! Who are you to insult my flying abilities when you are a creature of the land?

Leona: Don’t kid yourself. Everyone has seen you fly once or twice in P.E. and they all say you do it worse than a blind bat. I’d say you’re about on the same level as the octopunk.

Raven: H-How rude! If you meant flying in the human sense, then you should have specified! I’m very well aware that my flight skills need some... practice.

Raven: But can you really blame me?! It’s extremely difficult to adjust to an entirely different body shape and mechanism for the procedure. A human lacks the same aerodynamicism and compactness that a bird does.

Raven: I assure you that I am more than capable of flying well! ... in my original form.

Leona: Yeah? All I hear are excuses.

Leona: I’m just “a creature of the land” according to you--but this “creature of the land” can outfly you any day of the week.

Raven: Ngh...!! Must you remind me?! I-It’s obvious that the captain of the Magift Club would be skilled at flying. You must have worked diligently to be at your level of mastery. I lack that time and training.

Leona: Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. Who knows? One thing’s for sure, though: if all you do is sit around and whine about what you don’t have, then you’ll never get over it or change.

Raven: Oh? That’s ironic coming from you, Leona-san. You also...

Raven: ... No, never mind. I misspoke.

Leona: ...

Leona, groaning: When I was still a furball, I’d play chess with this old coot in the palace. He’s a lot like you, feathers and all. Always running his mouth at me, being a real pain in my tail. But you know what? That geezer could kick my ass in chess.

Leona: ‘Course, I didn’t take it lying down. I’d make a racket and demand rematches. I’d win some, I’d lose some, but no matter what, I’d get back up again every time.

Leona, with a smirk: Now? I can beat him with both arms tied behind my back.

Raven: Was there a moral in that story about not giving up? It felt like you were also just rubbing your victories in some poor old man’s face.

Leona, laughing dryly: Hah. Very good. Gold star for you.

Leona: My point still stands. You want to complain? How about you put forth some effort and do something about yourself before you talk about others? I know where my strengths lie. Do you?

Raven: ...!!

Raven, reluctantly: You’re... You’re right. If I want to improve my flying, then it is action, not words, that will see me through to that end! Starting tomorrow, I should try to squeeze in at least 30 minutes of flight practice after class.

Leona: That’s the spirit.

Raven: You’ll help me, right, Leona-san?

Leona: ... What?

Raven: I don’t have the proper form or formulas memorized yet. Since you’re the expert in this, it would be helpful to have you as my tutor.

Raven: Besides, weren’t you the one encouraging me a few minutes ago? It’s your job as a responsible upperclassman to aid the underclassmen in need of your assets.

Leona: I wasn’t volunteering to chase you around! Go find someone else to babysit you.

Leona: Next is... What’s your favorite thing about having magic?

Raven: Heheheh, isn’t it obvious? Clearly, the best thing about having magic is...

Raven, striking a silly pose: THIS!!

Leona: ...

Leona: And just what am I looking at?

Raven, flailing her arms: Y-You know! THIS!!

Leona: ... Posing stupidly? That’s your favorite thing about having magic?

Raven: Gah, why do you always have to phrase it so simply?!

Leona: Isn’t that what it is? Stop kidding yourself by dressing it up with fancier words. You’re just posing weirdly to try and look cool while you use magic. End of story.

Raven: That’s not all!! It’s the range of movement that I most enjoy about using magic.

Raven: Humans have the same number of limbs as birds, yes--but humans also have more joints, which allows them to move in complex ways while spellcasting.

Raven: There’s no one set way to cast a fire spell. You could wave your arms in different, complex patterns to summon fire balls, fire columns, fire circles...

Raven: It’s fascinating when you think of it like that! You’d think that a bird would have more flexibility, but humans actually surpass them in that aspect.

Leona: Magic can manifest any number of ways, it just depends on how you visualize it and command it. Posing has little to do with the form magic takes.

Raven: W-Well, it still adds a nice dramatic flair and dynamicism!! Especially in combat situations!

Leona, sighing: Listen to yourself. You sound like some kid that hasn’t even cast their first spell yet, running around waving a stick for a magical pen and shouting nonsense, getting excited about looking cool.

Leona: Like Cheka.

Raven: Aw, that actually sounds really cute!!

Raven, suddenly frowning: ... Wait a minute, did you just compare me to a child?!

Leona, smirking: Aaah, he’s a real pain in the tail. He’ll only get wilder once his magic comes to him.

Raven: That’s part of the joys of childhood~ Discovering new things about the world and about yourself... It can be confusing, but it gets better with time and hands to help you along the way.

Raven: Cheka Kingscholar, the princeling of the Sunset Savanna... With that level of enthusiasm and energy, I’m sure he has potential as a mage.

Leona: You seem fine with hyperactive furballs. You should keep each other company, practice your dumb poses together and cheer each other on.

Raven: Why am I suddenly becoming your on-call babysitter?!

Leona: Look at the pot calling the kettle black. You’re the one that volunteered me as YOUR babysitter earlier. I’m only repaying the favor.

Leona: Next is... What do you do in your free time?

Leona: Don’t say reading or writing either. Anyone could already guess that.

Raven: Alright, then I...

Leona: Or making your own inks.

Raven, grimacing: ... Always one step ahead, aren’t you?

Leona: I’m familiar enough with you and your hobbies to be aware. It’s hard to ignore them when you’ve got a little bird screeching in your ear and demanding toys. Asking for pen and paper, glassware and fresh ingredients.

Raven, flustered: Aside from those activities, I find that I enjoy the mundane. There is nothing quite as relaxing as finding a comfortable spot to sit and just... watching the world go by.

Leona: Seriously? You do nothing? You might as well catch up on some Zs instead of watching grass grow.

Raven: It’s not as though I’m doing nothing! I people watch. Lots of students and staff pass through in a day, each of them different and unique. I sometimes see them and wonder what their stories are, trying to piece together observations and make a little guessing game of it.

Raven: In the town, for example. There goes the baker with his tray like always. He has bread and rolls to sell. So early in the day, he must have risen bright and early to prepare them. A hard worker with, perhaps, a family to support back home.

Raven: That girl is crying. Did she have a bad day? Heartbreak, or maybe a fight with a friend or family member. She’s scared to let others see her this way, so she hides where she thinks no one will see.

Raven: Those sorts of things. It gives me new material to work with, inspirations for my writing.

Leona: A bird that people watches instead of people who bird watch... You’ve picked up an unsavory habit from Rook and that Octopunk’s goon.

Leona, with sarcasm: I shudder to know what dark secrets you’re keeping stored away in that pretty little head of yours.

Raven: I-I did NOT learn this from anyone!! And it’s NOT unsavory!!

Leona: Saying that doesn’t make it any less creepy.

Raven: It’s nothing more than an exercise in imagination! That’s very important talent to hone as a mage.

Raven: It’s not just people I watch either. There are plenty of ideas to be gleaned from scenery, or just an item. Sometimes I find myself entranced by the things displayed in store windows.

Leona: If they catch your eye, why don’t you just buy them? Then you can stare at them all day from the comfort of your own room.

Leona, with a smirk: You know, instead of doing it out in public.

Raven, frowning: Truth be told, I have very little pocket money. Uncle is very stringent when it comes to matters of the purse... so even if I do find an item that catches my fancy, I’ll rarely ever have the money to purchase it.

Leona, scoffing: Poor you.

Raven: It’s okay! What I lack in material goods and money, I can make up for in creativity! I’ll take what I see and weave it into a story where the impossible is made possible.

Raven: Oh! Maybe I can write something from this interview.

Leona: Hah?

Raven, smiling: Because... I’ve been watching you this whole time, Leona-san! And you’ve been watching me as well. It could make for an interesting story, perhaps the same narrative told from two totally different perspectives.

Raven: The world can look so different from another person’s eyes and perspective. Don’t you think so?

Leona: Whatever you say.

Leona: Next is... If you could fly anywhere, where would you go?

Raven: I write about many far away places in my stories, but I haven’t had a chance to visit many of them. The next best thing I can do is to research them well, then recreate them as settings to the best of my abilities. Ideally, I would like to visit some of them someday.

Raven: I would love to experience habitats that I’m unfamiliar with, just for the experience. The ocean floor, the sprawling savanna, frozen tundras, mountain villages, massive cities... Perhaps they would come with some unpleasant experiences, but I feel that those, too, would be valuable for expanding my horizons.

Leona, sarcastic: Keen on the savanna? If that’s the case, you’re welcome to the Sunset Savanna as a guest of the crown whenever your little heart pleases. I’m sure my exalted older brother would just love to entertain you.

Raven: Hold on just one moment! I... I never said that was my top choice!

Leona: Yeah, then what is?

Raven, looking slightly uncomfortable: ... There is one place I wish to visit. It’s the Castle of the Loveless King in the Shaftlands.

Leona: That dusty old site? Thought the lizard was the only one into roaming ruins. That place isn’t anything special.

Raven: But you know the tale, don’t you?

Leona: Of course I do. It’s taught in Magic History, second year.

Raven: Once upon a time, there was a king who loved no one but himself. On a dark and stormy night, an old woman appeared at his door, asking for shelter from the rain. The king rejected her twice, and before she asked the third time, the old woman offered a rose, claiming it as a symbol of everlasting love.

Raven: She pleaded with the king, warning him that it was not too late to change the course of his path. When he rejected her a third and final time, the old woman shed her robes and revealed herself to be a powerful fairy enchantress.

Raven: She cursed him with immortality, so that he would witness the world and all the love it encompassed pass him by. But instead the king relished in the curse, growing even more daring and cruel. Slowly, the people around him left, fearing for their own lives. And the king was left loveless and alone, withering away in his castle.

Raven: By the time he realized what he had loss, it was too late for him to get it back. So the story goes.

Raven, to herself: (... It’s not the complete story. Only I will ever know what truly happened to him.)

Raven: That castle where the Loveless King fell... it’s important to me. That was where I was first taken in by my “father”--and he was the one that directed me to Uncle. It’s really where my story started. It’s where I learned to write. I want to honor my heritage by visiting it again.

Raven: Admittedly, father was not... the ideal parent. But he tried his best to raise me with an understanding of the world before releasing me into it. I’ve always regretted that we were not able to fully reconcile before he...

Raven: ...

Raven: I want to learn more about where he came from, his history before having me. Starting at the castle is my first and only clue.

Raven: Father was the one that allowed me to live this life. I owe him a great debt, so I wish to honor his humble beginnings.

Leona, crossing his arms: Hmph. You’re really concerned with legacy, huh.

Raven: Legacy is important, after all. You must know, being a prince yourself. You have a lot of expectations on your shoulders.

Leona: Ugh, don’t remind me. The last thing I want in this world is to flatter my ancestors by repeating the exact same mistakes they made.

Leona: Times have changed. We need to change with it and adapt, or risk losing ourselves to the wilderness.

Raven: (Risk losing ourselves...)

Leona: In the Sunset Savanna, we say the great kings of old are embedded in the sky. They’re the stars themselves, watching over each and every one of us. The idea is that if we’re ever lost, we look up to them for guidance.

Leona: But what can the dead do for the present? We can look back on them, ask them for advice, but we can’t rely on the past to pave the way to the future. That can only be done by people who are here and now. People like you and me, canary.

Raven: !!

Leona: Look back all you want, but don’t stay fixated on it. The future is littered with prizes--you’ll miss them if you’re not focused.

Raven: ... I understand.

Raven: Dead men tell no tales. That’s why their legacies live on in us. We must serve as the torchbearers that carry their stories with us to the future--not for their stories to be repeated, but for the next generation to understand where they came from, and to learn from it.

Raven: I will keep moving forward.

Raven, pensive: You as well, Leona-san. You... should also keep looking forward.

Leona: ... Hmph. Looks to me like you’re living up to your old man’s legacy just fine by doing your own thing.

Leona: Let’s get a move on.

Leona: Next is... What’s one thing you hope to do this year?

Raven: I’d like to get better at communicating face-to-face.

Leona: Oh yeah? That’s a first. You always have your head shoved in a book one way or another. Thought you’d be comfortable sticking to that.

Raven: Yes, and that’s part of the problem...! I tend to prefer the company of books over people. The issue is that I tend to fumble in conversation... Maybe I’m too formal, or too stilted, or too uptight, or just too awkward... Or maybe I say something but it comes off the wrong way because my emotions aren’t fully coming through in how I say the words out loud.

Raven: It makes communication a challenge if I’m not writing down my thoughts--but it’s unrealistic to think that I’ll always have paper on me to write on. I have to get used to communicating clearly with just spoken word.

Raven: I wish I were as free-spirited as Kalim-senpai is. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is amicable with everyone.

Raven: Then there’s Silver-senpai, who is earnest and lives in harmony with the woodland critters.

Raven: Both he and Kalim-senpai are so kind, honest, and approachable. They have boons I can only dream of having myself.

Leona: You’re definitely different from those two, that’s for sure.

Raven: Urk!! I knew I was lacking in this area, but you needn’t affirm it so bluntly!!

Leona: Hah? Whaddya mean? I’m stating an objective, neutral fact. It’s not inherently a bad thing.

Raven: Eh?

Leona: They’ve got their own strengths. So what? You’ve got yours. Weaknesses too.

Leona: Let’s say Kalim was meeting an important dignitary. Sure, he’d chat them up real good, but he also has no filter. If he messes up, that’s it. He’s offended the potential business partner, and no trade deal goes through.

Leona: But you’re cautious. You know when to hold your tongue. You wouldn’t have made that same slip-up.

Leona: Stick you at a party though? That’s where Kalim would thrive and you’d merge with the wallpaper.

Leona: It’s not the skill that matters, but the setting and how the skill is used.

Raven: That’s true... That’s also part of what’s so complicated about speaking with others face-to-face. There are variables you cannot control, another person whose responses you must account for. Things constantly changing.

Raven: When I write, I can manipulate each and every aspect of the conversation. I have as much time as I need to think of a response.

Raven: I just hope it will come to me with practice. I’ve been pushing myself to go out of my comfort zone lately, staying behind class to exchange a few words with my first-year peers. Even this conversation that we’re having now is considered part of my training regimen!

Leona: Good for you.

Raven: Come to think of it, you’re quite well-articulated yourself, Leona-san. Er, when you want to be. It must come with the royal tutoring.

Leona, slightly amused: You don’t say. Am I riveting enough of a conversation partner for you?

Raven, warily: Well... You’re certainly not Prince Charming, but you’re a prince with your own ‘unique’ charm. Let’s leave it at that, shall we?

Leona: Next is... What is your best subject?

Raven: That would be Ancient Curses.*

[*NOTE: In the official localization, this subject is called “Ancient Magic”.]

Leona: No kidding. It looks like birds of a feather flock together after all.

Raven: Eh, you too?!

Leona: Yeah. ‘s not all bad. It’s a test of your wits, not just busy work to waste time.

Raven, smiling: I know, it’s so interesting!! Deciphering ancient languages, unlocking spells wanted to be kept secret... It’s like solving a puzzle or a riddle, so it’s really satisfying when you finally find the answer. It feels like you earned the right to see it!

Leona: Huh. You’re pretty gung-ho about this.

Raven: I have a personal fascination with it as a writer.

Raven: I mainly write stories in the common tongue, but there are many languages spoken in Twisted Wonderland, each with its own unique grammatical and social rules.

Raven: And in Ancient Curses, we often look at languages no longer spoken. That is to say, dead or extinct languages. Words forgotten by the natural passage of time, or purposefully buried by its original authors.

Raven: If we unearth those words, we can learn more about what once was, and all the things we have yet to understand. There is much knowledge and wisdom from the past that we’ve yet to find.

Raven: Ancient Curses is the bridge between now and then.

Leona: Guess so.

Leona: You talk about it like you’re looking for something. Did a forbidden dark magic spell catch your eye?

Raven: An answer. I’m looking for an answer.

Raven: (... for this curse of mine.)

Leona: Aren’t we all.

Raven: What are you hoping to get out of your Ancient Curses studies?

Leona: Me? Nothing much. It helps keep me momentarily amused. I’m not looking for the secret to life or the cure to disease or whatever.

Leona: Unlike you, I don’t have any lofty ambitions.

Raven: What a shame. With your abilities, you just may be able to uncover whatever you like.

Raven: In fact, I would say I detected a hint of sarcasm just now, when you said you don’t have any lofty ambitions. It’s not good to tell little white lies, Leona-san.

Leona, with a laugh: Hah! Thanks for the vote of confidence, canary. You put your faith in the strangest of places.

Raven: I don’t think it’s so strange. The flowers in Heartslabyul’s gardens do stranger things than believe in lions. ‘You can really do it if you put your mind to it’... That saying is true for everyone!

Leona: Now that’s some topysy-turvy logic if I’ve ever heard of it.

Leona: As for your ‘answer’... if you manage to find it, be so generous as to share those secrets with the rest of us, won’t you?

Raven: Hehe. Of course I will. That’s a promise!

Leona: We’re done here.

Raven: And not a moment too soon!

Leona, sarcastic: Yeah, yeah, I get it. You’re just so eager to be free of my clutches. I won’t take a second more of your precious time.

Leona, with a smirk: Here. Your bouquet. It’s the first and only time I’ll hand you flowers, so enjoy it while you can.

Raven, flatly: Thank you.

Raven: ... Oh my. What a lovely bouquet. Dark blue and burgundy flowers with speckles of small white and gold flowers... It looks like the night sky. They would make for a lovely color of enchanted ink.

Raven: I don’t recognize a lot of these, but blue roses aren’t natural, are they?

Raven: (It’s like me. Something that doesn’t belong, placed there artificially... but it’s still a part of the bouquet, still a part of the story.)

Raven: If I recall correctly, blue roses mean “mystery”, “the unattainable”, and... “a dream come true’.

Leona: Ever the romanticist. Are you going to stand there stalling for time, or are you actually going to fly the Birthday Road? I’m going to see your flying again one way or another. You might as well get it over with now with some grace intact.

Raven: I-I will! I was just admiring the composition of the bouquet before I left! (Oh, WHY did he have to point that out?!)

Raven, getting on the broom and clearing her throat: W-Well then, if you’ll excuse me! I must be off!

Leona: Finally off to see the world? Bring me back a souvenir and a good story while you’re at it, canary.

Raven: I make no such promises, Leona-san!

I'll make it straight because, as a person who grew up with Scooby-Doo, I cannot stand that.

1. Velma (2023-) is shit. I didn't even watch it (beside the trailer and someone's commentary) and already had nightmares, really.

2. I know Scooby's brand is quite popular and has earned a lot of money, but making that shit is just absurd. Even Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! is better.

3. I don't mind making a show about a teen girl who tries to find her mother(?) and has strange friends(?)[I am not aware of the plot of the Velma series and what is happening there. With plot of course.], but if you use characters from a long-running show and ruin them, you show no respect to the original fans. You show no respect at all.

4. Why didn't the creators of Velma make a better connection to Scooby-Doo by appearance (they did, but it could have been done better) or something? The names could be changed to Vicky, Dee-Dee, Frank, Noah, or others! Then they would be different characters!

But let's be honest: no one would watch it then. If you use popular characters (like in Velma), people will be like, "A new Scooby-Doo-based series, Yay!"

And what if Velma was only a parody? Then it should at least change the characters' names (like in the Groovy Gang) or it could be just a one-shot. That's my opinion.

I tried to find some Scooby-Doo-like cartoons (where there are four people and a pet solving crimes). There are plenty of them (mostly Hanna-Barbera). So, there is an option to make something different without using the names and appearances of existing characters.

And one more thing about this below:

It's better if Scooby-Doo stays in the FNaF universe than in Velma.

Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed was the first live-action Scooby movie I watched.

That’s all, thanks for attention.

Edit:

Why?

| INSUFFERABLE INTRODUCTION

Good day to anyone who has stumbled upon this blog, for this blog holds a little niche interest of mine: Animated/Illustrated Horrible History characters !

This blog will all be about the little historical cartoon characters that would appear in the middle of your daily dose of 2009 CBBC Horrible Histories, or perhaps on the book cover of the Horrible Histories book your reading ! (The characters that no one really thought nor cared about)

If the the topics I’ve mentioned above engrosses you, then hop along and check out the FASCINATING FUNFACTS, SILLY STORIES, CRUEL CHARACTERS, AND PLENTY MORE TO COME !

| TERRIBLE TOPICS

Topics and ideas that I will (most likely) talk about often are …

ANIMATED (2009 CBBC) HORRIBLE HISTORY CHARACTERS

HORRIBLE HISTORIES BOOK COVER CHARACTERS

CRABBY CLASH (My Horrible Histories AU)

Martin Brown (Illustrator of Horrible Histories)

Horrible Histories art

Horrible Histories (in general)

This blog will also be a little roleplay blog, you can ask any animated Horrible History character anything in the inbox ! (Well not ANY thing, just don’t be weird.)

| THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

I will be addressing the characters by their fanon/canon names time to time, and so if you ever get confused which character I’m referencing to, you can check out the CHARACTER NAME LIST !

When I post my HH art, most of the time it’ll be in Martin Brown’s Art style/Horrible Histories Art style; I do NOT “own” the art style nor do I profit/make money off of it. I really love Martin Brown’s art and I enjoy drawing in his style BUT I do not claim it as my own art style.

HHAC = Horrible History Animated Characters

This blog is ran by a MINOR ! Don’t be weirdo >:-(

| CRABBY CLASH

“What is it anyways ?”

Crabby Clash is a Horrible Histories AU that centers around the historical eras/periods going to war against each other, it focuses more on the cartoon HH characters rather than the non-animated ones like Bob Hale, Sam, Cliff Whiteley, etc … BUT they are in fact canon in the AU !

It’ll be mentioned here on this blog at times, just not that often (because I am shy and I don’t come up with ideas often) !!

In the Crabby Clash (also known as the “Era War”), there are 6 sides composed of different historical eras that have formed an alliance.

IN ALLIANCE:

“United Steam Front” (Frightful WWI, Woeful WWII, Blitzed Brits, Troublesome 20th century, Vile Victorians)

“Primordial Pact” (Angry Aztecs, Incredible Incas, Savage Stone Age)

“Floral Fortress” (Awesome Egyptians/Awful Egyptians, Groovy Greeks, Smashing Saxons)

“British Isles Compact” (Slimy Stuarts, Gorgeous Georgians)

“Crusader Coalition” (Stormin’ Normans, Measly Middle Ages)

“Imperial Triumph” (Terrible/Terrifying Tudors, Radical Renaissance, Rotten Romans)

NOT IN AN ALLIANCE:

Vicious Vikings

Fabulous French

(Awesome USA) Cowboys (Part of it have alliances with “United Steam Front”)

Putrid Pirates

Cut-Throat Celts

You’ll learn more about this AU in future posts !

| EPILOGUE

I ran out of things to mention but thanks for reading and I hope you’re willing to see more animated HH posts and content from me ! :-D (I will update this introduction time to time)

All right but let's have your take on the Redmaynes in return for that character breakdown meme!

Head in hands I've only listened to the music uhhhh

I'll do Johnnie. Because that's all I'll do without embarrassing myself.

- I think he's interesting! He gives me relatively young vibes, and I'm biased towards his songs because I think Dead Man's Hand is groovy

- I don't know. Yesn't.

- uhhh Johnnie x Living.

- he should stare at Buck menacingly.

- I wish he appeared more. But unfortunately. He's roaming forever in the desert.

Craig of The Creek Week 2023✨️

Prompt 3: Past/Future

Rating: E for Everyone :3

"A Glimpse Into The Future,"

Starring Characters: Tabitha, Courtney, Stacks and Kelsey

Summary: Stacks, Kelsey, Tabitha and Courtney have a black out during a sudden thunderstorm at Groovy Smoothie. When the lights flicker back on and the chaos dies down however; it appears the quad of girlies have been transported to the far future, where having fun is outlawed and magic is a lost art.

Story Type: Short Story; Warning! LONG POST

●●●

"So, there's a NEW Ythrith of Scriggith book coming out, but this time TWO NEW CHARACTERS are being added!!! Dude do you know what this MEANS?!" Kelsey excitedly jumped around Stacks, who held a few thicker books in her scrawny arms as they walked down the street to Groovy Smoothie.

Looking overhead, Stacks noticed a dark, menacing cloud looming overhead, the scent in the air changing almost instantly as the wind picked up.

"Yeah, Kelsey I know you're excited; but I think we should hurry up and make our way to the shop quicker than this. Look..." Stacks pointed towards the sky, gaining Kelseys attention for a moment before it was abruptly stopped by the sudden flash of a blinding, white light and rumbling sky.

The two girls ran with haste to the smoothie store, breathing heavily as they dashed inside and closed the door shut behind them; Stacks even dropped one of her favorite books along the way.

"Hey woah, what's going on?" Courtney noticed from across the room at her counter, removing her apron and name tag as she hastily moved toward Kelsey and Stacks, who were just now regaining their breath.

"We ran here to get out the storm. I'm sorry Courtney, it's just too far from home to walk back without getting entirely soaked." As Courtney knelt down and handed the two some spare smoothies that were left behind, she smiled and nodded in understanding.

"Tabitha, clean off that booth over there would you? I'm gonna let the girls sit there to wait out the storm," Courtney motioned to the table in the far corner that looked rather dank and eerie, but hey, at least it wasn't rainy and thundery.

"Why do I have to do it?" Whined Tabitha, who did as asked anyway. Either because she had to, because she had a heart for the kids, or because of her love for Courtney (or all three), she did it anyway. As she cleaned the last bit of trash off of the booth, the storm started to pick up and get stronger; the wind once or twice throwing the door open until Courtney locked it shut and flipped the open sign to closed.

"Looks like it's getting pretty bad. Where did our Boss say that emergency thing was?" Courtney questioned Tabitha, but Tabitha just shrugged.

"I didn't pay attention in that meeting, unfortunately," Tabitha said, holding out her cellphone and rapidly texting on its glossy screen.

Zzrrtt, Zzzt...

The lights began to flicker and the wind again picked up. Worried, Courtney decided to sit with Stacks and Kelsey to ease their nerves; Stacks especially looking shaken up as such.

Zzzt, Crack!

A nearby tree downed itself into the street, causing a large, thick wall between the way home and their location longer than usual when this all cleared up. Stacks began to shake a bit with anxiety as the wind began to howl more aggressively and the rain began to hit the roof and sound like metal pellets being shot toward the inside from the rooftop.

With each crack of thunder, Kelsey noticed the tension in Stack's body and couldn't bear the silence any longer. With a deep, calm breath in and out, Kelsey bravely spoke forward.

"Ya know, this is just like one of the stories I read, where this thunderstorm-"

CRACK! BOOM! ZZZ...ZZRRTT!!!

In a sudden instant, the lights went out, and everything shut off all at once. It was so dark outside. It was almost like you couldn't see anything out there in any of the large windows displayed within the store. Not the street, the other buildings outside, the cars, nothing. The four girls couldn't even see themselves.

In a span of what seemed like forever, the storm let up to visiblity; the rain still pelting hard and the wind howling against the building, and the lights came back on within the smoothie store.

As the girls looked around them, they realized they were no longer in a smoothie store but rather huddled together in a grocery store with robotic employees and holographic ads strewn about.

As they looked at each other, each of them noticed they didn't quite look as they did before. They were all older adults, in their mid to late twenties, in strange cyberpunk-esque clothing and dawning cybernetic implants.

"What.is.going.on?" Tabitha demanded an explanation, harshly whispering amongst the group about their whereabouts. Courtney, who looked drastically different with half of her entire body being robotic, looked equally freaked out.

The once preteen Stacks had eye implants that made zooming into whatever a breeze with high definition technology, and was now a young adult. As Kelsey examined herself, she noticed she appeared muscular and thick, dawning the fewest implants of the group.

"Where are we? This isn't really...funny." Stacks pointed out the futuristic setting of the world. She noticed several posters that had images of cameras, some that had the cameras marked out, some that had images of confetti and happy-looking people silhouetted into dancing shapes crossed out, and many more.

Around them, they notice everyone looked sad, almost miserable...what happened to the world? Is this a sign of things to come?

Kelsey looked deep in thought as she took the scene in around her. Suddenly, she bolted out of the grocery store abandoning the group, only to return with a look of fear and amazement across her face.

"I think we should...let's just go outside." Kelsey threw her hands up and motioned for them to come outside.

When they stepped out, the world was blanketed in a dark sky. The rain was still falling, but the world was dreary; void of any sort of happiness or joy. The people walked solely to their jobs or to grab whatever the grey block of "nutrition" they were selling along their way to work or to home/from. The world had no color; no buildings like McDonalds or anything that might indicate a small amount of joy in this desolate world.

All around them, there were giant robots fashioned as police officers, presumably, who were ripping people off the street for what seemed like small offenses, like smiling or sharing laughter; Stacks witnessed across the street, one of those blue and red officer bots snatching a mother away from her daughter because of a hug. Nearby, the same happening, but to a child playing with a tin can they found in the street.

"Is this...supposed to happen?" Courtney questioned, tears welling in her eyes as she took it all in around her. Despite the holograms, the neon lights, the low life high tech concept this world they were thrown into had, nobody was allowed to partake in any fun, joy, happiness, pleasure, leisure, or anything inbetween. The world was solemn, silent, and quiet; hardly a world anyone would want to be in.

"FREEZE."

As the group tried to move forward and find someplace safe to group together and figure out a plan, they were halted by a RoboBot.

"FREEZE. IDENTIFICATION."

They looked at each other worryingly, careful to maintain monotone faces and stonewall eyes.

"IDENTIFICATION. PLEASE PRODUCE YOUR IDENTIFICATION."

As they fluttered their pockets, shook out their shoes and dug around in other places looking for some form of ID, none were to be found until Kelsey looked down and saw four identification cards, presumably, at their feet.

Picking them up, she handed them to the Robobot who essentially inserted the cards into its system ATM style.

"ID PROCESSING. PLEASE STANDBY."

...

They waited in silence, before a loud shrill from the robot sounded off.

"WANTED FUGITIVES FOUND. STANDBY FOR ARREST. WANTED FUGITIVES FOUND. STANDBY FOR ARREST. WANTED FUGITIVES FOUND. STANDBY-"

As the Robot blared a cherry red light and screeching noise, more robots gathered. Kelsey then noticed the emblem of a crown behind each of their backs. She knew who was behind this...all of this.

"Xavier...." She gritted her teeth together and clenched her fists shut.

A loud whopping noise in the sky could be heard as a large, floating carrier landed nearby, official Android officers pooling out of it weaponry drawn.

"ON YOUR KNEES, NOW!" one demanded, using the butt of its gun to bash Courtney into the ground.

Kelsey and Stacks looked at each other, fear riddleing their bodies as they were handcuffed with hyperhot, laser based cuffs.

"Take them to President Xavier. That's an order." The Strongest of the officer droids demanded as we were hauled into the carrier like sardines and locked in.

"President Xavier...?!" Stacks looked at Kelsey, and even more fear fell across her face. "In this future, he became pretty much big brother?!" Shuttering with fear, Stacks began to softly cry.

"I wanna go home, Kelsey..."

Kelsey felt a large wave of guilt. If she hadn't of encouraged Stacks to go to the Groovy Smoothie, if she hadn't encouraged any of this they would probably still be in their world still.

Shaking with anger, Kelsey smiled at Stacks to reassure her; not allowing her to see the fear that riddled her being.

"I have a plan."

•••

When they finally felt the carrier land, the officers took them out one by one, placing them all together before moving into the large, overpowering building above. Large drones scanned the area, and robots were protecting every nook and cranny. Except one.

As they brought our fugitives into Xaviers lair, each of them began to accept their fate; but not Kelsey. Kelsey was always the hero in her stories. This time, it's a chance to be a hero in others'.

"Well, well, well...after twenty years of hiding, here are the four that got away," a mechanical voice sounded from across the large, Hollow room in which the four stood. In the dark, a small light balanced onto a now adult Xavier, who sat in a large throne made of pieces of Cybernetic body implants.

"This world is mine now, fugitives. You can't stop me. You couldn't even stop me back then at the great capture the flag war!" With a snap of a finger, Xavier lit up the dark, Hollow room to reveal all the creek kids Kelsey and Stacks played with, even the creek Elders, frozen in the time they lost the game of capture the flag.

Craig was in the glass, frozen with a smile on his face.

Kelsey grimaced.

"You're evil!" Tabitha growled.

"And you are?" Xavier flung himself over to Tabitha, grabbing her face within one hand and flinging her back down. "Oh, the one they call Tabitha."

Looking at the four, Xavier scowled.

"There is no more fun. No more playtime. NO more toys. No more games, books, candy...it's all gone. This world lives and breathes by my order and rule; what I got is what I deserve. To thwart that just because you think you can is a sin in and of itself punishable by death," Xavier yawned, "With you four out of the way, I can finally never worry again about some stupid rebels trying to mess with my power!"

Laughing manically, Xavier pushed a large button. A hiss was heard as an echo. The four of them looked at each other in deep uncertainty. Kelsey was still waiting for the moment to strike.

"I'll ensure none of you escape...because this time, I'm going with you!" Xavier lunged forward, smiling as if he had lost his mind entirely.

Kelsey finally stood, anger welling in her face and voice as she began to force her handcuffs apart.

"Code RED!" An officer Droid called, sleep pellets flying around as everyone dove for cover. The pellets hitting some of the cryprisons were the creek kids, frozen in time, stood; causing the glass to break and them to wake up.

As the crew all banded together, they smiled at each other, all of them breaking free from their cuffs.

"It's time you freeze, Xavier!" Kelsey cried out, throwing her cuffs across Xavier's head and incapacitating and officer, using its arsenal of sleep pellets to send Xavier to a very long nap time.

As the cryofrost began to near closer to them, they looked for an exit, but there wasn't a clear one. As Kelsey looked around in the rummage and chaos left behind, she discovered the liquid in which the original creek kids were frozen was draining into an old sewage pathway.

"Guys! Over here!" Kelsey cheered, getting everyone into the sewer passage and hopefully, out of this hell.

"Stacks, keep going until you get yourself and everyone else out. I have to reprogram these robots...if I don't make it out, tell my dad I love him!" Kelsey held Stacks hands as she said those words, closing the sewer gate behind her.

Kelsey ran through numerous halls before finding the one obviously labeled "Robotics Programming," and went inside, mouth covered and body layered with clothing.

'ENTER PASSWORD' was displayed on the largest monitor. Looking around, Kelsey pieced together the password by viewing the few things left behind from his youth. Entering it, she reprogrammed the robots to discontinue their purpose and do the opposite; incarcerate those who refuse to have fun instead!

As Kelsey was leaving, the Cryofrost stopped, and after running past the room where Xavier once was, she notices he was gone. The whole building suddenly turned a bloody red, and the phrase, "Self Destruct in T-Minus 10 Minutes" rang throughout the halls.

As Kelsey ran, Xavier stopped her in her tracks.

"Youre.not.going.ANYWHERE!" he yelled, lunging at Kelsey, knocking her to the ground.

"My entire life, you and the other kids in the creek always thought I wouldn't be anything. I wouldn't be better or powerful! Ever since I stole that wish from the heart of the forest, I knew this was the life I was destined to lead. You and your stupid rebellion won't change that! No matter how many times you run, no matter how many times you piece the pieces together, you'll never be like me! You'll never be on my level!"

As he screamed, he hit Kelseys implants and ripped her mechanical arm from its mechanical socket. Screeching in pain so loudly, it could be heard in the sewers below.

Stacks teared up as she escaped the sewers with the others, hoping Kelsey would make it...

Kelsey pushed Xavier off.

"Self destruction in T-minus 3 minutes!" Kelsey stomped on Xaviers cape, and used a shard of the glass that broke during his initial attack to staple him to the floor.

"I'm sorry Xavier, but I have to go," Kelsey said, Xavier struggling to free himself.

Kelsey ran into the sewer systems, and the explosion erupted with a loud THUD; shaking the ground and causing rubble to block the entrance of the sewer. Kelsey jumped out the exit, and met Stacks in a hug.

As they embraced, Kelsey felt a tap on her shoulder, then a forceful shake.

•••

"Hey, the storms stopped," Courtney handed a smoothie to Kelsey as she gently shook her awake. As Kelsey looked around, she noticed she was back at Groovy Smoothie, back in Herkleton, and back as a child.

"Oh my gosh did I do it?" Kelsey excitedly jumped, "Did I save the world from Xaviers evil reign?!"

Stacks, Tabitha, and Courtney all laughed.

"I guess so. You took a pretty long nap for a while," Stacks laughed, "Let's head home."

"Yeah, lets." Kelsey replied, "Oh! Thank you, Courtney and Tabitha, for letting us wait here."

"Your welcome, kiddos."

Kelsey gave them a light wave, and made her way home with Stacks. What a wild adventure, Kelsey thought; how many would they have in the future?

SR Trey Clover - Tsumsitter Voice Lines

Tsumsitter Trey does not have a vignette.

Summon Line: So, looks like I ended up having to look after a tsum as well. I'll do my best to keep it out of trouble, but... Just in case, I'll apologize in advance.

Groooovy!!: We made some good progress making those sweets… Tsum, I'm glad you were there to give a helping hand.

Home: Tsum, can you grab the sugar for me?

Home Idle 1: The tsum's been staring at the meringue for some time now... Maybe it doesn't like how the whipped peaks are looking?

Home Idle 2: Was that Silver's tsum I saw lounging in the courtyard earlier? It was just lying there belly up... Not a care in the world, huh.

Home Idle 3: Vil's tsum has an aura about it that rivals Vil himself. I can't help but flinch every time I lock eyes with it, because it feels like it'll start trying to scold me on my appearance.

Home Idle - Login: Never expected to have to take care of a tsum myself... Well, I'll make sure that it doesn't cause any issues.

Home Idle - Groovy: I saw the tsum helping to placate some of my dormmates who were arguing… It was a tad strange to witness, since it felt like I was watching myself.

Home Tap 1: Looks like the tsum can tell different seasonings apart. When I was looking for some cinnamon earlier, it brought it over to me from the shelf.

Home Tap 2: Jamil's tsum made a quick U-turn as soon as it saw a line of ants crossing the road. It's deft speed was startling.

Home Tap 3: It's a small blessing that it doesn't look like the tsums can use magic. This situation is crazy enough as it is, it'd be even more of a hassle to deal with any larger problems.

Home Tap 4: You want to know how the tsum got the strawberries on top of the cake? It just tossed them up there using its tiny little body. Pretty skillful, huh.

Home Tap 5: I gave the tsum a toothbrush, and I guess it liked it, because now it won't let the thing go. Doesn't it look more like a whole-body brush?

Home Tap - Groovy: Well, you see, the tsum has been working pretty hard to make snacks to hand out to folks. If you get a chance, you should try some.

Requested by @farfalla049.

Movie Review | The Female Executioner (Caputo, 1986)

This plays like a movie that should star a grizzled, leathery older male actor like maybe Jean-Paul Belmondo, but instead stars Brigitte Lahaie, who is very much not a grizzled, leathery older male actor. And her gender complicates the material in pretty interesting ways. On one hand, Lahaie’s background in sex films explains her moody jacuzzi scenes or all the softcore, golden-lighting sex scenes that let us admire her form alongside whatever narrative justifications you can apply to them. But on the other hand, Lahaie in her day job as a cop has to navigate male-dominated environments like the police department and the streets full of lowlifes and scumbags. She’s streetwise, but not cruel, and her tactics are contrasted with the heavier hand deployed by a racist trigger-happy cop (who she becomes romantically involved with, although she offers some pushback to his tendencies) and the obviously crooked police chief. And going back to her personal life, she’s sexually active, but not a pure sex object, as the movie gives her a good deal of agency in her pursuit of men and shows her loving relationship with her very understanding and chill sister.

There’s a thoughtfulness about the way women have to navigate patriarchal spaces and the extent to which they can be feminine depending on the situation, and it extends to the other female characters as well, including the villain, the ruthless head of an illegal pornography operation and sex slavery ring, and a junkie informant. Including Lahaie, these characters all have somewhat masculine appearances (and at this point, I appreciated that the movie made the most of how cool Lahaie looks in a leather jacket) and all of whom to an extent are made vulnerable by the traces of humanity they still hold onto. Given the negative portrayal of the porno operation, it’s interesting that both Lahaie and director Michel Caputo have backgrounds in hardcore pornography, although you could argue they’re trying to differentiate the kind of work they did with the real scumbags. Anyway, there’s a scene depicting what can be best described as a balloon orgy, which you will find either bizarre or enticing depending on your proclivities.

So I think the movie is already worth watching for Lahaie’s magnetic performance and this gender element, but I found it a pretty involving thriller as well. Caputo has a good handle on the seediness of the material and while much of his direction can be described as unfussy, there’s some nice location work and lighting. The violence is pleasingly blunt when it arises, and while the movie seems to cut around Lahaie’s physical prowess during the action scenes, she more or less holds her own and I never found the editing got distracting or undermined the tension. The only real knock I have against this is the cheesy ‘70s cop show score, although the music in the club scenes is pretty groovy.
