Isabell and the Lads CH2: The Healing Process (2.3)

Writing Masterpost First Part| Last Part| Next Part Word Count: ~2.4k Warnings: Blood Mention

---

Marcus sets her down on the coffee table, carefully sliding her off of his palm. He sets her climbing hook down next to her before withdrawing his hands slowly. His blue eyes look her over, and he frowns when he sees the fresh blood seeping through her bandages.

“I’m sorry,” he says quietly, “about… all of this,” he adds. “With the dollhouse, I just wanted to make staying here as comfortable for you as possible. I thought that having somewhere you can go where things are basically your size… I thought that would be nice, I guess. I didn’t think about how… I just… I didn’t think. So… yeah. I’m sorry.”

“It’s… fine,” she says looking up at him. She was glad to be out of his hands, but now she has to look up at him, this feels almost worse. Even sitting down on the floor, his torso forms a solid wall in front of her. There is just no escaping how big these humans are. It feels like every time she looks up at one of them her heart stutters all over again, she doesn’t think she could ever get used to that.

And she isn’t going to have to. She assures herself.

As soon as she can climb, she’s out of here. As long as she can avoid being put in a cage, or a jar, she knows she’ll be able to escape.  She’ll be able to go home and pretend that this was all just a bad dream.

Zeke returns, a bundle of supplies in his arms. He sets everything down, arranging it all methodically on the coffee table, Marcus swipes the objects that he needs, chattering on about how they can try to make some supplies for her, to make things easier without having to use the dollhouse. Zeke mostly ignores him, but Isabell can see the way his brows twitch up, and how his eyes shift to his roommate every time he disturbs the supplies he’s laid out.

“Let me see your leg,” Zeke says evenly, she nods, her breath catching when his focus slides to rest solely on her.

Zeke’s eyes trace over the blood seeping through the bandages, his mouth presses flat in response. They only changed these a few hours ago, it can’t be a good sign that they’re already changing them again. With any luck, her stitches will be fine. She does not want to go through that process again.

His hands drift forward, and she can’t stop herself from sucking in a tense breath and holding it. Hands might forever be the bane of her existence. Fingers as long as she is tall, grabbing, pinching, squeezing. The sight of his hands reaching for her sparks a tessellation of memories to shatter across her mind.

Hands, shoving into her cramped hiding spaces, groping around blindly.

Hands capturing her roughly in a too tight fist.

Hands ripping open floorboards, wedging behind shelves, pulling away large furniture items.

Hands spreading her limbs, toying with her, bending her the wrong ways.

She knows he’s gentle, he’s done all this before and nothing like that happened. But it is still nerve wrecking to sit there and just let him touch her.  That goes against everything she is, everything she’s ever been taught.

“Your leg?” His voice brings her back to reality. She blinks, realizing suddenly her eyelashes are heavy with tears. She blinks them away rapidly, but there’s no hope of the human missing that. He's so observant it seems like he catches everything. His hand still hovers before her, his fingers shift as he fidgets with his empty hand. His eyes flick to hers, searching her face. He’s trying to help her, and she’s panicking about his hand. He hadn’t even touched her yet.

She can’t say her plan of making the humans think she trusts them is starting off very strong. So far, she’s had two, maybe three botched escape attempts, she’s panicked about a doll house, and she’s panicked about a hand being sort of near her. She needs to pull herself together before they put her back in the damn box.

“Sorry,” she says softly, quickly wiping her eyes. “Um I—” she doesn’t have an excuse, or an explanation for him. Not about this, not about the dollhouse. Not one that doesn’t involve her telling them about her entire life story. Considering how her throat is closing around her simple apology, she can’t imagine even attempting an explanation like that. “Go ahead,” she says with a sharp nod

Zeke doesn’t seem to respond, aside from letting go of a small sigh. He fiddles with his lip piercing and his brow pinch together, and his hand begins to slowly close the distance between them. She squeezes her eyes shut and turns her face away. His warm fingertip brushes against her leg. It doesn’t hurt, but she balls her hands into tight fists beside herself. She clenches her teeth and just repeats, you’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay inside her mind until he finishes taking care of her leg.

As soon as Zeke is finished, he silently collects the first aid kit, and walks off without sparing her a glance. Isabell takes a deep breath and inspects his handiwork. The bandage is neat and clean. He has incredible dexterity for someone of his size.

“While you’re up, grab a hot glue gun,” Marcus calls after him. He’s holding the remote and is preoccupied with something on the TV. He seems wholly unperturbed by Zeke’s cold nature. She wonders if that means that she shouldn’t read too much into it, or if Marcus is simply in his own world. Maybe both of those things could be true. “Have you ever seen The Lord of the Rings?” he asks her. She doesn’t know what that is, so she just shakes her head. “Hm. Okay,” he says with a frown and a determined nod, “We’ll be fixing that,” he turns back to the TV. “You know, just so we’re clear here, I’m considering you my third roommate.” He grins a bold toothy smile down at her. “Zeke probably won’t say it, but I know he feels the same way too,” Marcus leans in, dropping his voice to a playful stage whisper, “He doesn’t like talking about his feelings, but he has them. Don’t let him fool you,” he chuckles sitting upright once more. “But seriously, I don’t want you to worry about us thinking you’re,” he grimaces, unable to bring himself to say what he’s thinking. A toy, a pet, He redirects instead, “I don’t want you to worry. You’re our roommate, nothing less. Cool?”

“I…” She knows that she could never truly be their roommate. Living out in the open, existing in the same space as humans comfortably? As if. But this is a step in the right direction. They wouldn’t lock a roommate up in a jar. But of course, she hasn’t entirely ruled out the possibility that he’s telling her what she wants to hear, just like she’s doing for them. So, she quickly redirects her words, “I don’t even have a job,” she says quietly. Marcus’s brow pinches together in response.

“You… what?” he asks with a chuckle, caught off guard by her statement.

“I don’t have a job!” She repeats, “I don’t have money, I can’t go to the store or help with chores or do anything. Zeke told me about all of that human stuff today. How am I supposed to be your roommate if all you’re doing is taking care of me the whole time?” She frowns.

“Hey, that doesn’t matter,” he says, gesturing with the remote as he speaks, “Your job right now is just to rest and heal, alright? After that, we can figure something out. If you want some kind of chore, or job, or way to pay rent to make you feel better, then sure, you got it. That’s if you decide you want to stick around, of course. We just need to make sure your leg gets better first, Okay?” Marcus offers an encouraging smile. She finds herself awestruck by his confidence. He’s so sure that everything is going to be alright. His expression wraps a fuzzy warmth around her, like he’s just wrapped her in a blanket.

“Okay,” she says, a small smile spreading across her own face despite herself. This human is all too good at this game. Marcus turns his attention back to the TV.

Zeke returns not too long after that, settling back down on the floor beside Marcus. It’s obvious that he’s trying not to stare at her. After handing Marcus the hot glue gun, his eyes flick across the table, landing on just about everything else, except for her. Ultimately, he finds nothing to keep his attention, and settles for looking down at his hands.

“Zeke, she’s never seen The Lord of the Rings,” Marcus states, “Can you believe that?” He looks at him incredulously.

“When would she have seen… any movie?” Zeke returns, looking up to raise a brow in Marcus’ direction.

“That’s… huh. You have a point,” Marcus murmurs, then after a pause, he starts the movie and hands Zeke a bag of doll clothes. Zeke’s shoulders relax as he’s given a task to keep himself occupied

“What do you think?” Marcus asks, his attention turns back to her now that he’s laid out all of their craft supplies.

“This is…” She shakes her head, taking a second to truly look over all of the supplies they set out. She finds herself once again unable to find the right words, “this is… amazing,” she breathes the word, awestruck. She has access to everything she could ever need, right here. Typically, she can only work with things she can find. Things that humans wouldn’t miss. And of course, things she’s able to carry back with her. Objects that check all those boxes are unsurprisingly fairly difficult to find. But in a matter of minutes, the humans have placed an endless world of possibilities right in front of her.

A chill breaks through her excitement. All it costs her is her dignity and her freedom. Her smile faulters.

Marcus is beaming, obviously pleased that she’s finally starting to look happy. Zeke steals glances at her, looking up from his task of seam ripping the Velcro away from the doll garments.  Even he has a ghost of a smile playing across his lips.

The humans are pleased. They like that they did something to make her happy. She’s on the right track.  She shoves all other thoughts from her mind.

“You’re big into crafting then?” Marcus asks.

“I kind of have to be,” she says with a short laugh. “Everything I have, I have to make it out of repurposed human things. It’s my favorite part though. It’s like solving a puzzle,” she pauses, right, borrowing is generally frowned upon in the human world. They call it stealing or thief-ing something like that. “um, I only take things that wouldn’t be missed though,” she adds quickly. “And if I do find something really good, I try to repay the favor. Y-you know uh just little things. A trinket for a trinket. Or maybe a small repair like a torn curtain or a watch or… I don’t know stuff like that, it kind of depends on the human. But, um I don’t just take stuff.”

“It sounds like you’re basically a professional,” Marcus comments,

“I guess,” Isabell says with a shrug, thankful that he didn’t hang on the part about her taking stuff. She tries to remember if she’s ever gotten anything really good from this apartment. Something they might be sour about losing. She can’t come up with anything off the top of her head. “I’ve got some pretty cool things I’ve made back in my room. I’d show you but you wouldn’t be able to fit.” a playful grin spreads across her face as she talks.

“You’ll just have to recreate some of it, show me what you’ve got,” Marcus matches her energy effortlessly.

Everyone works in a comfortable quiet, with the movie playing on in the background. Zeke focuses on adjusting some of the doll clothes, Marcus is opening packages of little furniture and plates, doll things. Once he’s finished with that, they take stock of what they have. They have a lot of the basics covered. could stand to make a little kitchen and some other odds and ends, like a bookshelf. Marcus asks if he can help her with anything. She agrees, delegating to him the task of cutting popsicle sticks.

“You weren’t kidding, you’re really good at this stuff,” Marcus comments when the bookshelf they’re making is nearly complete.

“Like I said, I just have some experience,” she says, looking up at him.

“This is like, carpenter level stuff though. It’s seriously impressive,” he leans in close to inspect her handywork.

“Thanks. I- well, I was going to say I can typically work a little faster when it doesn’t hurt to stand, but actually, since you were cutting things for me, I think that might have made up for the lost time,” she says, moving herself over to her new couch.

“I’m glad I could help,” he says, watching the limp in her step and glancing over to Zeke, “Is your leg feeling alright?” he asks.

“I’m fine. I think I just need to take a break,” she sits down. For being doll furniture, the couch is surprisingly comfortable. As soon as she’s sitting, the exhaustion she’s been ignoring pounces on her, like it was waiting for her to let her guard down.  

“A break sounds good to me,” Marcus says, standing and stretching.

His full height towers over her, and she thought the sight of him sitting in front of her had been intimidating. Her heartbeat speeds up, dredging the last remaining ounces of adrenaline up to fight off her exhaustion once more. It feels like a losing battle, and she’s left feeling jittery and sluggish all at once. She would love to be able to close her eyes and sleep all of this off. She would love it even more if she could wake up already back home in the safety of the walls. But she knows that’s not going to happen. And she knows she doesn’t have a chance of getting any kind of sleep while there are humans there to watch her.

“Do you want a snack or something?” Marcus asks, already making his way to the kitchen.

“Okay.” She mumbles, though it’s likely that Marcus didn’t hear her. He was going to make a snack regardless.

ming is so interesting, like first of all they *are* living this domestic fantasy together pretty much for real, they *are* together, yet he's like, "you're literally no one to me" (btw this reminds me i forgot to count an oof moment)

but also he's kind of self-aware with his reminders (i mean he says that more than once i think) that, "you wouldn't wanna someone like me as you boyfriend"

Galileo Galilei Main Story

Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors and inaccuracies.

A few days have passed since Professor Maury and Drake took me to their house.

Sebastian: "Mitsuki, you said you've been having bad dreams lately. Are you okay?"

Mitsuki: "Oh, yes. I'm sorry for worrying you."

I said that, but the truth is, I'm still having nightmares.

(I sometimes have the same dream, and other times a different one.)

(But in every dream, I'm still a Dhampir.)

Sebastian: "They said that dreams can be either auspicious or ominous. Some historical figures achieved great things by taking their dreams as omens."

Sebastian: "Scary dreams are sometimes considered a sign of good luck, so why not treat them like fortune-telling?"

Mitsuki: "Hehe. That's a good idea."

I smiled appreciatively at Sebastian's concern.

(But the dreams I see are a little different from ordinary ones.)

(They're so vivid, almost as if they're pleading with me in sorrow.)

As I pondered this, Sebastian exclaimed next to me.

Sebastian: "We've run out of essential seasoning for tonight's menu."

Sebastian: "Mitsuki, could you accompany me to do some shopping? I need to visit a few stores."

Mitsuki: "Sure."

After arriving in town, we decided to split up. By the time I finished my part, the sun had begun to set.

(I think I got everything we need. Sebastian should be finishing up soon.)

I was looking at my shopping list as I made my way to our meeting place when一

Dog voice: "Woof!"

(Was that a dog's voice? It sounded like a scream.)

Suddenly, a high-pitched cry caught my attention, and I went into the back alley to look for the source of it.

There I found一

Child 1: "Haha, look at this filthy mutt!"

Puppy: *Whimper*

Child 2: "Dogs have to obey humans, you know!"

Several children were bullying a brown-haired puppy, poking it with a stick, and threatening it.

Mitsuki: "What do you think you're doing?!"

In a moment of panic, I moved to intervene, but something raced past me and leaped into the midst of the children.

Suddenly, a large dog with a gray coat appeared.

(Huh? A wild dog!?)

Stray Dog: "Grrr."

Child 1: "Whoa!? What's this thing!?"

The wild dog stood protectively over the puppy, glaring menacingly.

The children's faces immediately tensed as the dog, nearly their own height, appeared out of nowhere.

Child 2: "Shoo! Go away!!"

One of the children, holding a small stone, raised it, ready to throw it at the stray dog.

Mitsuki: "No, don't do that!"

I instinctively intervened, and the flying pebbles struck my arms and legs.

Mitsuki: "Ouch!"

Child 1: "Now's our chance, run!"

I crouched down in pain, and the children hurriedly ran away.

(My leg is bleeding, but I'm sure it'll heal just fine.)

Puppy: *Whimper*

I turned at the faint whimper and saw the puppy peeking at me from behind the wild dog.

Mitsuki: "I'm sorry for startling you. Are you both okay?"

Wild dog?: "........"

(This dog seems to be protecting the puppy. For now, it doesn't seem like it's going to attack.)

The wild dog seemed more cautious than alert, observing my actions.

Its eyes, upon closer inspection, had a purple hue, giving me a sense of déjà vu.

(The puppy's front paw is bleeding.)

It must have been injured earlier.

Mitsuki: "Will you let me patch that poor baby's paw?"

I took out my handkerchief and quietly addressed the dog, ensuring not to agitate it.

The wild dog seemed to understand my intention and moved away from the puppy.

(What a smart dog. Maybe it belongs to someone.)

(But it seems quite wild for a pet.)

As I wrapped the puppy's leg with the handkerchief...

???: "Sidereus, there you are."

(Huh? That voice.)

Recognizing the familiar voice, I turned around to see Professor Maury standing there.

Maury: "It's you again."

Mitsuki: "Hello. What a coincidence."

Seeing Maury's frowning expression, my voice unintentionally became sharper.

(I'm not trying to meet him on purpose, so why do we keep running into each other like this?)

Wild dog?: *Bark*

As I blurted that in my mind, the wild dog barked and walked towards him, sitting obediently by his feet.

(Come to think of it, he called the dog Sidereus earlier.)

Mitsuki: "Is that dog yours?"

Maury: "It's not a dog, but a wolf."

Mitsuki: "W-Wolf!?"

Surprised, I inadvertently raised my voice, thinking it was just a dog.

(This is the first time I've seen one up close. Is it okay to approach?)

Wolves are fierce creatures.

As I shivered with realization, he spoke as if he could see through me.

Maury: "Don't worry. Wolves don't attack humans."

Mitsuki: "I see."

Maury: "As long as you don't recklessly provoke it. Humans tend to exaggerate the ferocity of wolves due to twisted knowledge."

Mitsuki: "I see. Since it was trying to protect the puppy earlier, it must be a gentle creature at heart."

Mitsuki: "Thank you very much."

Sidereus: *Bark*

Maury: "........."

Suddenly, the wolf called Sidereus grabbed the hem of his cloak and tugged at it.

Maury: "What's the matter, Sidereus?"

Sidereus: *Bark*

Maury: "........."

Sidereus turned his head toward me as if wanting to say something.

He glanced alternately between me and the puppy behind me, furrowing his eyebrows slightly.

Maury: "Humans are truly foolish."

Mitsuki: "Huh?"

Maury: "They harm and persecute the weak, and that foolishness remains unchanged throughout time."

He muttered to himself and then approached me, grabbing my wrist.

Mitsuki: "What are you doing?"

Maury: "I'm going to stop the bleeding. Follow me."

Caught off guard by his unexpected words, I hurriedly tried to pull my hand back, but Professor Maury wouldn’t let go.

Mitsuki: “If that’s the case, I can do it myself. I have a handkerchief.”

Maury: “Isn’t that handkerchief wrapped around the puppy’s leg yours?”

(Oh, right.)

Puppy: *Whine*

He looked down at the puppy whining at my feet and calmly said:

Maury: “If you want to avoid getting mistreated by humans again, you better leave.”

Seemingly intimidated by him, the puppy took a step back, then looked at me and barked before slowly walking into the alley.

Mitsuki: “I’m glad he can walk.”

Maury: “........”

Maury: “Let’s go.”

He led me to the square and made me sit on the edge of the fountain, pouring water over the injured area.

Mitsuki: “........”

I endured the pain as the wound stung more than I anticipated. Then he took out his handkerchief to wrap it around the wound, but I hurriedly stopped him.

Mitsuki: “Your handkerchief will get dirty! I’m fine now.”

Maury: “What’s the point if I don’t stop the bleeding? Or are you going to leave it dripping everywhere?”

Maury: “It’s annoying to have the smell lingering around.”

(Lingering around?)

(It’s nice of him to treat the wound, but if it’s annoying him, he could just leave it.)

Maury: “Moreover, judging by the situation, you defended the puppy and Sidereus.”

Maury: “In that case, I owe you.”

His words made me blink.

(So, it’s a thank you?)

Honestly, I didn't really sense that kind of attitude from him, and it didn't seem like mere kindness either, but...

(Is he someone who sticks to his principles?)

As he wrapped the handkerchief around my leg, much like I did for the puppy, I noticed something.

Maybe it was the water or perhaps his naturally low body temperature, but his occasionally cold hand against my skin felt ticklish.

After wrapping the handkerchief, he looked up, and his purple eyes reflected me.

(Oh, I see. I just realized.)

The familiarity I felt in Sidereus's eyes was from him.

Maury: "Are there any other places that hurt?"

Mitsuki: "My arm."

I couldn't even bring myself to hesitate, so I just told him honestly.

As he rolled up the sleeve of my blouse and examined the wound, I couldn't bear the silence and searched for a way to start a conversation.

Townsperson 1: "The Paris Expo was amazing! Especially that huge telescope!"

Townsperson 2: "Yeah, I was surprised at how big it was. It was indeed the world's largest telescope."

(They were returning from the Expo.)

(Come to think of it, he's an astronomy professor.)

Mitsuki: "Um, did you happen to go to the Paris World's Fair? The highlight seems to have been the giant telescope."

When I tried to break the silence by throwing out a topic I had found, he let out an exasperated sigh.

Maury: "That telescope was too large to be practical for astronomical observations. It was basically a front they put up for the World's Fair."

Mitsuki: "I see. I had no idea."

Maury: "Those in power are more interested in showcasing the country's prestige than pursuing the truth."

I sensed a tinge of discomfort in his voice.

(He seems more lamenting than irritated.)

Mitsuki: "That's somehow sad, isn't it?"

Mitsuki: "There should be things more important than just appearances."

Maury: "........."

(When I heard about him from Isaac before, I thought he might be someone who confronts truth for the sake of principles.)

Mitsuki: "I hope the importance of pursuing truth, as you say, gets through."

I spoke my mind, and he glanced at me for a moment, then averted his gaze.

Maury: "It won't."

Mitsuki: "Huh?"

Maury: "Humans are creatures who define what's convenient for themselves as truth."

Maury: "Even if the truth is revealed, if it's inconvenient, they'll be condemned and excluded."

Maury: "I know of a fool who pursued the truth despite knowing this and ended up with a life sentence."

(I wonder if that person is his friend.)

He quietly and decisively labeled someone a fool, but I didn't see it that way.

Mitsuki: "I don't think that guy is a fool."

Maury: "What?"

Mitsuki: "If he ended up with a life sentence, it means there were people around who opposed him or hid the truth."

Mitsuki: "Persisting with your beliefs and pursuing the truth amidst such adversaries is not that easy, you know?"

Maury: "........."

Mitsuki: "For me, that person is braver than anyone else."

Maury: "........"

(Professor Maury?)

He lowered his gaze, concealing the lonely expression hidden behind his amethyst eyes.

THOUGHTS ON MY GIRL KASKI!?!?!?!?!?!

This was the first one I answered, but now that I've put so much more into other responses, I'm going to rewrite this one hehe. So to the anon that asked for the first one, I hope this response does you more justice :D

Kaski wasn't really one of my TOP favorite characters but that ofc doesn't mean I didn't like her. Her design is really cool and I feel like it gets her doomed Twitch streamer theme across great xD Though I would be interested to see her shirt design with better detail. The sign on the head was a cool detail and I kinda wish it was kept for the remake. Also I am OBSESSED with her messy hair in her og polo, the disheveled look suits her really well considering what all she went through. The hands are a really cool idea and I'm glad those stayed in her design for the remake :D The one covering her mouth in her og polo feels really creepy but it's great for her design

(Also does she have a piercing in the bridge of her nose or is that just her nostrils? I could see Kaski with a piercing like that)

Her sound is really cool too, I love how she has this thousand yard stare as she does it and it's just really ominous and creepy but almost angelic sounding. I love that despite all the changes Kaski has gone through, her sound really hasn't changed, I can't see her with anything else xD

She doesn't have the most involvement in my AU yet, besides that she still goes to therapy but hates it and feels like it's not going anywhere for her, but she starts venting to Tab and Tab tries to help her out more and give her more fun stuff like videogames to play and only then did they start to see an improvement in her mood. I imagine she's got a grumpy attitude on her hehe, in my AU she's like, 19-21 so she's younger but given her streaming and stuff I feel like that just suits her better than her canon 28-45

[my-devil-may-cry-brainrot]

DmC: Devil May Cry- Mission 4: Under Watch

The loading screens themselves are always so cool. Also, scythe.

Yet again, if this is such a densely populated city, why are there hardly any cars driving on the streets and hardly any pedestrians? I mean, I know why, because the developers didn't want to have to program moving through traffic, but still.

BLOB, FROM X-MEN?

well, it's obvious that Virility doesn't actually make you lose weight.

Dante's expression looking a little soft kind of melts me

Immediately back to gremlin mode. Love it.

BEHOLD, THE ALL-SEEING EYE OF SAU-- I mean, Mundus.

I hate that I fell so many times getting between these. How embarrassing.

Yeah, fuck Big Brother.

...Literally, what the hell is this? It somewhat resembles one of the special red doors I'm supposed to bust through with my axe, but it does nothing? And I can't use Devil Pull on it, either? But it looks important?

"Come closer", says the ominous voice and words. "Nope!" says my survival instinct.

Oh, fuck these things.

Do I get completion bonuses if I find a key but can't get it? *hehe* If only.

Wait I figured it out. I feel so smart.

"homeless for you"??????

ain't no way I can get both of those hard-to-reach souls wtf

The Frost Knights are cool. I hate them.

Well, fuck you, too.

Another impossible place to get to????

Why does this remind me of a meme template of some dumb quote that sounds philosophical and wise but is actually stupid?

Awww Dante with the soft expression again, caring about her life. So cute.

I hate these ugly flying demon baby cherub things

Such a badass, perfectly timed screenshot. If I say so myself.

FLAPPY JACKET

DANTE'S ASS

THE WAY HE GLANCES AT HER TO MAKE SURE SHE SAW HIM BEING A BADASS LMAO

THE WAY HE TRIED TO PLAY OFF NEARLY STUMBLING AFTER LANDING

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Proof corporate media is corrupt in every universe. Falsely blaming Dante for shit is one thing but...??? MURDERING WOMEN AND CHILDREN???? HE DID NOT!!

Shiiiit the health/death penalties for the boss battle was brutal. All those enemies PLUS the Tyrant??? ugh

I managed to get all but ONE soul and I have no idea how to get it. No idea where the other key could have been, either.

[hydrate-or-diedrate]

Day 12 of reading homestuck, starting intermission 2 😔

But first, Nepeta doodle

Half of the children are dead, and now we're doing Egypt things I guess wahoo

And she's 15?! Even more inchresting

Oh my gosh it's genderbent John

Oh wait wait no, new Jade took John's place (sorta but not quite) and got named Jade, and new John took Jade's place and is named Jake? AND HES NEARLY 16?This age difference is like peanuts tbh because they're still kids but still!!

Or maybe he took Rose's place, judging by the symbol on his shirt...

Okay look this is fun and all but I wanna know if my version of my babies survived the scratch 😭

Wait, the bunny belong to Jake's *grandma*? So are these the reset version of the quartet's kids??

I'm so confused y'all

I sincerely hope this goes faster than the beginning of the story did I might actually die if it doesn't

Is this all lowercase gray text person,,, a version of Karkat? Wouldn't the trolls have not been affected by the scratch/reset since they were sitting outside the universe? Sorry, all lowercase with capital U

Woah that's some ominous white text

Okay this version of Lalonde has the exact same hair as Rose's mom and a drink this has to be their predecessors but funky

FFS JANE ITS JUST CALLED A "FLAG"

Ooookay so this is B2, and the Jade he's talking to is in B1, is what I'm hearing. And then I'm guessing that UU is in A1 just for the hell of it because that sounds right for no reason.

Hehe squirtle glasses

lae'zel is hot. the sword scene is hot. hiri has immediate gay panic and forgets flute for 2 whole seconds. asks lae'zel if seen flute. lae'zel doesn't even know what a flute is.. smh. sticks around because was told to. does whats told (for now........ ominous.) so to start lae'zel is literally party lead this clown is NOT a protagonist (for now...... no im not making that joke twice)

SHADOWHEART IS HOT... absolutely ignores lae'zel to free shadowheart. literally dumbass tries to pull the door off. lae'zel ends up being the one like "maybe u should look around if u INSIST on saving this HALF ELF." frees shadowheart :) oh my god you have an autistic hyperfixation too?? your rock is so cool!!!!!!!

the flute is not rescued. please F's in chat for the lost flute of afhiri's childhood. her father made her that flute and it's DEAD. AND THERE WASN'T EVEN TIME FOR A FUNERAL.

the first thing they do after hoarding all of the fish on the beach like a little goblin creature is find gale's portal. shiny. Oh My God is that an arm without a body? that is Soooo cool...... high fives. they free him of course!!! used bard Magicks to calm that shit down and free the silly man. she finds him SOOO silly. he is such a silly little guy. his lil expressions and hand movements are SO funny. she wants to get acting classes from him so she can be just as funny and then she'll rank up in Clown. she's sure of it. (he is a clown to her. a truly excellent clown. there's real talent..........)

after that she gets knife throat by astarion :( not very nice of you :( i would have given you money if u wanted :( oh not a robbery? OH WE'RE WORM BUDDIES? friendship acquired :) they genuinely don't have any more thoughts rly at the start because he is mean and she doesn't understand its mean and looks at him stupidly like a dog who cannot understand the new word u just said. tilts head :)

their friendship stat is SO high all of a sudden. this clown has had NO friends their entire damn life (weirdo coded) and suddenly they've got SOOO many best friends oh my god they're so excited for the campfire stories hehee :)

next is oh my godd its the hot. gi..gi... Girlfriend? :) no its gith u stupid clown. get pied. ANYWAY tells the tieflings some absolute BULLSHITERY. this clown is So good at lying (this is a positive. their moral code is kinda messy.) and frees lae'zel :) shadowheart doesn't trust lae'zel but how can you Not when she's Also Green? I'm Green? You're Green? Da Ba Dee

after that its oh my god is that A GOBLIN? never seen a goblin before. finds them extremely cute. they're also kind of green (positive). and A WARG? can i PET IT? No? It'll eat me? bite off my hand? chew up my suit? this is supreme sadness. wait- flute still gone. that's supreme sadness. ALSO WYLL IS FUN!!!! wyll gives her fairytale hero prince vibes and is absolutely fascinated and thinks as a bard should sing of his tale because hes so cool (please don't trust them. they will make him sound like a fool.)

hearing about the spooky scary teeth-ling from wyll is super!! exciting!!!! a devil?? fought in devil war?? fire?? death?? epic story . we must find out more (not to kill. to talk to. must have some REALLY COOL STORIES!!!) very easy to convince wyll not to kil- OH MY GOD HOT?? HOT? ?? literally hot. this is the most Supreme Gay Panic. afhiri never thought about girls (or boys) like this before. none of the Lads give the Panik.. but these girls are a little too much (fainting vibes) also karlach is so fun :) daydreams about karlach throwing her like a javelin into battle

the tadpole though :/ they don't know!! everyone keeps saying. bad! evil! bad! removal! death! kill! and they're like :/ idk guys.. worms are kinda cute. u ever seen a worm do a lil wiggle on some mud? its so cool.. i wish i was a worm..... everyone is concerned. do not trust them with decisions (they trust them with decisions. they are All stupid.) they name the worm. the worm is named little buddy. it's not creative. it's not a name. but this is Little Buddy and she talks to her little buddy sometimes. she even wrote it a song. (she doesn't consume more little buddies. that's weird.. this is HER little buddy and those are OTHER little buddies. there's only one little buddy for her....)

extra: GUARDIAN. oooohhhhh my god .. never seen someone soooooo CLOWN. (this is false. guardian looks nothing like a clown. theyre projecting HARD. guardian plays along because this is clearly going to work better than being Hot and Mysterious). trust them explicitly (reminder: not smart), treats like another Best Friend like the squad. gets sad they don't ever join them in camp for her performances. does private performances sometimes :)

DOUBLE EXTRA: the possession.. of Flute 2.

a daring tale of (gale takes some of the squads money and buys them a flute. cannot bare to see the sad puppy dog eyes any longer.) AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE OF PERIL AND DANGER... THERE WAS GNOLLS AND GOBLINS AND MAYBE A BEHOLDER!!!!! gale.. an incredibly brave adventurer.. this is going in his next song

[funnywormz]

top 10 lobby boy looks please and thank you rate this man like he's in an issue of cosmo and we're ripping him asunder

this was a toughie bc idk anything abt fashion and his outfits aren't described in as much detail as the manager but i still had fun!! decided to only use publicly accessible canon episodes for this (no bonus eps, nothing patreon exclusive) hehe. also let me reiterate once more that i have the worst fashion sense in the entire world

NUMBER 10: 4.10 - audrey burns

awesome episode but this fit sounds boring as hell. it doesn't sound BAD but just...... boring.......... doesn't even have a hat. sad

NUMBER 9: 4.1 - perry sherwin

he doesn't like it and i don't either. white is definitely not the best colour to be wearing when you're employed at a slimy gross murder hotel lol. maybe it looked kinda cool but thinking abt him trying to get the stains out makes me a little sad. also plain white is kinda boring imo....... although it could look cool in a kind of stark way i suppose

NUMBER 8: 4.17 - debbie houston

putting this one low on the list bc it's uncomfortable for him and he didn't like it which is sad. but it's at number 8 not lower bc i instinctively know he was serving cunt here. like i know he looked kinda sexy in it. but he doesn't like it and comfort should always come before fashion imho, hence its low spot on the list. also he didn't even get to wear it out of the closet.......

NUMBER 7: 4.16 - alex potenski

made the manager cringe but i think it sounds kinda cute in an ugly way. like he could wear this to a barbecue or to the beach or something. i like it when madam hotel puts him in pink.........

NUMBER 6: 4.7 - dorothy rennup

it's giving librarian. it's giving tumblr history teacher aesthetic. unfortunately i have a weakness for that kind of outfit so i think it sounds cute. it also sounds comfortable and warm which is important! and the collared button up under a sweater look is always something i enjoy................

NUMBER 5: 4.3 - the habers

we never actually get this one properly described to us which is why it isn't higher on the list. based on the hotel taking on a 70s aesthetic in this episode and the fact that even THINKING about this made the manager cringe kinda fills me with joy bc i know it was ugly and campy as hell. in my heart i know he was so garish and awkward looking and sweaty in this episode and i love it.

NUMBER 4: 4.9 - mr platt

i think this sounds cute sorry miss manager. once again i like it when the hotel puts him in pink outfits. by "coral" im assuming it's a pink/peachy coral type of colour which i think would look cool in combination with black. tidy but a little bit ugly in a way that i enjoy greatly. idk exactly why i like this one as much as i do. but i do.

NUMBER 3: 5.2 - it watches and it smiles

LOVE THIS THANG! underrated episode imo. i love the way this episode combines ominous terror with like, pleasant night time tropical beach vibes. it's rlly good. the description of the lobby boy in this episode is also rlly good. something chunky and very low to the ground that can't move fast but has very very long grabby arms and bulging big eyes and an evil grin........ i love it. sounds very spooky. love it when he's at the window menacing the guy inside. it's easy to get a vague idea of this creature in my head but hard to pin it down to a specific design which i think is intentional, and i rlly like it. very shaped animal. sounds like he might look at little bit silly if you caught him in the daylight perhaps, although that isn't necessarily a bad thing

NUMBER 2: 2.2 - cracker man

sadly we don't get much of a description of cracker man but im putting him high up bc i think he is awesome. bones sticking out everywhere, joints and the wrong angles, all skinny and tall and bulging and swollen and creaking........ love it. i bet he looks so scary. the idea of the monster chasing you being all broken and sad and in pain itself is very compelling. also the body horror side to the cracker man where he's constantly creaking and snapping with every movement is so uncomfortable (in a good way). also as someone with very creaky and sometimes painful joints i can relate to him.

NUMBER 1: 4.5 - robert watson

maybe this sounds underwhelming but hear me out. HEAR ME OUT OK! this is one of the few episodes where the lobby boy is described as wearing the classic red lobby boy uniform, and it's extra shiny and fancy and pretty this time. i think he was physically at his peak of lobby-boy-ness here. the red outfit with the hat and shiny buttons is a classic and it's his most iconic look ever. most people in the fandom including me draw him this way. it might seem boring or generic bc it's so common but to me this outfit is just His Outfit. it's the lobby boy outfit. unbeatable imo. if he was a cartoon character and wore the same outfit every episode i just KNOW it would be this one. it's a classic. i will not be swayed on this.

Stumbled upon your blog yesterday and realised you were the one behind the Utena Bet On it AMV, plus all the other videos on that channel! I had a friend who had already watched RGU reccomend the show to me and when I finished the finale she sent me a bunch of videos, essays, meta, memes she really liked about Utena. Out of the videos your vine videos, your bet on it amv and your tiktok sounds utena videos all featured as Things U Gotta Watch. Top Tier. And they are! I cannot stress how good they are. I've got a friend I'm trying to get to watch utena and I'm already prepared to send your whole channel her way.

Like, your Bet On It amv is just crazy - to the point I associate the whole song with utena instead of high school musical. High School Musical Who? I have driven home from work with the song blasting and in my head I'm thinking of the corrosponding imagery in my head. listened to the song a LOT just thinking of the amv. 'blame the world but never blame you' and it focusing on anthy. the start 'everybodys tryna get in my head' with everyone who manipluates utena? the bridge speeding up through all their utena/anthys relationship until utena gets up again at the climax of the song? This video is a masterpiece.

The vines and the tiktok sounds are soooo spot on and hilarious. every onee. and seeing an upbeat version of 'empty chairs at empty tables' to the end of utena emotionally altered something in me oh my lordie. I got introduced to the song The Draw from your other amv, which is SO PERFECT for the black rose arc?

And as a Lizzy McApline fan the ceilings youtube short took me OUT! the way the details about the car, the lines about 'you dont exist' being applied to utena's prince/akio, 'story ive seen before' being the prince/princess/witch ohturi mythology and ending with anthy at the end....... !!!!

All this to say I love all your utena edits on youtube and will be watching them many times over, as well as showing them to other people. Great work. ╰⁠(⁠*⁠´⁠︶⁠`⁠*⁠)⁠╯

🥺 This message is so damn nice and I have reread it multiple times cause oh my god your appreciation of my videos just makes me so happy and I'm so glad you watched and enjoyed them!! 😭 The support I've gotten from the fandom is very heartwarming, I just love it!!!

Yes hehe I'm the one behind all those videos! The Bet On It video specifically was one that lived in my head for YEARS until I finally sat down and decided to make it everyone else's problem too 😂 I would just listen to the song on repeat while geting overly emotional imagining Utena's journey and the fact I was tearing up to a Troy mf Bolton song was so unhinged 💀 yet now look at me, I have spread my vision like a plague amongst the fandom and everyone else gets to be just as unhinged over the golf course disney movie meme song as I am ⛳️ I would have it no other way. My favorite comments on that video are the ones along the lines of "I clicked this thinking it was gonna be funny but now I'm crying" cause if that doesn't just sum up the experience of Revolutionary Girl Utena itself then idk what does 😂

RGU's tonal conflict is one of my favorite things so choosing goofy audios for the end of the show was such a treat lmfao. And ugh The Draw is just such a good and ominous song. I rlly love how the Black Rose arc is all about radicalizing character's emotions to the point where they'll do anything to get what they think will fix their lives. Reverse therapy with Mikage is a hell of a drug. 🦋☞

I rlly feel like Ceilings captures that self-sacrificial "first love" feeling so many girls go through (especially with men) where they're uncomfortable and can't be open but ignore all those red flags until it gets to a point where things crumble and they realize the relationship never existed how they were imagining it. GAH THE FEELINGSSSS.

Sheesh thank you so much again for this message, it really brightened my week and was so touching to read. 😭💜 If I may humbly offer some video suggestions (if you haven't already watched them) I really love the For Your Love amv by Mari F and the Utena in 7 Minutes amv by Akilice. The first rlly captures that melancholic yet hopeful tone of Utena & Anthy and the latter has the audacity to make me emotional over a goddamn acapella Hamilton mashup of all things 💀 (the It's Quiet Uptown part literally destroys me every time.....). Digi Story has an Utena Deep Dive Analysis that I really enjoy, he talks about how RGU is "prismatic" in it's storytelling where there's no singular interpretation because there's just so much to look at and analyze. And finally, the Therefore You and Me animatic by edsartfactory literally changed my life it's ridiculously good!!

AHH thanks once again and I hope you have a great weekend!! 💞

Little Howard Phillips Lovecraft lives in Providence, in a gloomy house, with mother and granny. His father is going crazy, and Howard... No, no, wait. That will be tooooo boring.

Ready to mindf*ck for 83 minutes? Go!

And the first film of the trilogy:

Sarah, Howard's mom, doesn't make the best decision when she takes him to an insane asylum to visit his father, Winfield, who screaming in agony of madness, and still haunted by nightmarish leads and bad trips. He alleged traveled through nightmarish worlds and learned something forbidden that corroded his mind. The psychiatrist - Dr. West (not Herbert, but his father), tries to help, but seems to be unsuccessful.

At home, Sarah makes an even worse decision: she gives Lovecraft the diary of Winfield. "Oh, Howard, I'm so worried about you! Here's a notes that made your dad crazy as f*ck, by the way!" And who would have thought!: hell diary takes Howard to Canada other world! All frozen and snowy, no sign of life. He has to find the way home. But the big monster, similar to Cthulhu, attacked on the kid. This scary thing wants to deal with the future writer, but almost falls off a cliff, and Howard saves him. This is Cthulhu Tuthumon, or simply Spot, as the Lovecraft called him, and now they are best friends.

Spot brings Howard to his friends. Don't be fooled like me, these heroes are not deep ones! I don't know what Squidward kids they are. Moderately annoying characters - four orphans, not only take Howard to spend the night, but bring him up to date. His father had previously visited this place, in search of secret knowledge. This could help Howard return, but at the same time, there is a risk of not only going crazy, but awakening the dark lord of Cthulhu, sleeping in R'lyeh. After ominous dreams - the storyline for the following films, in the morning, taking all the risks, the boy and Spot go to the city.

Once green and prosperous, R'lyeh now stands frozen and desolated. But what happened? The new character, queen Algid Bunk, tell about this. At first, she received Howard and Spot not very warmly in her castle, but then softened. And, yes, find the main villain of the film? Found? Good. The children's movie could fool me, but it can't fool you - she's the main villain. Don't think that I'm completely stupid (only half!), but here everyone, except for Howard and Sarah, looks like potential villains. Moreover, all of them (well, except the squid family) are actually villains. This is not a spoiler. If character creepy and/or ugly, he/she is villain. Or if he/she is sexy. The queen's assistant is sexy, and just try to say no: Nyarlathotep is always sexy.

By the way, R'lyeh looks like Bruma from Oblivion. And ghouls live there. Which is logical.

Algid Bunk explains that Howard is part of a prophecy that speaks of saving R'lyeh. A long time ago, everything was awesome in R'lyeh, but everyone relaxed, someone began to worship the dark gods, awakened Cthulhu, and everything turned upside down. Cthulhu was put to sleep again, but failed to restore the glory of the city. (During this story, we are shown a cartoon within a cartoon, so follow the details. I didn’t do this the first time, and then I was in "wow da hell is that" condition). Abdul Alhazred himself wrote about arrival of Howard! He just need to take the second diary from the shoggoth, and Howard himself, as a bonus, will be able to return home.

By the way, about Alhazred - the characters treat to him differently. With fear, respect, disdain. But he certainly was and is. Poet, "not a king" and wizard. And in the future one of the most important figures of the trilogy.

Shoggoth lives deep under the mountain (of madness hehe). His "tekeli-li" will follow you everywhere. Sounds like a sex effender, so you'll be doubly uncomfortable. (And umm I googled the voice actors and shoggoth has Ronald Perlman voice... ups).

Spot stay at the descent, and Howard, confusing a penguin with a shoggot (looks funnier than it sounds), go down into the depths. Shoggoth tries to kill Howard, in parallel, telling that Spot is not Tuthumon at all, and not a friend at all. This is a sleeping Cthulhu and he will definitely wake up. Moreover, Howard, without knowing it, launched a cosmically large mechanism: everything will get f*cked up. The old and dark-dark gods will rise, chaos will begin... Spot comes to the aid of a little friend and almost dies. They are saved by the Elder Sign given by father to Howard. The sign is a medallion that emits light and undermines all the villains. The Shoggoth bursts, the diary is taken, the friends return to queen Algid Bunk.

She, meanwhile, babble with Nyarlathotep. It turns out that there is a plan to please Azathoth (no, not in that sense) but if you want then I won't mind mmmkay, I mean who don’t). But Howard himself might die. Algid Bunk is more optimistic than Nyarlathotep, believing that the boy will manage and later we will understand why. And we also find out that these two have been hanging around here for centuries. This is also important for history. In general, you know, I don’t like to scatter unnecessary words. That is why I am joke about a shoggoth-sex-efender in a review of a children's cartoon.

Well. Little Lovecraft brings the diary to Algid Bunk. And the veil of secrecy has fallen! She is not the queen Algid Bunk, but Abdul Alhazred! And Abdul actually a woman, which no one guesses abought. Cool stuff!

A fight ensues: Algid Bunk (already Abdul) with nightgaunts and ghouls against Howard, Spot and the squid family that came to the rescue. It was possible to win again thanks to the sign of the ancients, frying everyone like grilled sausages. The power of friendship also helps: Spot resists Abdul's spells and doesn't wake up like Cthulhu. The villains are defeated. Abdul, crawling along the walls, escapes. What did she want? Reign in all realms and dimensions. What did she get? She was p*ssed off by a seven year old and seafood.

The portal to home is open! The path is clear! Little Howard says goodbye, but promises someday to return to a city R'lyeh, free from Abdul Alhazred. Now Lovecraft have maaaany friends.             

Returning one of diaries to Winfield, Lovecraft gives him a little joy. Psychiatrist West reports that Wilbert is getting better. And also makes it clear that there will be a sequel. Well, well, well…

I would say that the film has more flaws, which the next two films highlight. And as an independent, and together with them - it is not very good from the technical side. There are stretched scenes just for the sake of timing. They can cause a slight cringe, but for children they will do just -fine-. The background is empty and lifeless, and it’s striking. Dialogue sometimes sounds like the characters are not following each other's speech, and many conversations are needed for the same purpose - to stretch the time. And if Lovecraft really saw people and the world like that - oh my God, I can understand his "misontropy". By the third film, you get used to it (no!!!), but the first minutes of the film... they are all scary as sh*t. Except for Sarah, she is like an angel. Little Howard is incredibly cute, sweet boy! Design 10 of 5 Tuthumons. But the designs of the rest of the characters are also cool, here creators tried to come up with an original and good taste. They just... mhhh...

The characters themselves are all surprisingly likable. Even those who are supposed to annoy are not annoying. The main characters evoke empathy and interest, the main villain... Algid Bunk is simply awesome! In this interpretation, Abdul Alhazred is a woman, which pleasantly struck me. She's registered. The design of her two forms is cool, especially the "real" form. And try to argue with me! Do I want this figurine? Let me get my credit card. Will she come to me in nightmares? Oh yeah! But I will let her do with me whatever she wants (and in the following parts I will greatly regret these words, but everything has its time).

By the way, disclaimer, I'm not judging low budget movies for bad animation and stuff like that. These are not Disney movies, so "I knew what I would watch." This is purely for information.

There are jokes that I really laughed at, like the one where Lovecraft calls a penguin from the Necronomicon The diaries are an unfinished Necronomicon (the diaries are an unfinished Necronomicon, didn't I say? well now i said) and it actually appears.

The story won't be boring. You will be carried away for this hour and twenty minutes, whether you are a child or an adult. It is better to know the world of Lovecraft in advance in order to better understand what is happening, but even without this you are able to penetrate and enjoy the chthonic madness, friendship and popular interpretation of the writer's life - he described what he himself experienced.

I give the first film of the trilogy 5.5/10 Tuthumons.

[mackmp3]

rowland s howard’s teenage snuff film for the ask game!

yeah cool! teenage snuff film very cool album!

best song - probably Exit Everything, has a bit of all the things i really like about the album, but is also relatively normal enough to listen to in front of other people, but is also Really Cool yes its so good

favourite song - Sleep Alone! even with the like two and half minutes of feedback at the end sleep alone is so cool! its just ahh i love the guitar sound he gets. and the whole thing sounds ominous and really cool and i love the lyrics too i just looked them up to check and they're cool than i thought and the 'shut me up shut me down stop me if you can my love i'm less than nothing im a misanthropic man' bit AHHH SO COOL

least favourite - white wedding, don't much care for the original either. just doesn't have the same vibes.

most overrated - i dunno how popular it is but autoluminescent always gets played when i have shuffle on and even though i do like it it feels kinda overplayed now but that's probably just me

most underrated - Silver Chain - it's so cool! i really like this one but it feels lesser known i think

banger of all bangers - gonna have to say Sleep Alone again for this one it's just so cool ahhh

out of ten - i reckon a seven or eight? 7.5 rounded up lets say. like it's really cool and some of the songs are really cool, i love the overall style and sound, but some of the songs aren't quite as good. but it's so cool hehe i do really like it :D

"i know who i am! im the type of guy who kisses women randomly!"

"doct-eah" they're so married

THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS "hes planning to take my body so that he will live and i will die :0 *run*"

thats sweet

wait how does he die then

*after google* ohhh okay guess ive gotta watch the 50th anniversary now

[crossover-enthusiast]

Jack decides to just go along with it for the sake of not upsetting the poor kid, but Ross seems a little sad anyway. Jack keeps staring off into the amazing view they're both bearing witness too, but then, he feels Ross tug on his sleeve again. And he hears Ross say his name, so he turns back to face him.

This time, Ross has a more serious and stern expression. And he says in an almost ominous tone, "Go back to your town."

A little unnerved by this sudden change in demeanor, Jack asks him to repeat himself.

...in a voice suddenly much deeper than one a 6 year old would have, Ross repeats himself, saying: "Go back to your town right away. If you don't, you'll live to regret it. It'd be pathetic to see."

Jack is now taken aback. It's like as if something had taken over Ross, like something was possessing him. Jack nervously asks why he'd regret it. To which Ross only gives a more colder glare. This time, he says, "Stop whining. If a parent protected their child from being hit by a car by pulling them back, they wouldn't tell them why, would they? They wouldn't tell them so they wouldn't scare their child. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I hate you. If I did, I wouldn't even be warning you."

Jack freezes. This.. this doesn't seem like the Ross he had spent the day with. Who the hell was this? Had someone taken Ross's place while he wasn't looking? Was this some kind of doppelganger? Out of his own fear, Jack says while gulping, "What are you? You aren't Ross... who are you?"

Ross looks at Jack, as if observing him for a moment. An ominous smile then crosses Ross's face. "Hm?" Ross then let out a laugh that almost sounded menacing, like a laugh of someone who enjoyed another's suffering. Ross then spoke in a weirdly adult voice again, still smiling, "Such a coward.. I wouldn't feel surprised if you never left this town at all. Hehe.. heheh.."

And just like that.. Ross suddenly falls flat on his face, and goes limp. To which Jack immediately responds by bending down and asking him if he's okay.

(Stopping so ya can read)

OH he was possessed

O k a y

[berryunho]

omg i know how u feel i don't think i'll be graduating in 4 bc i have to do co-op terms so it delays my grad by a year or smth?? we'll see how things go

wow that's so cool!! the dedication is immaculate i would always give up after a month or so. do you know any other languages aside from eng and korean?

ooo i'm kinda the opposite like nothing really interests me outside of courses in my major or other science courses. i've gotta do some arts credits and scrolling thru them is like... okay this sounds interesting then i read the syllabus and its like readings and essays and discussion groups then im like NOPE LOL BYE

that's so funny cause i saw someone sleeping in a corner of the stairs. ppl will sleep anywhere and i don't blame them. could you imagine falling asleep near the river ugh bless

omg yes like with chem i always end up working backwards from the answer (wink wonk) to see what i did wrong and usually it's a lot 😭

it wasn't too bad! it was kinda cold but not windy so i was okay. i still brought a jacket with me cause it was windy af during the day and i thought it'd be the same at night but nope there goes my money for coat check 😭

ohh!! that sounds fun, did you manage to find anything? red hair is so nice. everyone i've seen so far with red hair pulls it off so well and i'm lowkey convinced it's a colour that works on everyone....

thank you!! i did have lots of fun : D i might've died on the bus ride back... but we don't talk abt it..........

-mightychondria

yeahhh i have to get a masters degree for the profession im aiming for so... if everything goes to plan that's six years of university and i do NOT want it to be more 😭😭 hopefully your graduation doesn't get delayed too much ??

:LKFJDKFSJD:LFKJ oh boy languages and me... lowkey obsessed w learning them SO one set of my grandparents were german and didnt speak english so i know very basic german (my dad didnt think it was important to teach me. crying screaming throwing up.) and i got to be pretty okay at finnish at one point but i've forgotten ALL of it lol and i took 2 years of latin in highschool which was very fun but again i forgot most of it KLFJSFDLJK AND FINALLY i took a couple years of american sign language in middle school but i literally remember the alphabet and basic kindness' :'] ive also attempted swedish, norwegian, spanish, and french with ... immediate failure ! hehe

i get what you mean 😭for me its not that i dislike my stem courses but i actually love reading and writing essays and stuff and i just wish i could do more of that 😭 but the majority of my stem friends definitely would agree w you LOL

ugh for real it would be so nice to sleep outside in the sun i feel like ... living out that cat/dog life ... but id be too scared of being kidnapped LKJJFSKFJKS

that is definitely the way to do chem 😭 just gotta learn from your mistakes until there are none ! i had an exam last friday and ... i should be getting that grade tonight or tomorrow so im very anxiously waiting to see how i did ...

nooooo not the coat check money... i cannot even imagine how much clubs make in the winter just from coat check like 😭 some nights at one of my local clubs its literally more expensive to check your coat than to get in 😭

sadly i still havent figured out who/what to be... i think im gonna wait to dye my hair though so that it lasts longer ... so i really dk LOL im lazy tbh so i normally go for something i can just wear my normal clothes for... and since i just finished breaking bad im thinking maybe jane ??? i dress like her irl (though less 2008) and id just need a wig LKJFS:LDJKF BUT IDK !!! do you have any costumes in mind? or any plans?

WNA HALLOWEEN - THE GREAT HIDE & SEEK HUNT!

HALLOWEEN INTERVIEW - ROSALIA MORGAINNE

SCENE I

[distant screaming]

ALKIN: Hm, it seems that the festivities are going quite well by the sound of it. There have been over 400 tickets sold and the students are hard at work to make sure that everything is going smoothly. That's good.

I think that you would have enjoyed this as well, Astra.

[footsteps]

... Hm. It seems that Morgainne's chamber is currently empty of visitors. I shall pay her a visit then.

[door creaking]

Greetings.

ROSA: My love- I knew you would come for me at last! Even as the years got har-

ALKIN: This is unnecessary. There are no guests here as you can see.

ROSA: Huh?! Then you aren't-

ALKIN: Hm?

ROSA: Wait! Who are you supposed to be?!

ALKIN: It's me- the Head Prefect.

ROSA: ... HUH?!

ALKIN: ?

ROSA: WAITWAITWAITWAIT- THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! THE HEAD PREFECT IS A CAT, ISN'T HE?! THEN-

ALKIN: It's a disguise.

ROSA: Huh?

ALKIN: I suppose that you must have not been aware of it... I am, in fact, not a cat, but a nekomata. A creature that hails from the Far East with the ability to change my appearance at will. Old or young, tall or short - I can assume any form that I desire, provided that I can imagine it. What you see before you is the human form I take when interacting with large crowds. It's easier to talk to you like this since you're more likely to obey.

ROSA: Tha-That sounds kinda ominous...

ALKIN: However, Morgainne... You should have known this, as Prefect of Rosenhex, a dorm that specializes in charms and hexes.

ROSA: URGH- Um, well, I was so caught with preparations for the event and staying in character, hahahaha...

ALKIN: Hm.

ROSA: I-In any case- What do you think of our work, Head Prefect? Isn't it cool?! The vines look just like the real thing, don't they?

ALKIN: Indeed. This is charmed rope, isn't it?

ROSA: Exactly! You have an eye for this sort of thing~ It's actually the same kind of rope that they use for docking boats, so the material is extra rough to the touch! The frays that are shooting out make for the perfect base for thorns and we tied a bunch together and threw them all over the floor to imitate the real thing!

ALKIN: I see- Then the enchantment?

ROSA: It was minimal! We favoured form over function since we merely wanted to give off the illusion of plants rather than the real deal. And this way the environment doesn't get damaged either~

ALKIN: It would have taken quite a long time to get so many together, and they most likely would have dried out as well by the time the tours would have ended.

ROSA: Yep~ I kept everything in mind to make sure it all worked out~ Even Vil said he was impressed by the craftsmanship, hehe!

ALKIN: Ah, the child from Night Raven.

ROSA: We're old friends actually so I got him a ticket to come to visit us today~ Well, he and a bunch of other people came actually... It almost lead to a disaster.

ALKIN: Is that so?

ROSA: Yeah, yeah! Listen - It was a bit out of the blue but the group of people that Vil came with had Jack in it as well. It seems that they made it through really easily thanks to Jack's hearing so they ended up here much faster than I expected. I was in the middle of eating that rhubarb pie that mom brought over and got so startled I dropped some jam on my dress and face! It wasn't so bad because at least it looked like blood but-

When I began to do my act, Jack came over and picked me up to wipe it off me! He had this really pale look on his face until he realized it was just jam then he told me [You should not take jokes so far, Rosalia-sempai]! Hmph! Like he was the older one or something!

Well, at least both Vil and Yuuki praised my performance so that just shows how good of an actress I really am! Isn't that right~?

ALKIN: ... Astra always said that young love tends to be difficult.

ROSA: Huh? What that's supposed to mean?

ALKIN: Nevermind.

SCENE II

ALKIN: It seems that you have kept rather close to the ideals of the dorm when you interpreted the story of the bride and her lover. That is surprising.

ROSA: You think so? Well, to be honest, I just thought that they would fit really well together. The story of the Witch of Roses is one of love as well, isn't it?

ALKIN: Indeed, but I believe it's somewhat different.

ROSA: You think so? The way I see it they're one and the same.

ALKIN: Is that so?

ROSA: Mm! In the end, all the bride wanted was to reunite with her beloved and live happily ever after, but since that couldn't be she decided to join him in the afterlife instead. It's kind of melancholic, but it's the happy end she was hoping for. Same with the Witch!

ALKIN: Oh?

ROSA: I think, in the end, all the Witch wanted was to reunite with Mother Sea but since that couldn't happen she resigned herself to her fate just like the bride did. All they wanted was to be happy in life, but since that wasn't possible for the moment they sought happiness somewhere else.

I like to think that the bride and the Witch were both reunited in the end with their loved ones, even if it's just a childish wish.

ALKIN: Hm.

ROSA: I-Is there something weird about what I said?

ALKIN: No, I was merely contemplating on the innocence of children.

ROSA: CHILDREN?! I know I said it was childish but still- That was too cruel Head Prefect! I think I prefer you in cat form actually.

ALKIN: As I told you before, I am not a cat but a nekomata.

Still, that you hold such childish ideals even now... It is rather charming I would have to say.

ROSA: Somehow I don't think that's true...

SCENE III

ALKIN: Your make-up.

ROSA: Ye-Yes?

ALKIN: It's quite well done. You truly give off the impression of a deceased bride that has mourned her beloved to death.

ROSA: Right~? Actually, it was my mom who did it for me! You see, she's a professional make-up artist who worked on a lot of big movie sets! Her forte is as a SFX make-up artist who specializes in horror movies!

ALKIN: SFX?

ROSA: Special effects! You know the stuff that they pile on the actor that plays the monster to make him look even scarier!

ALKIN: ... Hm, I thought those were the real deal.

ROSA: Wha- No way! Those sort of monsters only exist in fantasy, right? No way would they be real! You're trying to pull my leg, aren't you? Head Prefect?

ALKIN: ...

ROSA: A-Anyway... Since mom heard that we'll be doing this sort of thing, she decided to come over and help us out. Isn't she great?

ALKIN: A warm and welcoming home does often bring up healthy and strong children, that is true.

ROSA: Hm, dunno about strong but my dad always says that I had the health of an ox! A really cute one! I've never caught a cold in my life!

ALKIN: ... There's an old saying... No, never mind. It seems that you have been enjoying yourself today, child.

ROSA: Yeah! It's been really fun, to be honest! Getting to play this scary role and make everybody tremble in fear- I feel like I'm getting closer to my ideal! Hehe, Halloween is really the best!

ALKIN: I see that you are really fond of this human festivity. How curious. Is there something really so enchanting about being haunted and harassed by ghosts?

ROSA: Ha-Harassed... I don't think that's the case, haha. But- I've always liked Halloween since I was a kid! The celebrations in the Rose Kingdom have always been so much fun!

ALKIN: Really?

ROSA: Mm! My mom and dad would usually take me to the funfest that took place in the town plaza and where they would organize all sorts of activities! Like apple bobbing and pumpkin carving!

ALKIN: Hm, what odd activities-

ROSA: They're really fun! My dad is actually a pro at apple bobbing and my mom made the cutest carved pumpkins for me when I was little! I really liked watching her at work. She turns super cool when she'll concentrate like that! My dad would always get soaking wet and get a cold, but I was always fine, you know~

ALKIN: ...

ROSA: Well, I say that but my actual favourite thing to do was nut-cracking!

ALKIN: A new ridiculous thing has appeared.

ROSA: It's not ridiculous at all! It's actually super romantic! You see, nut-cracking is when you place two nuts over the roasting fire and give them names! Then you wait to see which cracks first and that's how you know who your true love is supposed to be!

ALKIN: I see... And then?

ROSA: Then, um, I guess you eat them?

ALKIN: You're unsure?

ROSA: ... Um, truth is... mine... mine never cracked. Even though I only picked Vil's name...

ALKIN: Hm?

ROSA: NE-NEVER MIND! UM! I-I think the next group of people might come up, so-

ALKIN: I hear no footsteps.

ROSA: AAAAAAH, HEAD PREFECT PLEASE GET A CLUE ALREADY!

[door slams]

ALKIN: Hmph, what a strong-willed girl.

... But I suppose that is what a witch should be after all.
