Grace Discovers Literal Jesus | Ship: Graph | WC: 5008 | Prompt: Pride Parade (Alt) / Day: 5 | TWs: Internalized homophobia

“Though, maybe in hindsight she would have been better off speeding up the thinking process.

It’s three days before the GSA fundraiser event, at 11:23 PM, that Grace thuds down the stairs akin to the way a baby elephant stumbles. She throws herself into the living room, panting out breaths and the even worse-for-wear poster clutches in her shaking, sweaty hand.

“Mom,” she breathes out, her mom’s eyes jumping up from the book in her hands to her daughter standing in the doorway. “I need your help making a Jesus Christ drag outfit.”

A giant grin spreads across her face and she leaps up from the sofa, her book and the bookmark that falls to the floor forgotten. “I’m on it!”

HFFF day 2: retro

summary: two different times miss holloway has met webby

title: chiquitita tell me whats wrong ship: hollowebby prompt: retro

It was the night of the 37th annual hatchetfield honey festival and missy holly was getting ready to go onstage. She had been preparing for this for months and she was thrilled.  The honey festival is the biggest thing in hatchetfield if not the entire state screw clivesdales dumb cherry festival who would wanna go to that anyway. This was missy's year she was finally gonna get her music out to the world beyond hatchetfield. Ok yes this is a hatchetfield event but it's THE hatchetfield event and there's gotta be someone here that's gonna hire her. 1982 has been her year! She finally sold some of her shirts most of them to her friends but one person bought it at her set at that new place the slaughtered pig. Shes also written a full albums worth of songs that she played for her friends and they loved it.

“Missy holly your on in 5.”

“Awesome ill be right there!” YES finally here we go missy you can do this you can do this. Missy walks to the backstage area and waits five minutes until she hears her introduction.

“Now welcome to the stage local teenage artist missy holly.”

Missy walks onstage and waves to the crowd. She sees her parents and friends near the front cheering her on. She plays her 20 minute set and everyone seems to love it especially her song ‘run away with me’. She gets lots of applause as she walks off happy and excited for her future. As missy walks away from the event area to see her family and friends a girl runs up to her. She has white hair, pale skin, dark eyes, looks around her age, and hey is that one of her shirts.

“Hi! Im like your biggest fan! Could you sign my shirt?” wait i have fans? Thats crazy!

“Yeah totally! Do you have like a marker or something?”

“Yes here!” the girl hands her a black sharpie and missy signs her name.

“Thanks for coming to the show.”

“It was awesome! I cant wait to see you perform again. I love your song run away with me its so sweet!”

“Thanks ill see you at my next gig.'' At this the girl winks at her and runs off leaving missy smiling at the thought of her biggest fan.

It was the night of the 75th annual hatchetfield honey festival and miss holloway was cleaning up her diner. She didn't really want to go to the festival even though duke invited her. It reminded her of the last time she was truly happy. She made the deal a few rough years later and now shes here lonely even though she has duke, desperate even though she has the diner, and forgotten even though people had loved her. All she has now is this diner and duke but hes bound to forget her again soon. She doesnt even have her own name anymore not that anyone would care if she took it back next time but she doesnt really deserve it does she. She isnt that girl anymore. That girl deserved better than this she deserved the music career she wanted, the person she loved, the family that loved her, and the friends that cared for her. 

While miss holloway is cleaning she hears the bell above the door ring and turns to see a girl about her age. She reminds her of the girl from her last concert. She walks around the counter to grab a menu and seat the guest.

“Welcome to miss retros! Take a seat wherever you'd like.”

The stranger stays silent as they sit and as miss holloway gets them a water. She walks back behind the counter to give the guest a few minutes. As she waits she thinks back to that concert and that girl. She wonders where she is now. Does she have a family? Is she still in hatchetfield? If so could miss holloway find her? But miss holloway is cut from her thoughts when she hears a very familiar song quietly fill her ears. But how? shes the only person that remembers this song. Miss holloway walks up to the girl confused.

“What song is that?”

“You know it dont you miss holloway. has it really been that long?”

“How do you know that song?”

“Oh come on you remember me dont you miss holloway. Or do you want me to call you missy holly.”

“Your not supposed to remember that song… or that name. So tell me how do you remember them?”

“Sit?” the stranger gestures to the other side of the booth motioning for Miss Holloway to sit down. For some reason despite how many different emotions she was feeling, Miss Holloway felt she could trust her and sat down.

“So you gonna explain yourself?”

“Be patient missy im getting there. Anyway i know you know the lords so im gonna skip that question-”

“Wait the lords? Do you mean the lords in black?”

“Duh who did you think i was talking about the lords of the rings.”

“That reference was completely incorrect.”

“Whatever. Anyway, so im there sister.”

“Sister…”

“Yup i'm webby nice to remeet ya!” webby takes miss holloways hand and just holds it. Miss Holloway sits there not necessarily confused cause she's seen a lot of stuff in her many lifes but a bit bewildered.

“So why are you here? And why were you at my concert?”

“Well I was checking to make sure nibbly wasn't causing too much trouble when I heard your music and decided hey that sounds cool so I checked you out and realized something so I thought i'd make myself known in an inconspicuous way.” 

“Ok… why are you here now then?”

“Well uh ive actually been keeping an eye on you but ive been busy so i havent seen you in a while but when i saw how lonely you were i thought id come say hi. Because well you know im the only person who really remembers you so i thought you might want a friend.”

“I have friends.”

“None that truly know you though.” This made Miss Holloway a little sad. Because webby was right none of the people she cared about knew her. The real her. They knew one of her personas. Yes thats still her but none of them know her name, her story, her pain. But now shes sitting with someone who remembers her. Remembers her songs, her life, her name. So she gives it a shot.

“Well webby, feel free to drop by the diner whenever.”

“I will missy i will”

And with that webby is gone and miss holloway is alone again. But now she knows she won't be alone forever. So she waits for the next time. She works and cleans and hopes webby will come back cause shes getting lonely again. But about a week and a half later the white haired goddess returns and takes a seat at a booth and waits for miss holloway. Miss holloway grabs a plate of french fries and walks over to the booth.

“I was starting to think you werent gonna come back webby.”

“Sorry ive been pretty busy.”

“Its fine. French fry?” miss holloway slides the plate over to webby who grabs one hesitantly. As soon as she eats it her face lights up.

“Thats delicious! Can i have more?” miss holloway laughs and smiles properly fro the first time in a long time.

“Go ahead.” webby eats a few more fries before talking again.

“So what you been up to missy?”

“The diner keeps me busy so thats really it. Lifes pretty boring and lonely.”

“Can i ask you something missy?” miss holloway nods for her to continue.

“Can we go on a date?” miss holloway chokes.

“A date?”

“Yeah I heard it's a fun thing humans do and you look like you need to have some fun.”

“Webby a date is something people in a relationship do.”

“Ok so?”

“Well were not you know in a relationship.”

“So were not friends?” webby seems sad at this.

“No we are its just dates are for people in like a romantic relationship and were not.”

“What if we were though?” webby asks quietly looking down at the table. Miss holloway freezes she never thought this ethereal goddess would even know about dating but here she is being asked on a date by the queen of the white. How it would work miss holloway didn't know. what she did know is that she has felt so alone for so long and that having someone who actually knew her could make her feel a little less sad and a little more alive. Besides how could she say no to a literal queen.

“I think we could do it if we tried.”

“So is that a yes missy holly?”

“It is indeed webby.” webby smiles a plants a kiss on miss holloways cheeks. Miss holloway welcomes the affection her cheeks flush red and she turns to webby. They look into each others eyes both feeling more alive than they have in ages.

Face it, you want to be the disgusting biohazard you've become. You want to ruin your body even more than this judging by all the experimental weight gain supplements and laxatives you've been popping bottles of like candy causing your body to get worse and more slimy...

*It's not MY fault hfff the only sponsors that have wanted my endorsements lately are mostly BOOUUUARP shady experimental pharmaceutical companies! It's my DUTY hfffff to them like the contract says to take the recommended doses UUORP daily and make at least 3 posts hfffff hff about them daily! Besides it's only a 5 year contract.

*He's acting like he can't just life comfortably off royalties and TOTALLY NEEDS the money from these contracts. You just know it's mostly payment in pills too with a tiny commission for every social media post. He's downed another handful of SlobLax again, causing that abused gut to roar in protest. It's never quiet even without doses of who knows what getting pumped in multiple times a day. The representative, who comes over a couple times a month to track his progress (mostly in poloroid photograph form strangely enough) has told him multiple times the bloated slimy donut of an asshole from the SlobLax and the thickened sweat from the Gro-U tablets are just temporary side effects. He's of course been saying that for the past year.

If LU was an anime (VA headcanons)

Okay so! A while back I uploaded a video (which you can find here) giving the LU boys voice actors. And in the description of said video, I promised that I was going to post a list of explanations for my voices and link it. Which I am only doing now.

These choices, bar a few, are my own personal opinion, so I'd love to hear your thoughts about them! I spent far to long working and watching anime for this but I am pretty happy with the end result, bar one (glares at Four). So I hope you enjoy! And prepare yourself. Cause this is LONG.

Legend - Vic Mignoga (Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

So fun fact. Back when I first discovered LU, I almost immediately imaged Leg with this voice. He had strong Ed vibes for me and when I started making this list, he was the only one I immediately knew was perfect. At least to me. It just has that quality; the snark with the capability of being genuine and emotional (I do apologise if the voice clips I included in the video made you sad. That's a hazard of FMA). I didn't consider anyone else for Legend, even though I did briefly consider Vic Mignoga for Warriors (more on that later).

Sky - Aleks Le (Zenitsu Agatsuma from Demon Slayer)

Man, I considered a fair few KnY voices for this list, including the voice of Tanjiro for Wild and the voice of Giyu for Twilight. But this is the one that stuck. I was struck between Sky having a youthful, soft voice or an older, soft voice (I knew his voice had to be soft. I mean. It's Sky.)

I watched the dub of Demon Slayer solely for this and it never would've occurred to me to consider Zenitsu's voice for Sky. But as the show progressed and I heard it when he wasn't... you know... begging some poor lass to marry him, I realised he actually has quite a soft voice. And when I heard it get all serious I thought "Yep. That works." And thus I placed Aleks Le as the Chosen Hero. You could argue that his voice is a bit too youthful for him but I still think it works.

Wind - Amanda Miller (Boruto from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations)

Ugh. Ugh. *increasing sounds of disgust*. I hate this.

But let's start from the beginning. Right off the bat, I was 99.9% sure Wind would be voiced by a woman. Okay so he's not 10 (that will make more sense in a second), but he's still pretty young and I imagine him with quite a youthful voice. For him, I considered Sarah Natochenny, the current voice of Ash Ketchum in Pokémon, and also Colleen Clickenbeard's voice for Monkey D. Luffy in One Piece. But these two voices shared the same problem. They were too raspy. I just cannot see Wind with a raspy voice. I guess if you really, really, really focus on it it could work but I just could get it to work for me hfff.

And then... ugh. I spoke to a mate about. He doesn't know about LU so I just told him I was making voice headcanons and couldn't think of a good one for a 14 year old boy. And he said "have you heard Boruto's English voice?" And I think my response was something along the lines of, "Ben, I have standards." But he insisted it would probably work so I watched a clip of Boruto on YouTube and much to my horror, it did seem to work. But there was problem. None of the clips had lines I could picture Wind saying. And because of that I was struggling to actually give Wind the voice. But something told me that it was the right one so... I... *shudders*... watched Boruto. I watched I think 5 full episodes before I had no more braincells and skipped thorough a bunch more and sure enough, I could finally see Wind with that voice. I think it fits him great and it honestly might be my favourite choice just because I had to watch that nightmare.

Hyrule - Justin Briner (Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia)

Ah. This one is much more pleasant. First of all, I never realised this at first but Midoriya and Hyrule are kind of similar. For one thing, they do kinda look alike. And for another they have the same "I will never give up" kinda thing going on.

Roolie is another one I knew would have a soft voice. I think Justin Briner was always down as a choice for him, except for when I briefly considered him for Four (more on that later *big sigh*). This is another anime I watched the dub for solely for this and there were a ton of lines right from the get go I could instantly imagine Roolie saying. So yeah. Aside from the tiny moment I almost assigned Justin Briner to Four, this was a pretty easy one. Midoriya has a soft voice that I could easily imagine Hyrule having. And when he got angry and his voice got harsher, I could also easily see Roolie like that too. Fun fact: there's another BNHA voice on this list... heh.

Wild - Michael Sinternklaas (Dagger from Black Butler)

AW YEAH. YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH BRITISH BOI.

Ahem. Anyway. Yes Wild is British. Everyone rejoice. I was unsure of how people would react to this but I think this is the only voice on the list everyone agreed on. Which I'm happy about.

As I mentioned, I considered the English voice of Tanjiro (Zach Aguilar) for Wild. There were issues with this; mainly that it was too soft, too young, and made him sound too similar to Sky. Now here's the thing. I WANTED to give Wild a English accent. I am almost certain he would have one, like most people. However the only anime I could think of with decent English accents was Black Butler (and yes I know his final voice is from it, bear with me) and there was a problem with that. Most of the voices from Black Butler are ridiculously posh. Now you may be thinking "But Kai, Zelda has a posh English accent" and to that I would say "Ah yes but she's a princess and Wild is not". And now you might be thinking "But Kai, he's a knight an probably spent a lot of time in a place with posh English accents". To which I would say "But he wasn't always". Two words. Hateno Village.

Let me explain.

I feel like a lot of people hear the words 'English accent' and immediately think of an accent like Zelda's (and no, I am not saying everyone does and I'm also not implying that there aren't people out there who aren't British and know that there are multiple accents). Anyway, English accents are different depending on the place. And, since one can assume Wild is from Hateno Village, I would imagine their accent is different to that of those born in Castle Town. So that's why I was reluctant to give Wild a voice from Black Butler. Because all the voices that weren't insanely fancy were either far too old or did not have the right vibe.

Then one day, taking a break from this, I was watching season 3 of Black Butler (one of the only anime I watch dubbed) and I heard two voices that I suddenly thought, hang on just a second. One of those was the voice of Ronald Knox, who's a grim reaper. And the other, of course, was Dagger. I was leaning towards Dagger and what sold me was one scene in particular, which I chose as the final voice clip for Wild (you cannot tell me that is not exactly something he would say). And that was it. But Wild's was easily one of the most frustrating (not the most *glares at Four again*).

Time - David Matranga (The Father from Wolf Children)

Another tough one and also one I heavily considered for Twilight (for obvious reasons). Time's was kind of tricky because I knew I wanted it to be deep but there's such of variety of deep voices. At one point I even considered dumping the deep voice idea because it was so hard. It was a this time I thought of the voice of space cowboy extraordinaire, Spike Spiegel. But my brain said "hell no". There were other voices I considered for him, loads of which I cannot find the notes for and another one which will likely appear in part two as another character (no spoilers), but when I was picking a voice for Twi, some of the lines the father said just kept ringing big old Time vibes with me. So in the end, I decided to for it. Like I said, I imagine time with a deep voice and while to father's might be a bit more... gravelly (?) than I imagined, I think it fits him pretty well. It's serious and mature but still a certain kindness I'd imagine Time's voice to have.

Warriors - Johnny Yong Bosch (Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach)

Don't lie. You knew Johnny Yong Bosch was gonna be on here and not just because I put his name (albeit spelled incorrectly) in the thumbnail. When I started making this, I knew I wanted to fit JYB into it. In my mind, LU would be an amazing anime and almost all amazing anime have Johnny Yong Bosch in it.

Now, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out whether he would be better for Wars or Twi. At one point I was convinced he would be best for Twi and that's when I briefly thought about Vic Mignoga for Warriors (his voice for Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club. Don't tell me Tamaki and Wars aren't at least a tiny bit similar). But I could bear to part with Vic for Legend so I decided heck it, Johnny is Warriors and I'll find someone else for Twi later. As for the voice in particular, the two voices I considered for Twi definitely did not fit Wars. And then I remembered Bleach and immediately I thought "Yep. That's the one". I imagine Warriors having an authoritative voice, not too deep and very... uh... I don't know the right word. Clean sounding? Anyway, Ichigo just seemed to fit nicely and thus it was so.

Four - Micah Solusod (Yukine from Noragamai)

Ugh. UGH. Okay. This is my least favourite. Four was, excuse my French, A FUCKING NIGHTMARES. There was not ONE SINGLE VOICE that seemed to work for him at all. I watched a bit of the Noragmai dub because I was thinking about Yato's voice for someone (I can't remember who. It might have been Wild) and I heard Yukine's and decided to put it into reserve. As in, my last resort. And I had to use it. Oh my god Four. I love you but your voice is literally a nightmare. Is it high? Is it low? Is it young sounding? Surprisingly grown up sounding? I DON'T FREAKING KNOW.

I mentioned earlier that I considered Justin Briner for him. I was thinking about his voice for Luck from Black Clover, which may have honestly worked a bit better, but I was pretty attached to Justin as Roolie by this point. So I had to whip out Micah.

Let me be clear. No, I do not think this works well at all. I appreciate the people who tried to see that good in it, but I honestly just don't think it works. The only reason I went for it is because Yukine's voice switches between older sounding and younger sounding throughout the show and since I could decide what Four's would sound like I said to myself "Fine. Four can be the same", found some clips, slapped it together and never looked back.

I am still looking for another voice for Four and if I find a decent one, I will include it in part two.

And last but not least...

Twilight - Aaron Mitchell Dismuke (Tamaki Amajiki - My Hero Academia)

Told ya there was another BHNA voice.

So Twi was another tricky one. As I mentioned, I was seriously considering Johnny Yong Bosch for him. More specifically, his voices for Giyu Tomioka from Demon Slayer and Kiba from Wolf's Rain (for obvious reasons). I did almost go for Kiba but something was stopping me. I'm honestly not sure what.

So I was talking to a mate (and by that I mean I rambled. A lot) about VA's and at one point he suggested Aaron Mitchell Dismuke but not for Twilight. I can't actually remember who he suggested it for but anyway, that didn't work out. But when I was looking through his work, I saw that we played Amajiki and I was curious. I listened to him and I liked it.

Okay to be fair I wanted a country accent for Twi. Of course I did. But I could not a find a decent one. They few I found were absolutely terrible. So I gave up on that and decided that was Amajiki. And that was that.

And that concludes the Links VA headcanons! I am happy with most of them and once more these are my opinion but I would love to hear your own ideas!

As I have said many times, I am working on a part two and as a sneak peak (sort of) I'll tell you two of the characters that will be featured (excluding Four, if I find him another voice).

Dink (even though he hasn't, technically shown up yet) and Malon (which is proving to be a lot tricker than I thought). There a couple more but my lips are sealed heh.

Oh and speaking of Dink, the voice I considered for Time and then thought it would be better for someone else? Yeah that's the voice that's currently in the lead to be Dink's :)

I hope enjoyed my long winded explanations! And thank you for reading/watching!

🍔 Claire or Lila?

Claire doesn't even notice themself constantly snacking out of boredom. After absentmindedly stuffing themself with candy, Claire is 970 lbs heavier than before. It's hard for them to move and they're embarrassed by their belly. They try to work it off, but they can barely do a sit-up and they wheeze after just walking 5 feet.

Really slow days drag on, and when no customers come by to the bakery, someone has to deal with the leftovers. Granted, some can be stored away in stasis bubbles, but... well, snacking starts to really take a toll on someone that doesn’t have the strongest metabolism unless they buff it with magic. “Hff... hfff... g-gonna have to... get things widened again...” And working it off is tough when you just use your power to float around instead.

“Oh.” Alice nods, breathless. “...do you think this is a bad idea?”

“Probably,” Lex agrees, and yet neither of them make a move to untangle themselves. “Do you want to stop?”

For a long moment Alice is silent in thought. She drapes her arm across Lex’s shoulders, which is an answer enough, but she says, “no, I really don’t,” anyway. All breathy and too attractive for Lex to handle.

There’s a beat. Another moment of silence. “Me neither.”

Alice drags her back with the squeeze of her arm around Lex’s shoulders, crushing them together.

Is this even as big a deal as she thinks it is?

okay, I absolutely Gotta do my elliptical daily or very close to it lol

I took a few days off (like, 5 and not totally in a row, and with 2 decent walks in the mix!!) and that was already enough to set me back significantly. This is really a "use it or lose it" scenario with my body and I'm appreciating that more and more.

Hfff. It's tough. I wish I could take breaks, but I think this is just how it is.

I definitely don't want to be back where I was in December if I can help it at all.

ItsyBitsySpyers 6:10 pm [[Good, good.]] Tarantulas 6:10 pm *wastes no time snuggling in* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:11 pm ((lemme know when ur both ready)) FakeProwl 6:12 pm ((ready!)) Tarantulas 6:19 pm (( ready *thumbs up* (( ur cursor's on the screen ItsyBitsySpyers 6:21 pm *Will lean up against the nearest person to him. Or, if he is sandwiched in the middle, sort of manage a calves one way and shoulders the other deal. Whichever.* FakeProwl 6:22 pm *he's definitely got prowl on one side* ((i like how she handles that)) Tarantulas 6:22 pm *prowl's in the middle!* FakeProwl 6:23 pm ((like oh i don't like this *quickly and silently shoves it under the bed with no change in facial expression*)) ItsyBitsySpyers 6:23 pm *In that case, leaned up on Prowl.*

((eheheh)) Tarantulas 6:24 pm (( "threat ganglia" so cute FakeProwl 6:24 pm ((his wiggly danger hair)) ItsyBitsySpyers 6:24 pm [[He must be a terrible liar.]] Tarantulas 6:26 pm Oooooh. /Ooooooh./ ItsyBitsySpyers 6:27 pm *Only SOME of the deadliest weapons. Nobody's taken the wits and tongues of these three mechs and shelved them.* [[Enjoying your better look?]] Tarantulas 6:28 pm Quite. And the mission assigned to her as well. FakeProwl 6:28 pm *leans his shoulder against soundwave's shoulder, and slides his hip against tarantulas's hip* Tarantulas 6:29 pm *shh, before prowl can do that, tarantulas swings his legs up over the two of their laps* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:29 pm *HFFF heavy.* FakeProwl 6:29 pm *ooh, even better.* Tarantulas 6:29 pm *not THAT heavy. although u do get the pedes* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:29 pm *He's gonna have to get used to that. They're not as light as they seem.* Tarantulas 6:30 pm *hff. they ate the captain? nice touch.* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:30 pm *But! Same treatment he gave Prowl yesterday - pre-knee crunching, of course - because he's feeling mildly generous.* FakeProwl 6:31 pm *... thigh fur. he's getting his hands in that.* Tarantulas 6:31 pm *churr, this was a good idea* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:31 pm *Feel free to have all the fur. Soundwave's better with metal.* Tarantulas 6:31 pm *wiggles his toes* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:32 pm [["Tactics".]] Tarantulas 6:33 pm *eee, smol noise. tardigrades are cute* Tarantulas 6:34 pm *just like the cute ripper* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:36 pm *The large version is interesting enough. He still prefers other Earth creatures.* Tarantulas 6:39 pm A race of technologies. Wonderful! ItsyBitsySpyers 6:39 pm [[He takes it you would enjoy - or have enjoyed - such pressures.]] Tarantulas 6:39 pm Of course. *visor smile* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:40 pm [[And have you ever erred that badly?]] *Gesture to screen.* Tarantulas 6:41 pm Of course. *visor quirks also* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:41 pm [[Do tell.]] Tarantulas 6:41 pm Another time, maybe. *snorts* Tarantulas 6:43 pm *remembers that one time he joked with prowl about deactivating parts of his processor for shutting down rationality in favor of creativity* Tarantulas 6:45 pm It's so /precious/! ItsyBitsySpyers 6:46 pm *Huffs. He feels like he ought have been surprised by that reaction but he absolutely isn't.* ItsyBitsySpyers 6:47 pm *Ah... the good flirting.* FakeProwl 6:47 pm Not too precious, I hope. I'm just getting used to the fur and legs. *he says, as though he hasn't been eagerly digging into the fur for months.* Tarantulas 6:48 pm *snicker* Don't you fret, I'm not changing frames anytime soon. ...A few mods, though, might be in the works. FakeProwl 6:49 pm Oh? Any you can share? Tarantulas 6:49 pm Not inspired by this, though. And... another time, hyeh. Tarantulas 6:50 pm *he likes michael more and more now* FakeProwl 6:51 pm ... She would have done better if she had either not told him why he was there, or else not included the apology. Tarantulas 6:52 pm *happy bouncing* FakeProwl 6:52 pm If she had told him that she'd invited him there to see if he instinctively registered the creature as a threat, he wouldn't have been annoyed—or would have been less annoyed, at least. Or—if she had apologized to him, and then let him leave, he would have been pleased, and left, and had no reason to suspect that it was a ruse. Tarantulas 6:54 pm The former: it wouldn't be a genuine reaction. The latter: he's too insightful to let her get away with that for too long. FakeProwl 6:54 pm Even if her apology was sincere—and there's a considerable probability that it was, because there was no reason for her to use that specific message once she'd lured him to the lab—she has undermined his ability to trust it. Of course it would have been a genuine reaction. All he had to do was walk in the room. Tarantulas 6:55 pm We don't know how the threat ganglia work - if they're entirely instinctively physically activated or not. FakeProwl 6:56 pm And on the other hand, she didn't have to get away with it for too long. Just long enough for him to walk out of the room. Tarantulas 6:56 pm But the undermining of the trust would have come later when he figured out she was lying, potentially. FakeProwl 6:56 pm Obviously they are instinctively physically activated, or else she wouldn't have expected that they might instinctively physically activate in a predator's presence, such that their non-activation convinced her that it WASN'T a predator. ItsyBitsySpyers 6:57 pm [[They activated before the prison transport departed. He seemed either alarmed or confused by it.]] Tarantulas 6:57 pm What I mean to say - the reaction could be suppressed if it was anticipated. FakeProwl 6:59 pm Why would he need to anticipate it. Comm him, say "I need you to come down to the lab for a minute," when he gets there, immediately observe his ganglia, when he asks "what's this about?" then give an honest answer. Tarantulas 6:59 pm I like her choice better, it has a higher chance of success and accuracy. FakeProwl 7:00 pm I disagree. Tarantulas 7:00 pm You're allowed to. *visor quirk* Tarantulas 7:03 pm *soft crooning, poor thing* Tarantulas 7:05 pm Hff. She didn't tame it, it /was/ tame. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:05 pm [[You know how most sentient beings are. If something doesn't immediately follow their orders, it must be a threat.]] FakeProwl 7:05 pm Everyone around her seems quite keen to give her credit for a great many things she didn't do. Starting the war, taming the creature... Tarantulas 7:06 pm An awful burden, that. But what's this... FakeProwl 7:06 pm Hahh. Yes. It is. Tarantulas 7:07 pm *nuzzles* FakeProwl 7:07 pm *what no don't do that, it means Prowl said too much.* Tarantulas 7:08 pm *tarantulas is a smart cookie, sorry prowl* *also, that telescope gives tarantulas an idea, he'll pocket it* FakeProwl 7:09 pm *that doesn't mean he has to put on... pity-displays. if he's putting on pity-displays then Prowl said things he shouldn't.* Tarantulas 7:10 pm *it's not a pity display, it's an acknowledgement. prowl's attributing something to tarantulas that he doesn't possess - much like people were misplacing credit with michael, eh?* Tarantulas 7:11 pm So Bevel will be showing the next installment later? ItsyBitsySpyers 7:12 pm [[Yes. Tonight, if all goes well.]] Tarantulas 7:12 pm What is"all"? ItsyBitsySpyers 7:13 pm [[These records do not secure themselves.]] [[If Bevel can acquire them and return in time, we will see them.]] Tarantulas 7:14 pm Ah, I see. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:15 pm [[At a location of her choosing, of course, not here. She IS the host.]] FakeProwl 7:15 pm I'll be there if it's early enough. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:16 pm *Nods.* Tarantulas 7:16 pm Hmm - is this location free until that time, do you think? Or ought Prowl and I relocate until Bevel's gathering? *leans in and wraps his arms around prowl - that's his way of asking prowl if he can snatch him up* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:18 pm *Soundwave tilts his helm back to look up at Prowl.*

@P: [[...Are you able to keep an optic on Tarantulas if he moves upstairs to gather more rest? He does not want Tarantulas going anywhere he shouldn't.]] FakeProwl 7:20 pm @Soundwave «... I'll talk him into relocating.» *He thinks he CAN keep an optic on Tarantulas, but there's really no point in risking it when there's no reason for them to stay here.* ItsyBitsySpyers 7:20 pm @Prowl: [[Acknowledged.]] FakeProwl 7:20 pm *leans a tad harder on Soundwave for a moment, before letting Tarantulas bundle him up.* You've been trying to drag me back to your lab for the past couple of movie nights, why don't we go there? ItsyBitsySpyers 7:22 pm *Steals the extra lean while he can.* Tarantulas 7:22 pm *no convincing required* Quite amenable. FakeProwl 7:22 pm *didn't think so.* Tarantulas 7:24 pm Meet me there, hm? FakeProwl 7:25 pm All right. Two minutes. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:25 pm *Well. That was easier than he expected.* *Probably because Prowl suggested it and not him.* Tarantulas 7:26 pm *nono, tarantulas would rather pull prowl onto his own turf* *turns to sw* I assume you're coming to the gathering as well? If so, I'll see you then. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:27 pm [[Oh, yes. This timeline is of some interest to him.]] [[Enjoy yourselves til then.]] FakeProwl 7:28 pm I'm sure we will. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:28 pm [[...But not /too/ well. He'd hate for you to miss it.]] *Huff huff.* Tarantulas 7:29 pm I'm invested enough as well so as not to be /too/ late, hyeh. FakeProwl 7:29 pm I think we can exercise a little self-restraint. ItsyBitsySpyers 7:29 pm *If it goes on and you MUST be late, at least bring him some records of it.* *Soundwave nods and, getting up with a stretch, heads toward the stairs one plodding step at a time.* Tarantulas 7:30 pm *if they do get up to something? sure. but soundwave will have to ask nicely* FakeProwl 7:31 pm *And will wait for Tarantulas to depart before following.* Tarantulas 7:31 pm *a bump-smooch, and tarantulas visor-smiles before he's bridging out* FakeProwl 7:32 pm *A couple of minutes, and his avatar flickers out, to flicker back on in Tarantulas's lab.*
