CPC CHAPTER 161 + 162 + 163

*rises from the dead* what...what year is this...?

Look, the only thing I can say as an opening to these chapters is DAMN

Okay yeah Lorena would say this lmao.

Nahh I'm guessing Prez in her spider form does not know about Whitney apologizing and all? Because she's mainly looking at Whitney, and it looks like she took a moment to recognize who he is.

Man, Whitney really hasn't forgive himself. But at the same time I can't really blame him, y'know? I think I would have a hard time forgiving myself either if I was in his position. But! I do hope he can forgive himself and improve himself more and more. His past may be bad, but I'm sure he's looking up to a better future.

CURTIS TO THE RESCUE!!

Dang that's one way to open a big ahh door lmao XD

OH HECK NAH I HOPE MOLLY WILL BE ALRIGHT. The blood coming out of her mouth is worrying me...

Finally!! The Pastel Princesses are showing their powers! May I say Lorena's weapons are SICK. THE THORNY VINES AROUND COLONEL SNUGGLES?? SUZIE'S SWORD?? LORENA'S UHH... KUSARIGAMA?? I'm not sure what lorena's weapon is, but it reminds me of Michaelangelo's weapon from tmnt 2012.

Maria calling her animal troop HECK YEAH. The animals attacking Leland is so satisfying. Leland is lucky Maria didn't call a tiger or smth.

OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS HECK NO. Ugh I can imagine the cracking sound from Aurelia's leg. Y'know i didn't expect this ship (whether romantic or platonic) was gonna happen, but i'm not unwelcome to it.

Dangg Frederick, you go gymnastic king XD

Hah! His chanting actually made me smile XD yes frederick, you are the tiniest prince....you are the tiniest prin–

YOOOOOOO Leelathae's portrait???? I am really convinced now that Leelathae is in Gwen's dream!! I hope she's going to protect Gwen from Leland somehow, but i'm sure now that she will help realize who Gwen's true love is. Which, I'm fairly sure by now, is Gwen herself. I mean, it fits with the theme of the comic soooo

With the mix of modern and traditional technologies in cpc, i do now wonder why they don't build an elevator inside castles considering the amount of floors there are. I'm thinking...Steampunk styled elevator?

•●•

INTOOOOO LEELATHAE'S BACKSTORY!!

-> Sheesh! Leelathae's reflection is getting worse and worse... Perhaps it's because she doesn't love herself because of herself anymore? Well now that that's in mind, Gwen is kind of repeating history.

I just wanna say I love how Jack is gonna make the wedding fits both his and Leelathae's liking. I know that is an average kindess act for marriage but it's still pretty heartwarming for me.

Ngl I'm curious what Leland and Isolde's wedding was like. I hope we'll get at least a picture!

Aw, this interaction is adorable. Look at how Isolde is smiling! I hope we will get her smiling like this in the present time..

WOAH WOAH WOAH. I mean, I was sure Jack would eventually confront his parents, but dang. Actually, it makes sense how Helena and Jesse starts seeing their reflection wrong too. I think with how much they talk about their beauty, they don't love their inner self (their personality) and instead too focused on their outward beauty. So I'm guessing here that what triggers the reflection problem on people, is personal hurtful words? First with Gwen, Frederick calling her ugly. Leelathae, Helena and Jesse calling her ugly. And now with Helena and Jesse, Jack called them hideous.

But y'know what? I am so glad Jack confronted his parents. It feels SO good. He loves Leelathae so much, it's so heartwarming.

So happy that Helena and Jesse are running away on their own. Let's hope they never come back...

....huh.

I genuinely dunno how to feel about flashback Leland now. Is he being genuine? I don't know. But it's nice that he's at least trying to comfort Jack. Too bad he regrets it now tho lmao XD sucks to be you Leland hahahah.

Since Leland is comforting Jack...Um, Isolde and Leelathae moment? Lambcat? I really wanna see them just having conversation together because last time Isolde thought Leelathae was stealing her food xd

Leelathae's wedding dress!! It matches Gwen's!!! I guess Leland really remembered that lmao. Damn Leland crying and Isolde just stared with concern XD (i would've added Gwen's wedding dress photo but Tumblr's max pictures :( )

Okay can we talk about how majestic Jack's hair is??? Like dang pop off king. Now I know why Maria's hair is so beautiful.

It's sweet how Jack would do anything to Leelathae aww.

Uh, yeah, no, I am not going to talk about that uhh "diagram" the doctor gave to Leelathae. Nope. Nu uh.

•●•

Back to the present let's gooooo!!

A for effort, Miss Agatha. A for effort....

HAHAH GOOD LUCK LELAND GOOD LUCK LMAO. I nearly forgot about the thorns covering Gwen. Honestly I wonder how no one from the Plaid kingdom (beside Frederick, Leopold and iirc Isolde who already knew) questions about the fact that she has not got woken up from a literal war that's happening in her palace.

Hah! I live for Frederick and Aurelia bickering. I especially love how Frederick is being argumentative. Usually he can be pretty uh..pushover? Actually the correct words would be he doesn't have any moment to stand up for himself :')

Yep! Confirmed once again! Leland is the serpent!

YOU GO CURTIS!! HECK YEA!!

Jamie is a mood with that speech. And the fact that he has not only 1, but 2 ultimate flashbang??? DAMN JAMIE.

Ohoho what am I sensing here? What did you write Leopold?? I can hear the Leomie shippers screaming right now lol.

HECK NO??? WTF DO U MEAN YOU'RE GONNA CRUSH HER??? NO NO NO????

LANCE!!! MY BOY!!! I LOVE HIM!!! LANCE!!!

Okay those are ALL of the chapters lmao that was long! Uh, what have I been doing to the point I post 3 chapters late? Ahaha....u see... i actually have not excuse. I apologize.

That's all for now!!

Mono out! (But still in to hear your thought)

[thatsnotbuddies]

g’s hrpf recs

okok this blog exists bc one day I clicked on a tknp fic in some random person’s bookmarks just because it seemed interesting and the rest is history

so it’s only right i make a list of my fave fics I’ve read since then

here goes

⭐ = ultimate faves

I’ve got about . 200 hrpf bookmarks on ao3 but these are the ones that I think about a lot/have re-read more than twice. there’s soo much more I could rec, if you want a list for a specific pairing lmk??

TKNP

colours i can't see (with anyone else) - (E, 7,357 words) ⭐

Travis gets the call about two weeks before he stands before the team, helmet dangling from his fingertips and heart beating against his chest like it wants to crack through his ribs.

“I’m moving to Toronto.”

The silence that washes through the locker room is deafening. No one says anything for a long 30 seconds. The only sound is that of skate guards squeaking against the floor.

Nolan is the one who breaks the silence. “What the fuck? They can’t trade you.”  And Travis winces and Nolan widens his eyes like a deer caught in headlights and someone to his left sighs. “Oh.”

Notes: The conversation in the second to last scene gets me Every Time 😭

vision trick - (E, 21,528 words)

Pat’s new house is haunted.

Notes: I’m an Interstellar (2014), Contact (1997), love-transcending-all-dimensions-including-time girlie so this is. everything. to me.

JOEL FARABEE/MORGAN FROST

letters from allentown (T, 4,539 words) ⭐

“Hahahah the flyers are shit,” Morgan tweets, sometime in early November of 2013. He's probably not expecting a pissy pre-teen from Cicero, New York to slide into his DMs and start up a four year argument over whether or not the Flyers suck, right up until Morgan turns eighteen and gets drafted by the Flyers himself.

Notes: This is THEE quintessential joel/morgan fic to me

in my defense, spring - (T, 2,764 words, Magical Realism) ⭐

Morgan gets called up a month into the season. He arrives in Philly with three suits, two duffle bags full of gear, and a very large potted basil plant.

Notes: I went on a magical realism bender for a bit and this is one of the faves. Frosty as a spring witch born into a winter witch family :’) Taking care of all his plants :’)

MCSTROME

The Next Next One (M, 71,275 words) ⭐

No, Dylan has not picked up a copy of the book, nor does he plan to anytime soon. No, he has not talked to Connor about it. He hasn’t talked to Connor about anything in a long time, but the media does not need to know that.

Notes: This is number one all time fave. It turns me inside out every time I read it. So well written down to the fake book snippets!!!! You could take this and make a movie adaptation of it and it would kill at the box office.

MATTDRAI

how lovely are thy branches (M, 5271 words) (also Tim Stutzle/Brady Tkachuk)

“What is it about my family that makes us so damn irresistible to you Germans?”

Notes: This is just such a laugh, I love it

JOEL FARABEE/CARTER HART (you know when you’re not that invested in a pairing but some of the writing for it is just so good? this is me with this)

pour some sugar on him and blame it on the rain - (T, 5,719 words, Magical Realism)

Carter is a witch working the convenience store night shift. Joel is a regular customer who just can’t seem to stop getting cursed. Morgan is mostly along for the ride.

Notes: Fun! Shenanigans!

You look so sweet in the heat of the summer (E, 5,319 words)

Carter's fed up with feeling like he’s wasting his summer, out of sync with his friends, watching the days dwindle down with nothing to show for it.

He’s not sure what he expects Joel to be able to do about that feeling, but at least he’s a promised distraction.

Notes: This is so great at capturing a Very Specific summer vibe. End notes changed my whole opinion on ‘Tis The Damn Season, lmao. I cry now.

[oswildin]

In your recent ask response you talked about knowing Tony was going to die and also being on his team in CW so I was wondering how you feel about him in general? I've noticed there's a lot of overlap between his stans and Loki's which is true in my case; I always liked them both but LOVED Iron Man in phases 2-3 (basically as soon as they confirmed anxiety lol) and LOVED Loki in 4-5.

Also re. Season 2 expectations since you just talked about that as well, Marvel probs mandated they had to save the multiversal war stuff for the movies.

I really like Tony’s character arc, he had one of the best with Nebula & Loki in my personal opinion. I don’t think anyone could really argue that Tony’s arc wasn’t good or engaging and interesting to watch. I wouldn’t say I’m a ‘stan’ per se, but I really do appreciate his character and have empathy towards him. I think that is what endears me to characters, if I can understand them beyond the surface level and they have clear reasons for why they are the way they are, then I’m likely to enjoy their character. I really loved that he was the one who understood both sides of the argument in Civil War because he had been on both sides. He thought he was above the law for so long, and finally because of the events of Avengers and the destruction he witnessed and caused in AOU, he understood that he was in fact part of the problem and wanted to find a solution to that.

I don’t think Cap or Tony were right or wrong. But I do agree more with Tony and lean more towards his reasoning because even in this fictional world, yeah I don’t think superheroes should be just doing whatever they want unchecked lmao. I’ve never been a fan of Steve really, I liked him more in IW & Endgame, but I can’t say I’ve ever felt a connection to him or his character. But I really loved his and Natasha’s friendship (and yeah, I ship it I’m sorry hahahah).

Regarding S2, yeah very true, which sucks lol.

[astronomicalcandy]

Had the best and tiring night of my life lmao

Metal bands saved me 😫🤘

Story about everything happened under cut cuz it’s really long

A side from shit management from organizer, the shit happened inside were:

babymetal is pretty fucking metal ngl. They were the shit fr. This is my first time going to their live so, yeah!

I fell and nearly got stomped by people because I fell from mosh wave (during babymetal unfortunately). People beside me were so kind to pull me up ;;

nearly passed out from oxygen shortage (I deadass didnt made this up) (I was suffocating like shit) (and there were like 2-3 songs left for babymetal to finish) Moral of the story, I can’t stand behind a tall person. Bro literally took all of my oxygen…

mosh pits are the bane of my fucking existence holy fucking shit 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I dread every time Oli asks for a big mosh

Oli Sykes the man u are… I love his stage presence??? Idk if that makes sense. Guy is so chill. Love watching him

BMTH bassist… pls dm me rn

I powered thru until Kingslayer (I lied) (it was after Parasite Eve) that I couldn’t take it and had to leave pit.… Also! My first time getting dragged out my concert security bcus I was in front row, very near the front barricade

Conclusion: I don’t think I can go to any metal concerts after this… (will reconsider if they have seating tickets) I CANNOT BE AT ROCK ZONE FOR METAL CONCERTS BRO I WILL FUCKING DIE FROM IT

Other than that, I genuinely had a lot fun screaming to songs I love. Getting to hear it live is fr another experience 🖤 And I finally admit that I love making small talks to people who have the same interest. We talked about metal bands and also shat on the organizers c:

Babymetal reactions

For the love of god, I can not remember babymetal’s setlist at all because it’s only recently that I listened to them. I think it’s the same with SG live. Correct me on this!

BABYMETAL DEATH WAS SO LIT HAHAHAH I LOVE THE INTRO SM

MEGITSUNE WAS SAURRRR KEWLZ 😩😩😩😩😩💦

metari, the song I want to be injected into my fucking veins (I’m a sucker for matsuri theme 🥴)

PAPAYA I love u sm I had so much fun to this

BxMxC was. Lit. As. Fuck.

I don’t think they played headbanger… 😭

WHEN IT GOES RATATATATA MY BODY IS A WEAPOOOOON

I feel like I wasn’t on my best self after my oxygen got sucked out and fell…

BMTH reactions

I deadass wanna cry for BMTH bcus I couldn’t stay until the end (I’m looking at u shitman 🖕)

Setlist is the same with Summer Sonic 2024 but they sang Parsite Eve after Kingslayer which was so fucking good. I love that song sm

EVERYONE STARTING SPELLING OUT SPIRIT RIGHT AFTER DARKSIDE IT WAS SOOOOO COOOOL I LOVED THAT MOMENT SO SOOOO MUCH HAHAHAHAHA

sleepwalking, cool. Mantra, I think I came to like this song now. Icr if they sang Teardrops or not???

Kool-Aid was cool… the visuals kinda scared me a bit haha… I guess that’s what happened when u get in front 😭

Shadow Moses was lit when he had the red fire thingy lit. Also cool song to scream too lol

limousine was okay, never really liked it that much. AMEN WAS COOL YEAHAHEYA FUCKING LOVED IT

I WANNA BE A KINGSLAYER!!!!!!!! They hugged each other after that it was so cute 😭

outside pit, but I was able to hear Follow You and I kinda cried bcus uhhhh !!!!! 🥲

Lost, my fucking anthem. I want this to be injected into my veins (2)

CYFMH… 😭🤘

heard Doom until first chorus but gawd I love it soooooo much…

that’s it. I went back home 🥲🥲🥲

here's a pic by my friend of Oli with a Kuromi hat :3

[iamlittlelostsoul]

Bby Azul and big bro fig Jelly snack xd

Made a cute twst imaginess with a small sketch! >//<

and HURRAY no angst XDDD

so so I found in a short vid that there are some octopi that just go hijacking Jellyfishes(lmao) and go rides them across the ocean treating them like a safety ticket to protect themselves from predators and a free ride XD, also also!! they get free snack (no wonder Azul's chuncky-) lol HAHAHAH soooo I can't keep it out of my head and had to write about it and got some tiny bit of inspiration to draw baby Azul and his sorta jellyfish brother figure emergency snack XD

INTRODUCING Cyanide, Iammai (pronounced as /Ya/./Ma/./I/)

So so here how it goes and how they met!!

So since Azul always get bullied as a kid because of his body size there was a time he happen to get lost he happens to find a mer jellyfish around and decides to hijack him and make a deal forces with him to bring him back to his school, they somehow got along swimmingly and often met until Azul started latching on to him and sometimes munching on Cyanide.

"Cya-nii!!"

"Oh hey, Zul!"

"Bring me to school"

"Eh-...umm sure i guess and Zuulll- please stop trying to eat meeee"

Cyanide being a sweet little (quite idiotic) jellyfish, adored and a huge softy for little Azul as soon as they met although he's not very fond of Azul constantly trying to eat him. He being 6 years older than Azul officially somehow became Azul's older brother figure, who babies him SOO much, Azul's ride to anywhere and everywhere he wanna go to, and protector whenever someone would try to bully the baby and tease him. "Zul's just a cutie, this is why you get teased so much"

"Cya-nii!!! STOP IM NOT A CUTIE!!!"

"Eh, but you are my little Azul-chan! Nononoo!- ok ok you're not cute you're cool so please stop eating meee-"

And even when Azul is already at NRC Cyanide would visit and write to him as often as he could! He continues to support him even when Azul often gaslights him to buy tons of the stuff he's selling and all that and this, he still cares and cherishes him which is why Azul treasures him so much aswell but of course his pride stops him from admitting it lol^^

so yeyy here's baby Zul and big bro Cya hope ya'll don't mind my rambling lol >&lt;

im fucking glad I managed to finish this and it turned out kinda(????????) good knowing I fucking suck in anatomy, drawing the bg, drawing fricking children and all that cijsabcvsihdishcd

if you'd like to check more of my stuffs here's my masterlist!

[runninguplenorahills]

Lenora you’re back!!!!!💕💞💕💞

How have you been?

Heyyyy✨🌞

I’ve been doing pretty great honestly. I got through my finals and I actually did quite well :)). I didn’t take the biology exam though because holy fuck I can’t even do simple math and we were supposed to do crazy equations, no calculators allowed💀. So yeah, didn’t study at all and woke up in a cold sweat like three days before the exam and quickly set myself on inactive because I would’ve definitely fucking flunked it. But English went great, got one of the best grades out of the entire course for my presentation I was sweating buckets over beforehand, linguistics went well as well and the rest was just pass or fail and fortunately I passed but I’m still waiting on a feedback for my pedagogy portfolio. Speaking of waiting, I spent weeks in February working on my art portfolio and applied for art school and I’m waiting for a response to that, too.

I also finally read “The song of Achilles” but it sadly didn’t earn its place next to my favorites, like, it was actually only three stars for me if I’m really honest. Currently I’m reading “Persuasion” (I’m about half way through) and that books actually pretty great but the first like 80 pages are just like, set up lmao. But after that it quickly gets better!!! I haven’t continued reading in a couple of days though which I should absolutely do soon because the new semester starts in two weeks and then idk how much time I’ll have to read. I’m actually taking British and American literature classes in the new semester which I’m pretty excited about!!!!

Oh boy, I also finally watched s5 of Miraculous and the alternate universe Paris special and the movie and bro, s5 was an absolute dumpster fire…. Actually fucking insane. But the Paris special was kinda entertaining lol, and I can’t lie…. the movie was pretty good. Like… it was honestly great hahahah. I also watched Cars btw! I have watched the first part before but never the rest and then my sister wanted to watch Cars so we did and yeah, Cars is amazing ofc. I also finally watched But I’m a Cheerleader which was all over the okays but it was funny and I loved the ending. I’m trying to remember what else I watched but I don’t remember anything else… hmmm… Oh!! Omg, I watched Christopher Robin and I didn’t not except that movie to be as good as it was. I was in genuine tears over fucking everything and yeah, very enjoyable. I also watched The Sixth Sense which was good, did not see the plot twist coming though, Like, spoiler! I literally remember thinking “oh.. so he survived I guess” when it says “next fall” like a fucking idiot 😭. I don’t think I watched any other movies though.

Wait, I also read the entirety of Jackson’s diary on webtoon and it was a fucking roller coaster.

Other than that I’ve been hanging a lot with my friends, especially those who moved to another city for university. There’s this café we always and in the past two weeks we’ve gone three times and you can borough games to play and we usually play scrabble which is always sm fun!

Oh and holy shit, I turned fucking 20!?!?! Absolutely batshit insane, I cannot believe it.

Also, I just kinda left tumblr very like, impulsively because I had finals coming up and thought it’d be distracting, but also, tumblr tends to suck the life out of me sometimes so I thought taking a break would be worth it either way. After finals where over I then had to work on my art portfolio and I have a huge procrastination problem so I stayed off tumblr because I knew it would make it worse and so I just left and didn’t reply to anyone, which, I’m sorry, I missed you and the other mutuals so much but I also don’t think that many people even noticed that I took a break in the first place. Anyway,I’ll probably dip when Uni starts again as well but I thought it’d be nice to catch up with y’all before that happens.

How have you been doing :))💓💗💓💗💓

[atopearth]

Norn9: Var Commons Part 9 - Natsuhiko Azuma Route

Time for the pretty boy Natsuhiko! Lmao, I love Mikoto's imagination of Natsuhiko belittling her for thinking her scribbles will capture him hahaha. LMAO at Mikoto's drawing of Natsuhiko, the gun is so cute hahahaha. I died when Ron started laughing and asked if he could keep it😂😂 Hahahah when Nanami was about to say it was a monster until Koharu stopped her😂 LOL, I died when Heishi tried to hide his thoughts on the drawing from Mikoto but used telepathy instead😂😂😂 I have to admit, Mikoto's imaginary Natsuhiko is so entertaining🤣 I love how Koharu sniffling can make Kakeru take action and stop the guys from fighting, and at the same time her glare can make everyone apologise for doing whatever they did, especially Kakeru🤣 No one can go against her hahaha. Wow, Ron really has no chill, he literally just shoved Mikoto off the ship, at least Natsuhiko is gentle lol, princess carry CGs are the best☺️ Even though Mikoto was scared initially, it's nice to see her usual snappy self even when she's basically been kidnapped haha. LMAO at Mikoto's imagination of Natsuhiko as what she perceives as a sadist. I did not expect Natsuhiko to ask if Mikoto would prefer him to feed her rice porridge mouth to mouth or spoon feed her as a threat haha! It's nice to see how sweet Natsuhiko actually is even if he doesn't really show it, and he really does want to stop Shiro Yuiga profiting from selling weapons to countries.

It was cool to see Mikoto and Natsuhiko work together to stop the wars, but it's pretty crazy how Shiro has personal armies he contracts out to fight in wars, his strength and influence is quite widespread. Awww, Natsuhiko got a maid robot to serve Mikoto hoping she would feel better since it's a "girl" and not a guy like him or Setsu so he thought she would feel more comfortable with it, but it ended up making her even more scared lol. I feel so bad for Natsuhiko's efforts but you really can't blame Mikoto, she's stressed enough as she is and she's all alone with no support. It's so sweet how Natsuhiko tries so hard to help Mikoto, he even made a white hiyoko for her so she'll be less scared with something more familiar! It's so funny how the hiyoko keeps saying if Mikoto doesn't do something like eat, Natsuhiko is going to disassemble it so it makes Mikoto feel bad hahaha. I wonder if the hiyoko is based on Natsuhiko or if it's actually him or something though haha. Awww, Natsuhiko taking her to see the stars and then touching her flushed face thinking she might be sick was so cuteee. I loved their talk about going to the moon and how that's probably a more useful use of time than chasing after Shiro lol. Aww, Natsuhiko has been taking her to see the stars often enough to teach her the names of them too, that's really cute! It was so sad to see Mikoto so happily want to tell Natsuhiko only to hear about him continuing his plan to kill the espers, everyone she loves and wants to protect. Natsuhiko hugging Mikoto after knowing about how distressed she is over everything made me want to cry like she did. I'm glad Natsuhiko finally feels like he tell her everything.

Natsuhiko risking his life to cover and protect Mikoto, and then losing his memory because of it is saddening..especially since he has goals he needs to fulfill. It sucks though, they both instinctively know that this happy peaceful life won't last but still try their best to enjoy it without really knowing "why"; Natsuhiko because of his lack of memories, and Mikoto because she can't admit her feelings. It's been really nice to see Natsuhiko so honest about his feelings towards Mikoto, he's like letting his whole sweet side out now haha. I was so happy for them when they finally conveyed their feelings to each other! Lmao when Natsuhiko made her rice and egg porridge and kept saying it wasn't hot enough because he remembered Mikoto saying she likes scalding hot porridge🤣 He really remembers everything she says and holds it closely in his heart. Ron has to be the jerk that ruins everything of course, but dang he was ready to murder Mikoto very quick. I'm happy that Natsuhiko reassured Mikoto that memories or not, he still loves her the same. Lmao at Natsuhiko blushing when Setsu nearly busted him for being the one controlling the white hiyoko to talk to Mikoto. I died when he started asking Mikoto if she wanted more functions like an anti-theft alarm😂😂

I can see why Natsuhiko is so sad about the Reset when it comes to science. Imagine making it to the moon and then having that all reset so many times that you've lost so much knowledge and experimentations. It is devastating to think about. Lmao at how happy Natsuhiko was when Mikoto ran to him because she was scared of Ron. It made me really happy to see that just as Mikoto learnt more about the world and things beyond blindly listening to the World's orders by meeting Natsuhiko, he also learnt many things from Mikoto which changed his mind about killing all the espers and his way of doing things. I liked how he realised that to an extent, he also viewed the espers as weapons like Shiro did, rather than the humans that they were, so it made me happy to see him able to change his mind about it all. For a second, I was really wondering if they were going to leave a brainwashed Kakeru somewhere out there lol, so I'm very happy that Heishi and Itsuki went to look for him and saved him, I was honestly worried lol. Pretty anticlimactic that Shiro just up and died because he ran out of time like Aion eventually will, a very disappointing end to Natsuhiko's initial goal lol. But at least he's now free to really do all the research he wants and stuff. Natsuhiko and Mikoto can live that free life they used to live once again. The tragic love ending was sad, thinking about Natsuhiko dying as he tried to destroy all of Shiro's weapons and then Nanami erasing Mikoto's memories to save her from that pain was just so sad. The short story was so adorableee! I love how Mikoto tried so hard to make hamburg steak for Natsuhiko, and it was so funny how every time Mikoto hurt herself, Natsuhiko came running to the kitchen and left behind medicine and bandages for her lmao. It was so sweet to watch them do that and then enjoy the meal Mikoto worked so hard on, super cutee!

Overall, I really enjoyed Natsuhiko's route! I can see why alot of people like him haha. I really loved how Mikoto and Natsuhiko developed their relationship throughout the route. She was understandably cautious of him at the beginning, but it was really sweet to see how kind Natsuhiko was from the very beginning. It was difficult for Mikoto to notice because she was too scared, but seeing Natsuhiko awkwardly trying to make her feel comfortable and happy was so adorable. It was pretty funny when he failed like when he got a maid robot that could explode to protect Mikoto😂 I was so glad when he made the hiyoko for her, but the cutest thing was him communicating with her through the hiyoko and trying his best to not let her find out that it's actually him haha, he plays the role really well though haha!! I also really liked how difficult it was for both of them to come to terms with their love, mostly Mikoto because Natsuhiko wanted to kill her friends, but Natsuhiko also had to open up to understanding that espers were human too and not just weapons to be destroyed so I really liked how their relationship helped them both understand their respective perspectives towards how best to handle the situation with The World and what kind of future they wanted to have. I think it was also really nice to see a bit of how their married life would be like when they lived in that village and shared the same sentiments of wanting to continue living like this together forever, that was sweet~ It's sad that we don't get to see everyone else on the ship in this route, but I do have to say that Natsuhiko more than makes up for it haha. He is the best!

[throwaway-yandere]

Happy new year everyone!!! Admittedly I suck at expressing myself so you'll have to forgive me if this comes across as a raw and chaotic mess lol. I'm not tagging the names either cause I'm a coward

((Just wanna shoutout poptart again cause mom idk what I'm gonna do with that 4 dollar tip 😭))

🐠, exiled and veni were my real highlight for OCMC. The alhaitham slanders– the betrayal– lmao i was just cackling like the gremlin that i am when I read exiled's ask after the last chapter I uploaded lmao. And signora-fanboy's reblog tags were funny too lol

It was fun cooping with exiled!!! It was fun reblogging jokes with zhongrin (and making me brainrot mafia!dain dhshdjwj)!!! I was so happy T^T!!!

And this december i get to talk to riabef and watatsumii too and they're both wholesome and lowkey/highkey chaotic i love you both! Where the heck am I even going with this message my braincells are not working BUT yeah my point is that it's so awesome that even as the year's about to end I still end up meeting new blessings in life 😭😭😭

I'll just shorten this part: I used to be a major loner. It's just that since my elementary days I've just come to expect a pattern that I'm friends with someone for a year until they move out of the country. It's like I was cursed with that happening every time until I just always expect people to have an expiration date lmao. Hence, I just wanna thank my irl friends Purple and Orange Friend/a-dose-of-phitre for being my longest best friends. They gave me confidence and no I'm not crying rn shut up. Idk why yall stuck with me. Wait no I do know the answer it's cause you both want someone to bully 😭 but to bully me for 6 and now going 7 years??? Aren't you both tired???

With that in mind– i SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHY YOU GUYS ARE SO NICE TO ME 😭😭😭I PROBABLY MENTIONED THAT A LOT BUT WHY ARE YOU GUYS NICE??? I DON'T DESERVE THAT WHEN I'M WRITING YOU ANONS TO SUFFER– IDK HOW TO PAY THOSE KINDNESS BACK YALL DON'T MAKE ANOTHER "gatorade milo rice discourse" SCENARIO 😭

Man i need to stop typing my body's last hurrah is fast approaching. Can't wait to read this tomorrow and go "there are so many grammar mistakes here not even grammarly would make an attempt to understand this mess" hAHAHAHAH

Okay, okay, yeahhh

Happy new year everyone!!! I'm gonna wait like 21 more minutes and wait till the world does a factory reset for 2023. Hope yall have a wonderful year!!! Enjoy the fireworks!!! Yoimiya worked hard for those 😤

Trick or treat!!!!!!! - @maddstermind

You've got a treat!

Here's a chat scene from Route LXVI. I had to ultimately put it aside because it was not progressing the plot in an already slow chapter, but it was fun to write, and it worked as a great character study. Plus, it marks the beginning of Liv's worst lie~~

The layout is a bit weird because I normally write my chats adjusted to the left or right according to who is talking. Here in Tumblr it's a bit different. Bear with me. There it goes:

You:

Hey remember this convo from the neolitic era

Image

Image

Image

Highzs🎱:

LMAOOO where did you find this?

You:

Image

Image

Got them by digging in ancient discord convos

Highzs🎱:

Damn I didn't know grammar

That youre is killing me

You:

Aw I think you were trying to spell cool

like pot8os

Highzs🎱:

pot8os I'm deceased

You:

When you used to write everything wrong on purpose

Highzs🎱:

to mess up with you

so you wouldn't know when I actually spelt something incorrectly due to me being an idiot

You:

being dyslexic is not cinamons with being and idiot

Highzs🎱:

Synonyms*

You:

I did it on purpose!

Highzs 🎱

You are missing an n too

You:

I don't rely on the autoccorrect

Highzs 🎱

Such a helpful tool, though

Could have saved me some misunderstandings

You:

HAHAHAH

LOWZS I JUST REMEMBERD

That one time you told us that you were sick

Highzs 🎱

HAHAHAH NOOOO

You:

YOU TOLD US YOU HAD ANIME

And I spent the whole afternoon searching "anime illness" on Google

and getting top tens instead of answers

Highzs 🎱

HAHSHHSHS SORRY

But that's the reason you finally watched Your lie in April, so worth it

👉👉

You:

👉👉

Probably my fave dyslexia moment

Highzs 🎱

And meanwhile Soda like

Sucks dude, wanna play some Smash until you get better or

You:

HAHAHAHAH

I distinctly remember the moment you said you just needed iron and he went like what

Highz 🎱

He still teases me about it

Did you know that

In those screenshots you sent

In that conversation

I was kinda

Hinting

Towards him

You:

WHAT

I JUST CHIKES WHAT

Highzs🎱:

WHAT??

You:

CHOKED

I'm rearesding everything

Highzs🎱:

Hahaha really???

Ok you are

Hey runt come back down

You:

I'm back

Dammit Lou

I'm going to be so honest

During that whole conversation

I thought you were talking about me

Highzs🎱:

HAHAHAHA I KNEW IT RUNT

The moment you said

"You know you could tell me anything right?"

You:

I was so abviously trying to ease you idiot

I wanted to be a good friend regardless of the feeling situation

I was so off though, damn

Highzs🎱:

Awwww that's so sweet

I actually did like you for a while though

I was pretty confused

You:

Haha no bet

I'm glad you told me <3

Even though I already knew it lmao

Highzs🎱:

Me too

Now

*uno reverse card*

Tell me who you were referring to

You:

NO SHOT

Highzs🎱:

As that written statement proves

We made a promise for a 50/50

Anytime one of us confesses, the other has to do so

You:

Yeah ._. but I wanted to talk about the present, not the past

Highzs🎱:

The present? Weren't you with Percy?

You:

Uhm I could be poly

Highzs🎱:

Alright, intriguing

But first things first

Years later I'll know who you were referring to in that convo

You:

Man, you already know

Highzs🎱:

Say it

Saaaayyyy it

I'm waiting

You:

Man we were rivals and didn't even know it

Highzs🎱:

Nameeeee

You:

Good grief

It was Soda

Highzs🎱:

WHAT

You:

Don't act surprised you knew it

Highzs🎱:

Okay runt

Why did you never tell me

You:

You've activated my trap card!

Same question back to you

Highzs🎱:

Sexuality struggles plus one of the pivotal points was you

You:

I didn't expect a sound answer

Highzs🎱:

You?

You:

Struggles

Highzs🎱:

Fair enough

You:

I'm returning now to compensate though

I didn't send the screenshots for nothing

If you will also tell me your name, of course

Highzs🎱:

That's the promise we made so

You:

100%?

Highzs🎱:

Cross my heart and hope to die

On three?

You:

Uhh nice

On three

1

Highzs🎱:

1

You:

2!

Highzs🎱:

3!

I like Maeve

You:

I think I like Gray

HWAT

Highzs🎱:

What?????

[rainia]

damn I went from wow ghostkicks moments going crazy :D to the worst horror I could’ve imagined every relationship William has is so so damaged in these past episodes. I love the direction charlie went with him but does it have to rip my heart out in the most painful way possible please

I KNOW RIGHT??? IT SUCKS SO BAD. like damn, DAMN. guess we’re all shipping Revenant now because I think Ashe is the only one who’s really going to understand making a bad decision to try save people. Problem is, the more I thought about it, the more it made perfect sense for William. I’m not sure what else he could have done to both save Alan and be in-character, yknow? It’s fucked dude.

If it’s any consolation (and it’s kinda meta gaming), I do know that the jrwi guys have said in the past how much they hate inter-party conflict, and so they’ll probably make a way for their characters to come to terms with it lmao. Unless it gets worse here on out, but oh well hahahah

[nobully]

zombie apocalypse arc is over ahhhhh

but the next arc has me like AHHHHH

ch. 90: see you next life

starting off with the same parting quote wang yi said in the 1st arc:

"A true villain needs to be ruthless, evil, and self-destructive. After torturing the protagonist to hell and back, they'll exit the scene fabulously…with a bang."

and...there he goes... :'(

"See you next life"

qin xian is sobbing his heart out b/c he never got to tell wang yi about all his secrets, and calls wang yi a liar for promising to stay with him and then leave 🥹

sao ling watches the aftermath with his little kitty girlfriend

i can't believe SAO LING GETS A BETTER GOODBYE THAN WANG YI DOES WANG YI'S LUCK SUCKS LMAO

after leaving xiao bai the last of his anchovies, System S-0 leaves the world by dying too...hnngh

hehe new wang yi reaction face

S-0 actually asks if wang yi wants to rest for a bit before going onto the next world, which makes wang yi suspicious, but S-0 says it's because he too had to experience a farewell and sort of understands how that feels. (what's this is the SYSTEM developing feelings is this like an echo of maybe what happened to past!wang yi ahhh)

wang yi agrees and S-0 proposes they go to the novella world He Came from the End of the Sky (Edge of Heaven??) whose setting is wholly isolated to a single research facility.

and his role will be a lunatic obsessed with biology experiments, doctor wang

HAHAHAH MAD SCIENTIST ARC LET'S GO

[prongsmydeer]

Ayesha Liveblogs She-Ra S2-S3

“Wow, Flower Princesses can’t aim.” Mermista said we believe in power profiling LMAO also how many flower princesses could there possibly be

You know, I was expecting more emotional consequences from last season’s interactions for Catra and Adora

“Is the one you call Catra... not mean?” “No, she is.” Update from 1 minute later: The consequence is that Adora must work through her feelings through Codependent Romantically-Charged Unhealthy Friendship Simulation 

“Can you teleport anything you want? Like a cannon? I can make ice cannonballs.” Hahahah awww Frosta wants to be friends 

“When you grow up with someone, they just know how to push your buttons.” “I can relate. I also have buttons.” Light Hope really is deLightful lmaoooo

Catra’s emotional consequences are her becoming a peer mentor for Gaslighting Gatekeeping and Girlbossing

Also I can’t wait to see Kyle’s inevitable defection into the Rebellion

I love how often Bow says exactly what I’m thinking: 

Why is Mermista bullying Perfuma LMAO is this her way of inviting her to become a throuple with her and Sea Hawk

“Maybe we should hold hands and think healing thoughts.” ARE they flirting? It really seems like they’re flirting

Frosta is readily demonstrating the problem of having 10-year-olds in your army with her inability to listen to a single order 

“I thought I could help and be the Rebellion’s tech master.” Not to make everything about how much I love Bow but I love Bow

“Why can’t you be what I want you to be?” It’s a Miraculous Lucky Charm situation, Adora; your sword is telling you you need to be better hydrated and to use less brute force

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE FOREST REGROWING BECAUSE OF THEIR TEAMWORK. I KNOW IT’S ONE EPISODE INTO THE SEASON BUT I LOVE A MAGICAL GLOWING FRIENDS MOMENT:

“When they’re ready to roll out, I’ll be at the head, and you’ll be here, rotting. Thanks, I needed this.” You know those posts that are like ‘traumatize ur parents BACK’ that’s Catra and Shadow Weaver

“Entrapta’s alive. And we left her behind.” THE FACT THAT THIS IS BOW’S FIRST THOUGHT RATHER THAN THE RECOGNITION SHE IS HELPING THE HORDE. I LOOOOOVE BOW

The fact that Dryl has been forced to cede to the Horde just because Entrapta has no strength of character. Dissolve the monarchy!!!

“He is apart of you. Your destines are intertwined.” I won’t lie, I wasn’t expecting Horsey to have such a significant role

“We’ve got to save her.” Glimmer my love... your friend sucks kjghkjgh

I really am trying to give Entrapta some grace mentally, cause I get it, she’s like 16, her friends abandoned her, she’s got a hyper-fixation on alien tech, these guys offered her new friendship and encouraged her technological growth... but it’s not a good enough reason to like. Colonize and oppress a planet. Like, okay, Entraptylo Ren. Have some perspective, my girl. LOL

Hahahaha Light Hope having to reboot for her software update

“But [the Watchtower] was destroyed by Mara when she lost control and attacked Etheria.” I am so interested in them explaining Mara’s story. I love a legend inside a narrative. Avatar Wan was by far the coolest part of LOK, I am not accepting constructive criticism at this time

This fight with Catra and Scorpia really suggests that Bow should work on his hand-to-hand. He’s a mid-range fighter compared to Glimmer and Adora’s close combat

Perhaps Adora, like me, just doesn’t really know what to do with a talking horse:

“We took a hostage! We’re supposed to be the good guys.” Bow did this show not literally start with you and Glimmer capturing Adora LOL

Not directly related to the content, but it does bother me that the captions don’t match the audio. Like they shorten Scorpia’s “Catra, you beautiful genius, I’m coming,” to “Catra, I’m coming.” Why! Shouldn’t it be accurate? Those aren’t filler words or stuttering that might take away from the readability, it’s literally the way Scorpia is addressing her

I too, like Swift Wind, appreciate the toppling of unjust hierarchies

Entrapta really has -1,000 empathy. Casually telling Bow and Glimmer about hacking the Black Garnet which almost killed Glimmer’s mother. With peace and love. Get some help. 

“I saved a little magic, just for you.” [Blows raspberry] I think Glimmer should be a little spiteful, as a treat

I want to see the shady backstory between Mara and Light Hope!!

“Who needs Entrapta? You’ve got Bow, tech master and premier member of the Etherian Maker Community.” I love that Bow’s narrative arc is him being Rebellion tech whiz who is all empathy, all the time

“Thus far, your performance has been lacking.” Wow, so the emotionally-malnourished 10th grader you made your General HASN’T changed the tide of the war in two episodes? Who’d have thunk it, Hordak?

You know what’s genuinely a little funny. I think Catra came because she wanted parental attention (to be yelled at) and Hordak entertained her because he wanted someone to yell at. New fucked up father-daughter dynamic unlocked

“Nothing gets past us,” said Glimmer, which I’m sure isn’t foreshadowing 

I’m sorry I’m so sassy about Entrapta but I cannot believe she has more moral quandary over whether to go into Hordak’s sanctum than about orchestrating the downfall of society lmao

“Portals aren’t theoretical, they’re real. And I’m going to open one.” I love how quickly Hordak has embraced Entrapta as his lab assistant hahahah. Finally something funny!!

“Etheria is the only planet I’ve encountered that does not seem to understand [that there are countless planets and galaxies].” Is Hordak’s story about how he wants to go home like E.T. I’d laugh so hard

“You are the one bothering me, Force Captain, with your unwanted intrusion. I am working. With Entrapta’s assistance.” Daddy Hordak’s got a new favourite daughter 

Also. Why is Glimmer the only Princess with parents? Are the rest of these gals orphans? Like Frosta for sure bc she took the throne at age 8, but all of them??

“I need [Catra’s gift] to be something that says ‘Thank you,’ but also, ‘We are soulmates tied together by the beautiful threads of fate.” Scorpia’s adoration of Catra is very sweet

It kills me that in their DnD war simulation campaign, Bow imagines everyone in outfits accurate to their 80s design. I truly love him to pieces:

HAHAHAHAH PERMISSION FOR THE REST OF THE STORY TO BE TOLD ONLY FROM BOW’S PERSPECTIVE:

Bow: It looks like I’ve got you meow, evildoer. 

Catra: I’d paws to reflect on your upcoming death if I were mew.

Bow: I don’t know, I’m feline pretty good right now.

“Adora, isn’t this all going a little overboard. We’ve faced the Horde before. What’s the worst that could happen?” said Bow, as if Glimmer’s father didn’t literally DIE in battle

Fjkfhkjhfkjfh apparently Glimmer is still team pro-improvising. RIP Daddy Glimmer

Hahahahaha @ them taking halfway through the second season to identify Rogelio the Lizard Guy 

Love that there is no justification or explanation for why Perfuma can create sentient plants:

DID GLIMMER JUST MURDER ROGELIO THE LIZARD GUY. SHE THREW HIM OFF THE TOWER OMGGGG

Update from a minute later: Rogelio is fine. We did not witness a live casual murder by one of the protagonists just yet

“All in favour of blaming this on Kyle?” We continue the inevitable steps towards Kyle’s defection LOL

Legitimate question. If they glow every time their teamwork is good, would that become their main metric for how successful they’ve been? Like if you’re not glowing, the plan isn’t going well?

“Mermista cancelled our plans this week, and she’s hanging out with her other friends and didn’t invite me to join.” HKJHGKJGH Mermista told Seahawk you’re not invited to my weird flirt-bullying with Perfuma, actually

I’ve been wondering if Scorpia’s feelings for Catra were romantic or not (it seemed romantic, but like, could easily be read also as just loving her a lot as a friend) but this Arctic After-Hours Invite seems very clearly to be a date hahaha

Interesting that She-Ra is impervious to the cold! How exactly do these powers work lmao

“Maybe there’s scientific truth to the rumours about strange things happening in this region,” said the Magical Technology Princess to her two friends, who are half-scorpion and half-cat

1) Why have I never noticed Sea Hawk fighting with a lightsabre!!! Is that new? 2) I love him asking Scorpia if he’s cool mid-fight and her going, “Potentially.”

“Looks like you’re mine now, Adora.” Gay and rude. Catra’s only two personality traits 

“Yay! It’s a girls’ night in.” It’s interesting that infecting her sword has effectively made Adora drunk LOL

I won’t lie, I paused to watch some other stuff, so I forgot about the terrifying snow monster hahahaha

It’s so funny that Sea Hawk just politely announces he’s come to rescue Adora instead of you know, attacking with his laser sword. I am wondering if he is the diversion:

“Whatever the Horde is giving you, it’s not worth the damage you’re doing to Etheria.” Bow brought logic to a magical science fight

“Does she even understand how much I do for her?” “Exactly, it seems like the only time anyone wants to hang is when they need me to give them a ride or do something for them.”

1) It is so funny that Sea Hawk is bonding with Scorpia but please don’t tell me he’s going to join the Horde. I will lose my mind

2) Isn’t the way you met Adora, Glimmer and Bow literally bc they needed a ride to Mermista’s place? Why are you surprised that continues to be your role?

3) You’re in the Rebellion! Of course people need things from you, Sea Hawk

4) However, I get that you need some good friends who want you around. Maybe u should expand your social circle beyond miscellaneous rebel princesses lmao 

“I don’t need their opinions to validate me. I’m Sea Hawk.” “And me, I am brave, strong, and give great hugs, and I’m loyal.” YEAHHHHHH SEA HAWK AND SCORPIAAAA

“I’ve got control of Adora. I am not giving that up.” I wonder how many of Catra’s problems could be solved by getting some therapy

Sea Hawk telling Scorpia that caring is the greatest adventure of all. It is cheesy and I am WEAK and soft-hearted. I love them <3 

“You can’t expect me to out-cast Light Spinner, the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the halls of Mystacor.” I can’t believe we’re getting Shadow Weaver backstory AND finding out that boys can do magic

I don’t remember if they’ve ever said his name, but based on him needing to a relevant character, and on his similar appearance to Castaspella, I’m gonna say that Micah must be Glimmer’s dad.

Are we to gather from the lines and circles on Hordak’s back that HE is First One’s tech? Is he Mara or Light Hope’s weird boyfriend? I don’t know how I’d handle that 

Daddy Hordak has really found a way to recreate Catra’s exact Favourite and Scapegoat childhood trauma. He’s really embracing his place in the parent dynamic 

[Light Spinner, but also me, voice]: I’ve only had Micah for one day but if anything happened to him I’d [redact] everyone in this room and then myself:

“You’ll make [the Guild] see [the threat of the Horde]. If anyone can do it, it’s you!” Awww so Shadow Weaver wasn’t ALWAYS a terrible influence on teen lives. It’s a fun spicy update that we get later on

“Why do you really want to keep her around?” Stockholm Syndrome and Mommy Issues

I can’t believe that Shadow Weaver’s origin story is that she got Alphonse Elric’d by trying to do dark magic with a twelve-year-old

“I had to earn my power. Fight for it. Why should it be any different for you?” “I was a child when you took me in. What could I have possibly done to deserve the way you treated me?” Yaddah Yaddah Generational Trauma: The Sequel 

“Serenia. Portal. Mara.” I’m doubling down on Hordak as Mara’s Weird Boyfriend 

Are we gonna find more about Bow’s family!! I LOVE BACKSTORIES. WHAT A FUN COUPLE OF EPISODES

“Adora! Glimmer! We’re so happy to finally meet Bow’s school friends!”

Bow having two dads is actually one of the few things I knew about this show going in, but I am SO happy that they are depicted on screen, and not just like, mentioned. <3 YEAHHHH SHE-RA!!!

KJHGKJHGKJHGJK I CANNOT BELIEVE BOW NEVER TOLD HIS PARENTS HE WAS IN THE REBELLION OH MY GOD

This scheme has really forced me to remember that Adora STILL only wears her Horde uniform as her everyday outfit. HOW DO BOWS DAD’S NOT NOTICE JGHKJGHKGJH

“Youngest of 13! All historians just like us.” THIRTEEN??? THAT’S SO MANY SIBLINGS. ALSO HOW ARE YOU HISTORIANS THAT DON’T KNOW WHAT A HORDE UNIFORM LOOKS LIKE OH MY GOD

“So I did the only thing I could. I secretly taught myself archery, ran away and pretended I was at a made-up boarding school.” “That seems really elaborate, Bow.” Honestly. Honestly! Life mood for wanting not to upset your parents but still to live your life in way that reflects your values and identity

Yaddah yaddah parallel journeys to queerness in youth while inverting the heteronormative structures in which they usually take place 

From 5 min later: “I act like someone I’m not with my family because the truth would hurt them.” LIKE HELLO???? BOW!! I LOVE HOW CLEARLY THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A QUEER PERSON

And: “I’ve tried to tell them before but they don’t want to hear it. So, I pretend.” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 

HAHAAHAHA funny how they did not have a way to organically bring up Lance and George’s names so they made Bow first-name his own dads

“We’ll find Shadow Weaver, the two of us, and not a word of it will leave this room.” I KNEW THE iROBOT BABY RECORDER WOULD BE LISTENING

HKJFHKJGHKJGHKJHF Bow’s historian dad having a First Ones tattoo that says, “Lunch.” Poetic cinema. This is why u should never get a tattoo in a language you don’t understand 

“Adora is a sixth major in She-Ra?” I love how quickly Bow’s lie has fallen apart

I’m losing my mind that the thing that signifies Bow returning to himself his him wearing a crop top. Also his dads SCREAMING as he rips his shirt

“You only listened to me if I said what you wanted to hear.” [...] “We love you the way you are, Bow. And we’re proud of you, no matter what path you take in life.” CRYIN’

“This was a test, and you failed.” I won’t lie to you, I took a long pause from this show purely because I knew whatever emotional trap Daddy Hordak laid out for Disgraced Daughter Catra was going to make my heart clench LOL. Delayed this two minute scene by weeks 

Shadow Weaver said: I will not let Daddy Hordak take the terrible surrogate parent spotlight. Time to haunt Adora’s room like a sleep paralysis demon 

“Technically it’s the spare room. But it is more than adequate as a holding cell.” You’re telling me with guards as attack-happy as in S1, you’ve NEVER imprisoned anyone in the castle? I CANNOT BELIEVE. AREN’T U IMMORTAL ANGELLA. SURELY U’VE BEEN RULING LONG ENOUGH TO CREATE SOME KIND OF JUSTICE/REHABILITATION SYSTEM ON BRIGHT MOON. DIDN’T YOU FIGHT A WAR!!!

“Shadow Weaver is dangerous. I will not let that woman near you.” Angella said: Maternal bond with Shadow Weaver ended, Adora. Now I am your best mom 

“You will answer for the crimes you committed during your time as my brother’s teacher.” I’m glad that the Micah thing is coming into the main narrative because I keep forgetting if they confirmed it before bc I’ve stopped watching this episode for months at a time LOL

“I have to believe that others can change too, even Shadow Weaver.” Ohhhhh Adora <3 

Adora referring to Shadow Weaver as the woman who raised her :’( I’m with Angella, Adora deserves to not be around these adults who only want to use her 

Shocked that Shadow Weaver is being honest about Hordak’s plan. Shadow Weaver said manipulate, momtrauma, military defection

“You were bought through a portal from another world.” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?????????????

“I was a baby! Babies don’t remember things.” “Interesting, I will make a note of this.” Light Hope’s not wrong about her assumption though, there are studies on trauma in infancy. This is truly the story of how your fucked up childhood can come back to haunt you later on LOL.

“Don’t I get a say in what happens to me? Don’t I get a choice?” “No, this is your destiny, you do not choose.” 1) The heartbreak in Adora’s voice as she’s finding out she’s a First One is killing me and 2) WRONG 

KJGHGKJHGJH Catra dunking on Hordak in front of his entire army. She’s right, he is incapable of defeating teenagers

Bow tapping Adora on the head reassuringly with his Space iPad to let her know they’re there for her as much as they’re there for the Rebellion. I love himmmmmmmmmm

I have this series on 1.25x speed atm because it’s so hard to focus and let me tell you. It sounds normal. So I stand by the view that they just pace the dialogue too slowly LOL

Bizarrely, the more screentime they get, the more invested I am in the father-daughter relationship of Entrapta and Daddy Hordak. He really does seem to care for her. If it was just her value as a tech person, he wouldn’t have listened to her about changing his plans for Catra to go to the Crimson Waste instead of Beast Island: 

THE STAR WARS BAR??????????? ARE WE ON TATTOINE???

Why is the proportion of furries in this bar so much higher than in any other place. Furry Exile Wasteland

I’m with Adora in terms of immediately admiring Huntara. I think it’s the voice and how she stepped in to protect the kids. Also maybe the ponytail 

However. I believe her when she says no one should be trusted, including herself LOL

IFjkfjfkjfkjfh is that a smaller Hordak inside a test tube? Daddy Hordak making a new clone baby????????????? Saving an old baby???????

“We should say something.” “NO! We are supporting her.” LMAO @ GLIMMER AND BOW. When ur friend is making bad decisions but u don’t want to alienate them gkjhgkjhgjhg

“Paralyzing darts. But you probably figured that out, being a fast learner and all.” Best Friends Squad said: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Huntara

Why is Hordak and Entrapta’s relationship so fucking endearing???? It’s killing me as he hisses while she tries to force-feed him soup:

Are they still morally bankrupt. Yes, I do think so. Are they very funny. Also yes!!!!

“I am not discussing this.” “Your armor, it’s holding you together.” “It’s none of your concern.” Maybe I wouldn’t feel this way about Hordak if I didn’t have Repressed Immigrant Father Syndrome kjhgjhgkjhgb

“I am a clone. A clone of the Emperor of the Known Universe.” HELLO???????? I THOUGHT HE WAS CLONING, NOT CLONED. IT DOESN’T EVEN SOUND LIKE A WORD ANYMORE 

“And Horde Prime will see that he was wrong. I am not a defect. I am worth something.” WOW, IT REALLY IS THE STORY OF YADDAH YADDAH GENERATIONAL TRAUMA. EVEN HORDAK’S PROBLEMS ALL CIRCLE BACK TO DADDY ISSUES 

HOWEVER. I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ALL OF THE DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO THE HORDE. [Insert coolmotivestillmurder.jpg LOL]

LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE CHRONIC ILLNESSES AND DISABILITIES HORDAK, NOT ALL OF US COLONIZE SPACE 

Side note: Adora and Hordak are really carrying the voice acting for this season so far. Like Adora’s yelling at Light Hope and Hordak’s “I am not a defect.” AHH!!!!!!

Also I really do love how they animated this cutaway sequence. Conveying the energy of Hordak’s past without necessarily revealing everything, and giving us a sense of how Hordak views himself and his history:

“I do not need your help.” “Everyone needs help sometimes.” Entrapta said: I’m here for you, Daddy Hordak!!! The generational trauma ends here, as I am impervious to criticism 

You can tell that she really doesn’t absorb criticism by the fact she talks about her homies abandoning her like she had nothing to do with it LMAO. THEY THOUGHT U WERE DEAD, FOUND U LATER, GAVE U THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND U SAID ‘ACTUALLY I PREFER SPACE COLONIZATION INSTEAD XOXO’

“No matter what you say, you are not a failure. Any who discount you are utter fools.” Wow, Hordak’s using his words. Growth?

Awwwww I love that Adora’s comment from last episode about people can change is immediately coming to fruition with Huntara. Ex-Horde mentor!!!

“I’m looking at the Crimson Waste, the place Hordak sent me to die. I have no idea what you’re doing, as the last thing I told you was to leave me alone.” Scorpia’s just here to love you, Catra

Fhkjghkjghkj I feel like Catra and Scorpia fit in better at the Star Wars Bar because they are also Criminal Furries

“But me? I’ve already lost it all,” said Catra, as if her homie Scorpia who would go to the ends of the galaxy for her wasn’t standing right there 

Same energy as Kakashi saying everyone he cares about is dead when he has at LEAST four friends

“Who’s the strongest in the Crimson Waste?” “LASHOR.” Tung Lashor said my love language is words of affirmation 

Wild how so far Catra has been achieving victory over all these adults through no other skill than bullying jkhgjghkjgh. Although $10 says she wins this battle through the convenient paralytic darts she asked for earlier

Update from 1 minute later: Alright, I owe you $10. Bullying it is 

“This is the one place they’ll never find us. I saw what they would do. The deaths that would follow.” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Assuming ‘they’ is the army of Horde Prime? But it would be interesting if it were someone else. I really, really want to see more of Mara’s backstory

You know. This past two and a half seasons I have been assuming that this would lead up to a Catra and Adora relationship because they are the main characters. But they have also made it clear that Scorpia likes Catra and based on this episode, it does seem like Catra is starting to respond to those feelings: 

“So why would we go back? Let’s stay here. Forget Hordak. Forget Adora. Forget all of them. We could rule the Crimson Waste together, just the two of us. We could, you know, be happy.” Scorpia is shooting her shot

“We are going back. We are going to open a portal. And we are going to crush them all.” Wow. Didn’t take much to sway her in the other direction

Hordak 🤝 Catra 🤝 Entrapta

Pretending like your abandonment issues are a good reason to colonize space

Speaking of abandonment issues. LMAO @ BOTH HORDAK AND ENTRAPTA NOT WANTING THIS PORTAL TO DISRUPT THEIR FUCKED UP LITTLE FOUND FAMILY

“Before I started ‘rushing in,’ the Rebellion hadn’t made a move in years. You need me.” I feel like what I’ve learned is that Glimmer is usually not the best judge of what to do, unless she’s directly defying Angella, in which case it is the right call kjghkjghkgjhgkjh

“I could not have lied to you about who you are, because I have never known or cared about someone as inconsequential as you.” Daddy Hordak said Shadow Weaver got full-custody of Adora in the divorce

Glimmer hasn’t really learned much from her dad’s journey with having Shadow Weaver as a mentor. This is what happens when you keep secrets from your kids

Adora trying desperately to reason with Entrapta while Entrapta continues to facilitate the downfall of the planet. Just Quirky Girl things: 

You know, thus far this seems to be amounting to a rough day for everyone involved

“If we open a portal, the anomalies will be catastrophic. It’ll unhinge time and space, creating a warped reality that will collapse in on itself, erasing us from existence.” OH, SO NOW WE CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PLANET. WHERE WAS THIS THE PAST TWO SEASONS, ENTRAPTA? 

“Adora gets everything she wants.” LIKE ALL OF EXISTENCE NOT EXPLODING, CATRA? WHY ARE YOU ALL SO STUPID LMAO

[Insert Guardians of the Galaxy, “We’re the idiots who live in it.” LOL]

“Who do you think let the princesses in?” “She wouldn’t--” LOL @ CATRA TRYING TO RUIN ENTRAPTA AND HORDAK’S WEIRD FAMILY. Catra said: If I can’t maintain any meaningful relationships with the adults in my life, NEITHER CAN ANYONE ELSE

“Wow, I can’t believe you like me, that is so embarrassing for you.” [Laughing and playfighting] “Stop it, get off! This is not because I like you.” If Adora and Catra do end up together it will be a tough pill to swallow considering Catra has been so SO MEAN TO HER this whole time like she literally broke reality rather than listen to people side with Adora LOL

“I don’t know what it is, but I do not like you.” It’s because your crush is obsessed with her, Scorpia

“If you get us out of this, I promise I won’t hate you. I will just dislike you a reasonable amount.” I kind fo love that this has turned into a Buddy Adventure for Adora and Scorpia:

I like that Adora is connecting with people (Scorpia, Lonnie, Madame Razz) every step of the way <3 

“Don’t you get it? I am never going to go with you.” I know I’ve called Catra Space Lesbian Furry Sasuke, but truly that is unkind to Sasuke bc it’s absolutely understandable why Sasuke does what he does, but Catra barely has a whisper of a motive for her actions. What? You miss Adora? She’s right there extending her hand every time. Shadow Weaver doesn’t love you? Tough. Glimmer and Bow are the only kids in this show who have parents. You got an inferiority complex? Surely the legions of followers and the putting down everyone you meet helps. You were raised by the Horde? So the hell was everyone else, you don’t see them collapsing reality. Get! Some! Help! 

“That’s alright, dearie. You don’t need to understand. You just need to remember.” I love Madame Razz

MICAH <3 At least one good thing has come out of this!!!!

It is tragic though, that in order to preserve the world, Glimmer will have to give up her father

“You’re a great fighter, a genius inventor, and you shouldn’t worry about what your dads think. They’re proud of you, just like I am. And Glimmer, you never give up, and you never admit defeat. I know making friends is hard for you, yet you’re the one who pulled us all together. I’ve never met anyone like you.” ADORA TALKING ABOUT ALL THE REASONS SHE LOVES HER FRIENDS <3 SWEET GIRL

Ohhhhhhhhh Angella’s goodbye to Micah is killing me. They love each other so much 

MICHAH CALLING OUT TO ANGELLA “I’M NOT” IS DADDY GLIMMER ALIVE??????????

“But whoever shuts the portal down can’t leave.” AHHHHH is Angella going to strand herself here? Poor Glimmer!!!!!!!!!!!! She’s going to lose both her parents at once 

You know, I actually thought now was gonna be the time that Horsey’s fate and Adora’s intertwined 

“You made me this.” SHUT UP CATRA, YOU MADE YOU THIS!!!!!!

“I didn’t make you do anything. I didn’t break the world, but I am gonna fix it. And you? You made your choice. Now live with it!” YEAHHHHHHHHHH ADORA 

“And now I choose to be brave.” ANGELLA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Does this mean Shadow Weaver is the only adult figure for these princesses now? Oh how the turn tables 

“So that’s where you’ve been, little brother.” Not only did Glimmer lose both of her parents, but also the plan didn’t really succeed? What a deeply sad ending to this season omg

It doesn't let me ask from my sideblog rather than my main-

Just wanted to say I love your art and you're funny as fuck. I love your art style, I can't pinpoint why, but it's extremely satifsying. Especially the way you colour eyes. They look very pretty.

Also- All your eras works. Like the fucking nyo 50s one is *Chefs kiss*. The 70s and 60s stuff, the 80s punk Arthur and jock Alfred- GOD.

I'm sitting down after I've finished doing some chores to reblog some of your stuff. I can't go crazy because I promised myself I'd be productive today but alas.

With care from your fellow friendly neighbourhood Hetalia lover, you're doing great. Consider me and many others very glad that you've been sucked back into this fandom like the rest of us (No idea how long you've been active, it's a bit of a Wasteland here tryna see who's alive or not, and who is new and from before lmao, but yeah).

-Hetaliafucker.
