#holy shit i know how to spell psychic

[x-manson-annotated]

X-Manson Annotated Chapter 5 - Part One: INFILTRATORS.

Holy shit, the final chapter. This is where I really like a lot of concepts. The Avengers make a proper appearance and everyone's favorite sapphic Carol Danvers has a shitty time. See the reblogged version for the rest of it, since Tumblr has a limit on only 30 images.

If i'm not mistaken, this places the year that Kitty is watching the documentary as 2000 whereas before it said "Present Day" or "Today" . This places Kitty and Dani at probably 23 and 26 respectively.

**Dwight Hammer, like all cops is a goddamn moron.

Paid Schill.

1999 the y ear of the raid? Xavier's psychics forcing people to confess to murders that they didn't commit?

*I'm not sure if Dolores is a reference to someone special or just a filler character.

**I don't know why the spelling of her name with the 'e'. I've looked at multiple versions of the story and that detail remains in all of them.

**ALIENS EXIST IN THE CULT AU.

Motherfucking Carol Danvers!

*I'm not totally sure if that's something Supergirl used to be like.

** Rogue. I'm not sure who the intelligence agency is, since SHIELD seems to be a known quantity in the world.

*** That isn't really a thing she's known for either.

*Carole uses that very insistent phrase "the Kree that fucked me up". In the comics, she gained her abilities from an explosion that mixed her DNA with Mahr-Vel. So, is it possible in this au the Kree intentionally experimented on her?

**Pretty green eyes convince Carole Danvers that Rogue isn't a tech. Gay as hell behavior, champ.

***Further gay behavior. Much less traumatic loss of her powers as opposed to what happened to her in the comics.

*This is referencing her lesbianism within the story. I don't know if this is Benway's potentially homophobic perspective on Carole's sexuality, or if it's meant to be a purely in-universe sense of present homophobia.

Rogue's Mom, Destiny is being a cryptic old biddy. She's present twice the story, but Mystique isn't. Maybe she died a while back after some encounter with the cult, resulting in Rogue being sent in as an agent. But, that's just my headcanon.

*See.

**Rogue gave Carole a type.

**Why didn't she decay? Because of Carole's powers?

***Destiny was able to see that Carole was going to fuck her shit up by kissing Rogue's corpse, but not that Rogue would get murdered? Like, c'mon, that's your daughter.

*I might be right.

**I'm so fucking sick of Vance taking every single incorrect lesson from his life. Of course, she was angry, Vance. She was in near-constant pain, you unbearable prick.

***Probably doesn't help that she was being cryptic about what happened.

*I still love how angry he is with American spy agencies.

*Possibly this universe's version of Freedom Force?

Xavier loaning out cult members for odd jobs?

*Sorry HOXPOX fans, Moira isn't a mutant.

**So that's where they're potentially filling up their ranks?

***My immediate thought was Gambit both because of the title and the New Orleans connection. This might also be Amahl Farouk, who has a history of employing pickpockets, but he was based in Egypt. Though, I don't want to discount him totally because of my biased headcanon.

*Tracking the cult's activity from the ground up. But, how is the cult going to all of these places constantly? How far spread are they outside of Westchester?

** Nice to know that Black Tom exists in this au. Hope he and Cain have a summer cottage together somewhere on the coast where they can grow old together, far away from any of this cult horseshit.

Spain

Morocco

Romania

Hungary

Yugoslavia

Westchester, New York.

So, Sean was likely trying to infiltrate them after making contact in Yugoslavia and then ended up being inducted into the cult, proper.

That is so goddamn scary it's unreal.

*was their a psi on the isles manipulating the local Interpol agents? Can Xavier or Cable stretch their influence that far?

*Rahne Sinclair

*I just now noticed that Terry in this story is eleven. My god. That's an especially horrifying ordeal at that age.

*if Sean was pleading, it's possible that either they didn't have him under psychic control yet (not coring him) or the distance allowed the connection to break. But who else is with Logan that's coercing Sean into action?

*She could tell almost immediately that Rahne was a mutant and not some kind of freakish dog.

The river to confuse Logan's tracking ability?

*Rahne's home in the woods.

*They don't see her transform in the dark, but she can take on a human or at least human adjacent shape. Rahne Sinclair is a saint.

First Voice, Unknown.

Second Voice, Logan.

*My first instinct was that this is Sean, but Moira would have clarified if it were. Maybe it's Cable or Piotr?

**Rahne can take on a human shape, but is functionally feral and cant understand human language.

*Logan's voice again.

**Cars everywhere. Some of them look burned. Sunfire? Is the second voice Sunfire?

*Christ alive, they massacred ten whole police officers and special forces agents.

Logan sticking around to threaten the family by leaving shreadded vehicles around? Why not murder them?

[maskedteaser]

hii i just saw the rdr2 matchups you did and i love them AND HOLY SHIT APEX FAN‼️‼️ i love how detailed you are!! love your writing!! so if ur not too overwhelmed with requests id like to make one :3 and honestly if ur doing matchups for apex id love that too there's so little apex ffs, especially x reader </3 no pressure tho!!

anyways as for me. uhh. i don't use labels (aside from being asexual) but am pretty masculine in gender, and my love is for any gender. my pronouns are he/him :3

more about me,, im vegetarian, my favorite animal is the octopus, im chronically ill & disabled, which means i have chronic pain and have pretty bad sleep (literally writing this at 10 am after not being able to sleep all night) but despite that i have a weird paradox where i am kinda strong? like i can pick ppl up. but can't have much activity for a long time lest i cast spell 200 bpm on myself. but for the sake of the ff i could totally bench press arthur morgans 180lb of pure muscle. its true <3

in apex i main wattson and bloodhound! but i also like crypto, octane ofc (who doesn't), loba, and... im sorry.. wraith 😭 i got wattsons heirloom after. a very long time of opening packs AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH no regrets!! french girl with giant nessie plush!!!!! tho i haven't played in forever (and honestly may keep it that way with how much they're nerfing bloodhound.. like.. c'mon man.. not my main.. they've already been nerfed so much 😭)

i recently started playing rdr2 cause im visiting family that has it (theres actually been a lot of funny stories being on an unfamiliar console, like playing 22+ hours and reaching chap 2 without knowing how to save.. and i didnt know how to tell arthurs weight so i kept him underweight for so long my poor starving man </3) after playing rdr1 quite a bit. i also vibed with john hard in 1 but i lowkey thought he was an angsty young adult in rdr2 and not a FATHER. my favs are arthur and javier tho i can barely see the latter cause where tf is he on the map?? same with charles where IS HE??? but anyways i also vibe so hard with kieran.

tho i could talk forever about my interests, other than that for personality: id describe myself as actually kinda confident around strangers, i love to compliment ppl i come across. for friends, much of the same, i like using improv as humor if that makes sense, ive been told im easy to talk to, i consider myself intuitive (also contributed to me being a tarot reader i believe), but i am the type to have a veeerryy hard time expressing negative feelings im having, and never crying in front of people, so no shortage of bottling emotions. im also rather rigid on cleanliness and WILL start tweaking if me/my space goes too long w/o cleaning. i really, really care about people (i would want to be a paramedic!! if my body could allow it..) and i so want to make peoples lives better!! but also can rather easily stop people from walking over me, should they try. i care about kids a lot, and get very peeved when other ppl dont know how kids brains work and mistreat them because of such, and cause they just have no respect for children. honestly with thinking like.. about formulating matchmaking requests i never really seem to think about what id want out of a person. honestly, just when someone cares (wow, such high standards) but should the time come, mmmost times im not afraid to make a selfish ask. most. maybe. sometimes. and im very, very empathetic and it SUCKS i take psychic damage every time someone even remotely, even HYPOTHETICALLY feels bad. this is not a virtue.

for hobbies, i like to play video games as you may have guessed, i also like to read (non fiction, classic lit and danmeis especially), make art of all kinds but mainly physical sketches, and im always looking to add more shows/movies to my watched list.

i love to visit restaurants and cafes and interesting places surrounding food!!! my idea of a good time is eating with people, even if its in a crappy chuck e cheese. i love to try new foods (but it's a bit hard since becoming vegetarian), and i love matcha! i also love visiting just interesting places in general. why go to disney when you can see a beautiful spot in nature, or an art exhibit, or a park, or just the lively downtown? but other than that, i love my dedicated space 💗

i dont like rude people. mean people. people mean to kids and animals. bigots. assholes. any synonym for that. but honestly, not much else. there are other things that sure tick me off but can be pretty easily taken care of or compromised for.

i hope i didnt write a damn essay. half of it was geeking out over interests but. im guessing the brainrot is shared. but thank you so much for even reading my request this far!! (*˘︶˘*)

hii! sure thing! i love doing matchups especially when you guys give me lots of details :) let's get to it :) THIS IS NOT PROOFREAD!!! I'M REALLY SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKES!!!

okay, first things first - let me tell you why I didn't choose other characters :)

❝ im chronically ill & disabled, which means i have chronic pain and have pretty bad sleep ❞

Well, I need to be honest with you, I believe that despite your strenght, REVENANT would just make fun of your disability, he would NOT care at all, he'd probably pick on you and be REALLY rude. I hope it's not offensive (i'm sorry if i'm insensitive, it's not my intention), but I know he'd want to offend you. You could actually have a good hate-ship (if you know what i mean), where the only thing you guys do is fight with each other but I don't think that's what you want.

❝ im also rather rigid on cleanliness and WILL start tweaking if me/my space goes too long w/o cleaning. ❞

I'm sorry, have you seen OCTANE'S room? Let me remind you of that...

Can you see what is happening on his floor? This guy would probably drive you insane with how messy he is and I know he wouldn't care if you tried to ask him to clean it up... It would probably lead to many arguments and fights between you :(

❝and im very, very empathetic and it SUCKS i take psychic damage every time someone even remotely, even HYPOTHETICALLY feels bad. this is not a virtue. ❞

I have this feeling that Loba would see you as an easy target to manipulate, she'd think that she could use you after seeing that you feel really bad when someone feels bad, so she'd probably talk about her past a lot around you - trying to make you feel like you need to help her with everything. I doubt that it could work out :( I hope you see my vision and I'm not weirdly delusional with my ideas.

BUT NOW FOR A RESULT... (NGL I HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS ONE SINCE YOU SEEM TO BE A GOOD MATCH FOR AT LEAST 2 LEGENDS, BUT I DECIDED TO PICK...)

VANTAGE

I feel like you and Vantage could have a really good relationship! You both seem to aim high with your ideals and I just think that you both are really empathetic, a little bit emotional even... You share the love for animals. She has her Echo and she'd probably die for him. Vantage would never let any animal be mistreated when she's watching.

" why go to disney when you can see a beautiful spot in nature, or an art exhibit, or a park, or just the lively downtown? " - I think she thinks exactly the same! She seems to be a big fan of nature and she is an explorer. Born on a cold planet where everything wanted to kill her, she knows that nature can both be beautiful and deadly. She is also really nice, and I think that when she gets closer to someone, she actually CARES, like...A LOT. You'd probably be treated really well. I think that Vantage would be really patient when it comes to you and expressing your feelings, she'd never let you just walk away if she saw that you were upset, I think that communication and trust is a priority in every relationship.

She'd listen to you when you tell her that you have chronic pain and she'd do exactly the things you ask her to do, always trying her best to help you and she'd make sure you're not pushing yourself too hard.

Thank you for reading 👽👽👽

[genderlesssinner]

Alright nerds I'm back

Here we go with 108

SAMUEL we are 3 minutes into this episode. Holy shit.

Some weird shit going on with the gaurds okay okay

It's Ira isn't it

He's so creepy and I love it

How did no one react to "tying up daddy and gagging him" holy shit Tal

Sometimes I love watching with subtitles for the description of their fuckery. [Batman's Bane nonsense]

Ashton hold on what do you mean by take care of this

7th fucking level Psychic Lance woof. Talk about burn all your stuff

Yeah no he ded

Well this could go so poorly

"Did this just completely backfire?" Yes yes it did

Okay okay maybe we're not totally fucked

Hopefully Nana can help. Okay so gonna have some flying groups? I def agree that Nana should meet up in case Gloamglut does come back

An hour, short rest it up bitches

I can't help but picture the temple put back together with gold in the cracks, like that one method of fixing pottery

The 'play' idea isn't a bad idea I just don't know if these chucklefucks can pull it off

I love Robbie so much. Gaes is a badass spell when it works and I also do not know how tf to pronounce it

They've been talking for like 20 minutes and I still don't know what they're doing great job guys

"You knocked him out. I just wanted them to do the scene." beautiful

Oh my god.

Ash playing director for these idiot is hilarious

Oh fuck okay well shit Zathuda is gone okay okay okay but Laudna knows where he is

Back in initiative and everyone is tapped or close to it,,,, grrreaaat

Get his ass Chet he can't have many hit points

Yeeeep there's the dragon

Okay if they *just* got the short rest Nana should be here soon RIGHT??

Oooh shit okay Zathuda is dead um this is gonna have consequences Gloamglut is bout to be real mad I bet

Yeah mhm okay

Yes Fearne get the dragon GET YOUR PONY BOO

Ashley just became Mister for a second 😂😂

This could be good or it could make it worse

Oh no he saaaddd 🥺

Dorian is like nope not ready for the dragon

Yeessss Fearnie

The little guys are gonna have shaken baby syndrome from being in the dragon's hands while he's flying

Come on, horse girl!

Break! We have a fucken dragon boys. For the moment, anyway.

Back into it - flying to Nana's

Ooh interesting Gloamglut doesn't wanna land at Morri's

Oop Nana put Gloamglut on a leash

What does the Loom do what. Nana.

I definitely think they should ask Zathuda some things. They could ask about bonding to Gloamglut and also about moon stuff

Ooohhh Nana really has it for Ira huh. Spooky

I wanna see the Loom. That did not answer any questions.

This should be interesting and maybe (likely) scary

Mhmhm gruesome but also cool af

Ashley and Marisha grinning while everyone else is in various stages of horror is great

Okay look I get them checking in with Fearne vecause the guy was her father.. But like. She didn't really know him. Like someone said a bit ago, he was her father, not her dad. And yes she's lost the opportunity to know him but it's not like she lost a parent that raised her.

"It's not as nice as yours" Jesus Braius

Fearnie getting feral on us hm

Oh Ashton my love. We know you have parental issues hun.

"Are you okay Matt?" "I'm fine."

Are. Are we sure Matt's okay? (joking, mainly but like damn creepy shit this ep yall)

✨ Generational trauma ✨

I'm worried about what this conversation is gonna mean for Ashton a little bit honestly though they've had one hell of a look this whole time

Ah here's the good stuff. So something about Ruidusborn, particularly the strongest Exultants, can unlock magic similar to the Divine Gate?? The implications

"I wish I had more empathy." "You *are* my daughter." oof

Ooo a hemocraft ritual for the dragon?? Up your game Chet

Failure brings an eternal enemy, no pressure

Exaltants disappearing?? Uh oh. Maybe Ludinus has a Version 2 of the funnel thing

Oooooh maybe he's throwing them at the Gate holding Predathos eesh

Oh my god maattttt the Misty Step

DORIAN DID YOU LEAVE THE EMISSARY OUTSIDE

Okay okay Nana got this

I would now be like side eyeing all of the ...everything in Nana's place. Especially if it still has a face. Eugh.

THANK YOU LAUDNA for actually checking in with my boy. Orym is being so strong for everyone all the time 😭

Are Fearne and Ash gonna cuddle the dragon? I love this

Ooohhh Doriaaannnn same though

Oh man okay blow all the spell slots Laudy

This is fucking insane what even

Oop he's a tree okay

Several Ludinuses slapping him for several minutes, wonderful

These fucken rolls tonight damn

Oo using the spirit horse awesome awesome

Orym's speech and Ash leaving like that ajxbjdv

I have lots of feelings but no words for them

Now I want them to take Laudna back to the Vasselheim temple for some lake of blood action

Robbiiiieeee damn 'if a god can see the future.. I would imagine the one you can't see is the one where the gods come to an end.'

Oryyym an Doriaaannnn 😭😭 boooyyssss

Look at that, character growth. Ash left instead of starting shit

Oo okay Braius oh wait shit okay which god

Chase the rest away. So the betrayers would stay?? That's *bad* yall

SAMUEL

Braius is bout to get some Nana and I don't know how to feel about it

MILF Manor : Morri I'd like to Fuck. Oh my god

Cursed demon armor

Bet you if you fail the save it stays

Bompers. Wild.

Oooohhhhhh Gloamglut just saaaddd but he seems thankful that Fearne plans to let him go free

Aww he's a good booyyyyyyyy

I love Fearne and Ashton's interactions so much aaaaaaaa

Horror cozy that's totally an aesthetic isn't it

♥️♥️♥️

And that’s it guys. These posts are so long but I normally don't have a good place for a page break.. Eesh. I just have a lot of Thoughts and Feelings about these idiots we love so much. But also like sometimes I forget I'm supposed to be doing this and I just zone out and listen to them and then I'm like fuck I had a Thought and didn't write it down damn..

[having-conniptions]

Love In The Air episode 6 live reaction under the cut (long post) (now with updated spelling!)

Very curious where this show will go since the lead couple is already together - probably mainly throwing angst at the lead couple while developing the second lead couple's relationship ayyyy let's go PrapaiSky

Rain hiding behind Phayu awww bbyyyy

"This is Rain, my boyfriend" hehehe I know you've been waiting so long for the moment when you can finally introduce him as your bf

That poser is getting on my nerves

HI PRAPAI BABYYYY

Not Prapai trying to ask about Sky lmao wait what if they had some fun that night but didn't see each other again after that? I thought they'd been hooking up this entire time but maybe it was a one time thing? Feeling like a detective rn I think I'm on to something

Kick that poser out or at least kick his teeth in pllleeeease

Oh godddddd Rain is so adorableeeee trying to make Phayu smile

And the kiss aaaaaa

"Why is he in such a hurry?" because his baby is waiting for him to come home

THE NOSE KISS AWWWWWWW

The poser is stirring up trouble againnnn

"You'll see how enviable you are to have a boyfriend like me" hahaha Phayu

Why does Rain's shirt have a piece of a sweater vest attached to it lol

Mmmmm Phayu in racing gear, Rain can't compute

"I'm starting to want you to rip this suit off me" SIR I- honestly props to Rain for not having his head explode after that line from Phayu

The way Rain immediately gets ready to throw hands when the poser starts to insult Phayu - I'd almost forgotten Rain wasn't always this docile, he's actually a rude little shit lmao

The pinky promise awwww

Of course Phayu won yayyyyy

The way Rain almost tackles him xD I love how they just ignore the poser and leave bc they're too eager to, uh, get Phayu out of his suit

Daaaaamn the way Rain took charge there for a second 🔥🔥🔥 the way he grabbed Phayu's chin

I'm surprised they made it up those stairs holy moly

The lip bite?? The tongues???

Rain: "P'Phayu, you said you're happy when you're with bikes but I'm happier to spend a moment like this with you" see, what he meant to say was "you like riding bikes but I prefer to ride you" considering that's literally what he's doing rn

OKAY HE LITERALLY SAID "THIS IS ALSO RIDING" I GUESS I'M PSYCHIC AND ALSO I'LL BE GOING NOW BYE

The forehead kiss I am meltingggg

Sleepy Rain is babyyyy

"Does this mean I like you, P'Phayu?" HAHAHA RAIN DO YOU?

"It's more than like." AAAA IS HE GONNA SAY IT

IS PHAYU GONNA GET COLD FEET OR IS HE GONNA SAY IT BACK

Awww Rain fell asleep before he could confess and Phayu said "me too" THEY LOVE EACH OTHER I'M GONNA CRY

That glass on the table looks exactly like the ones I have at home they're from ikea

THE POSER HAS BEEN BANNED AYYYY

"We're more like a married couple" UHAUL LESBIAN SPEED AGAIN

Malewife Rain ftw get it girl

Uh oh something's fishy with the delivery guy

Called it

Bonus scene: AYYYY HE REALIZED THE NOTE AND THE TRIANGLE WERE FROM PHAYU

[baba-the-yagaa]

tumblr i love you with my heart and soul where else do i get this flung in my face and take only 5 points of psychic damage

[phoebehalliwell]

….lesbian Phoebe and bi Kyra, please?

okay okay so both of them are like meeting in this era where they’re finally like. like you know. like. open to love. like kyra has had flings she’s had fun but evidently since she’s like a demon or whatever she can’t love (??) but now that she’s got this shot at being human like she finally has a chance to find love something’s she’s seen in visions been on the edge of feeling but never quite been able to reach phoebe on the other hand has like just finally realized that like. she’s a lesbian. like. every single relationship she’s had so far had just been because a man pursued her like it was always just her reacting to the chase and she liked playing the cat and mouse game you know it was fun sure but it never really felt like love like she never really wanted them per se she just liked feeling wanted and was willing to fit the role she needed to play in order to feel wanted but now she’s like realizing that she wants to want someone she wants to settle down with someone she loves, not just someone who loves her. and in this journey, she keeps trying to go out with guys and like. wow. when she factors out their emotions. like. huh. she’s not that into them. like. any of them. like. men as a whole. hey. is she a lesbian? does like a bit for bay mirror for pride month like gay love goes to a lesbian bar elise is like hell yes this is great for the paper (also. maybe u realize something doing this column. who know not me!!) and boy oh boy does phoebe realize something doing this column yes indeed she is a lesbian. enter kyra. oh hot damn.

and kyra’s like yes phoebe is a total babe and a half yes like omg but like she’s kinda done the whole dating a demon in the past it really didn’t go well for her i don’t want to come on to strong meanwhile phoebe meets kyra and well let’s say she finally gets what it feels like to want someone and she’s like !!! holy shit! is this how y’all have been feeling this whole time! um but. wow. wow is that a feeling. and it scares phoebe lowkey. like yes this is what she wanted but like kyra feels like all she’s ever wanted and god she wants her so bad and oh my god is she gonna fuck this up quick run!! so phoebe keeps dodging the shit outta kyra which only feed kyra’s need to pump the breaks but whenever phoebe lets her guard down and they hang out oh goddamn do sparks fly anyways one plotline or another psychic visions hit a snafu psychics can no longer have visions they can only transfer them onto other people so like phoebe and kyra are like looking at piper paige leo like okay one of y’all needs to catch a vision so everyone start meditating or something anyway it’s paige who get the vision and she’s like okaay i see what we need uh leo go find out about x demon and kyra phoebe you guys work on a spell and piper you me potion okay and she’s basically dragging piper down the stairs as she says that and piper’s like okay?? sheesh what did you see that was so bad and paige is like no um i wouldn’t necessarily call it bad and piper’s like you wouldn’t call the demon bad and paige is like oh no i would call that bad but um that wasn’t all i saw and piper’s like that wasn’t all you saw and paige is like no um. i also saw um phoebe and kyra. at a wedding. and piper’s like ??? okay? whose wedding? and paige is like. um. theirs! and now piper’s also like !!! bc like. omg??? and they’re like prepping t fight the demon and phoebe and kyra are like haha did the vibe shift in here and piper and paige are like nope!! nope haha why would you even ha what no what would even make you say that lol no don’t even worry about it [should we tell them?] [no! are you kidding! phoebe is already running out of the room at any hint of a relationship] [yeah but like... it is their business, right?] [do you want to tell them?] [no.] [okay then.] hey what are you guys talking about.

blah blah blah plot continues phoebe and kyra realize that the psychic issue can be resolved by idk. full transparency. they can’t see their visions because their clouding their own truths from themselves. or whatever. and phoebe’s like haha no i’m not doing that and kyra’s like oh i am i’m in love with you. and phoebe chokes on her drink. and kyra’s like i mean we have to clear the air!! and it’s true. and it’s oaky if you don’t feel the same way babe honestly bc i think you’re so great that i just want you to be happy i want you to be with someone you want to be with. and phoebe’s like thanks <3. and there are still no visions. bc um. Someone Still Has To Confess Something. and phoebe’s like : ). this is fine. and kyra’s like okay well i know i did just drop a big bombshell on you but um for the sake of like saving the world don’t want to rush you or anything but like. we should probably keep trying to bring back visions. and phoebe’s like no yeah totally honestly tho i just really don’t know what i’m supposed to reveal like i don’t think i’m hiding any truths. i mean you know me i’m an open book. and kyra’s like phoebe. babe. you know i love you. like quite literally you know that now. so like. from a place of love, you’re a shit liar and idk we need to get a vision right now to like save piper and paige or something. and phoebe’s like yeah. and kyra’s like come on nothing you could have to say could top mine okay just like let it out and phoebe’s like no i don’t know what i’m supposed to say and kyra’s like ??? just say it like we need this back and phoebe’s like yeah. ..... . and kyra’s like ?? and phoebe’s like oh fuck it and just kisses kyra and the kiss triggers the vision they need and then they save the day <3

"Save the fight until I have the camera ready, okay?" "That's not a view, that's a snow." "I think you're in the corridor of the monkey." "If you throw that me, I'm gonna fuckin' flip my goddamn lid." "You want some snow, bitch?!" "Lady? Girl? ...I should really learn her name." "Water's looking a little green, that's just the way I like it." "Did the ghosts take my friends again?" "I'm actually half ghost." "Is that a lightsaber? Like from Star Trek?" "I'm gonna level with you, I hate being in the same room as you." "BOOOOOOOOOOOK!" "You like the new office? I fuckin' don't." "You didn't read through the contract, did you kiddo?" "I can get fucked? Finally!" "Even the ghost agrees." "I should have fucking known. This ghost is such a libro." "That's great and all, but I'm gonna look like a jackass!" "This is what happens when you pull mean pranks. God punishes an elk." "THAT was a HEALING spell?! Oh god!" "Door key? You're pretty dorky!" "I can imagine a lot of dipshits, in fact." "Get un-naked! Get un-naked! Get un-naked! Get un-naked!" "I'm casting a hex on you now. Have fun getting hexed, idiot." "See? The Kinect causes psychic powers." "I can't believe Blue's freakin' clue is on here." "Ugh...I freaking hate doors." "Blue save me..." "Telling them the vibes made you do it won't hold up in a court of law." "Oh, would you look at the time. It's time for me to rip you a new one again!" "I cannot wait, but I suppose I'll have to." "The hex worked great. Now let's see if I can go shoot what remains of her." "I love running through the forest like a fucking weirdo." "You look like an idiot on the ground there." "If I have anything to say about it, you won't make it back." "I wanna see you, whatever you are, you funny-looking fellow." "Why do I have so much trouble with doors?" "Hey, funny voice! Fuck off, please!" "It's a saw trap, you dumb piece of shit!"

"Seems mysterious, but I won't shoot him this time. Gotta weaken him with the hex." "You're gonna get fucked if you can't say goodbye to a ghost. Trust me on that one." "Hey, uh, do you wanna stop having trouble with doors, now'd be a phantasmical time!" "Unless you want to work with me here, well...we're gonna be stuck here until dawn." "Not like you've ever done anything on purpose in your entire life, you fucking hack." "What, not even a goddamn laugh? Oh, it's gonna be a rough fuckin' couple weeks." "I can't believe I made it up to Rude Mountain only to be discovered by rude people." "I've got all my gamerscore on my phone, so I'm hoping that nobody really touched it.” "That's pretty cringe of you, buddy. I'm gonna put you in my Cringe Tuesday compilation." "If I wanted to talk about beans, I'd hang around with the fuckin' Among Us crew down there." "You know what? I have two arms, so I guess I CAN carry both of them at the same time." "I just got my lips unstuck. Aw, geez. I've been trying to talk to you guys this whole time."  "I left some beans in my backpack. They might be a few years old, but they don't really expire." "I should've known that coming to Rude Mountain would have made you worse as a person." "I've just been playing a lot of Among Us recently and I've just been trying to really get good at lying. "Oh, so NOW you're a funny guy, huh? You think you got your own jokes?! Ya think this is stand up?!" "I have blankets in the back, but I'm gonna go to the front just to see if I can spice things up a little." "I'm here to help you, and whaddya do? You spit in my goddamn face! ...Metaphorically, of course.” "What do you take me for, some kind of clown?! Some kind of Boo Boo the Fool that ain't done this rodeo before?!" "Here at therapy we're here to answer the one big burning question everyone's got: what the FUCK is wrong with you?" "I noticed you don't have much of a sense of humor. That might explain all the shit you've gotten into recently, wouldn't it?" "Well with my ten step plan I'll be happy to go plumb the depths of your sad, scared little mind and see what makes you...tick, as it were."

HOLY FUCKING SHIT Y’ALL. HOLY SHIT. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. PLEASE JESUS FUCK.

i kind of miss when noragami was just a manga about a nightmare in a sweatshirt with no job, no job, and a self-proclaimed "God", and a common third-grade girl. buckle up because i have a LOT to say.

about 50 points of psychic damage under the cut.

-

Okay. Alright. Okay. I don’t even. Okay.

Everything about this chapter was so good, you guys. The writing was beautiful, same goes for the art. The character development for both Nora and Yato was fucking delicious, every single character interaction was amazing and relevant and good (especially Yato and trash dad holy SHIT), and it’s always great to see that Hiyori has learned Nothing.

I’m gonna be straight up with you guys for a sec, I did Not understand where Hiyori was on that first scene and it will probably haunt me forever.

why is it that the only time anyone smiles anymore is while doing fucked up shit.

Look I still stan baby yato but the ears, man.

NORA’S ARC IS MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS ENTIRE MANGA (not really, but it’s damn close). She has literally known nothing but abuse her entire life and is realizing that hurting people may be bad actually and I love that for her.

And I really like that she’s unapologetic for her past actions because that is how she is. It’s so painfully in-character for her to go “yeah, I acknowledge what my dad, Yato and I did was fucked up, and don’t plan on doing anything similar in the future, but I don’t regret it, and I would do it again because I enjoyed it, and I wish you could see that, too.” I love her as a character so damn much.

they were just kids having their fucked up little fun, man. It was all they knew and that breaks my heart into tiny pieces.

so a rain of scattered flower petals, you say? perhaps even. perhaps even crimson petals, yeah?🙃

these people THEY NEED TO STOP DRAWING THESE PARALLELS BETWEEN HIYORI AND SAKURA I CAN’T FUCKING TAKE IT.

How dare trash dad be soft with the ayakashi. How  d a r e  h e.

He’s lost it. I mean, he’s been insane all along but he has officially lost it.

re: my little rant about how he still sees Yato as a child. He quite literally cannot fathom Yato wanting to bring him any harm. He can’t conceptualize the deep, primal hatred he feels for him, and how far he is willing to go to have retribution for everything he has gone through at the hands of his father. He genuinely thinks for a second that this is all a big ruse to save his pathetic little life because Yato?? can’t actually want him dead??? That’s so silly, he doesn’t even know if he would survive that! Surely he would not sacrifice his own life to see his dear old dad kick the bucket, right?

...right?

If that last sequence was animated you cannot tell me his eyes would not be glowing the brightest blue. You can’t. It’s the return of Rage!Yato: Suicidal edition.

Well honestly it was about time they showed Kazuma have some measure of limits, boy is way too op but yeah I’d say the third transformation (with a lot of back and forth between the three), second or third spell and being SWALLOWED ALIVE BY A FUCKING WHALE, all with no rest, is a good place to draw the line.

Anyway, "So I’ll be relieving you of your head, and Yaboku dies with you” came into my home, spit on me, kicked my ass, and called me a bitch.

Can’t say it’s not on me to have forgotten just how fucked up Yato could be if provoked.

AND AS ALWAYS HERE’S A TOAST TO THE SOON-TO-COME REVOKING OF TRASH DAD’S HEAD PRIVILEGES.

...anyone have eyes on Yukine?

[thepringlesofblood]

i just gotta

so

im watching fantasy high s2 on dropout right? binging it over a month so i only have to pay 5$?

the beginning of episode 6 (pirate brawl) is without a doubt the most secondhand embarrassment i have felt in my entire life OW that shit dealt me 8d10 psychic damage holy shit

other highlights (*spoilers obvs*)

every single pirate name including but not limited to

old young benjamin

chungle-down bim (short for bimothy)

creaky mcbarrel

*a bunch of pirates chanting around fabian* RELIVE YOUR TRAUMA! RELIVE YOUR TRAUMA!

fabian for once in his life being completely honest with the warlocks and it not being enough OWWWWW

“this is worse than the ribbon dance”

lou, desperately holding back laughter: “Alright, follow me! We’re gonna jump on ‘em, and we’re gonna murder ‘em!”

“Are you laughing about how you’re about to die?”

the hangvan: “old skull and bones just skoodalooded outta here pretty toasty”

gorgug:

“can I slap him to see if anything magical jostles inside him?” WHY

*mumbles in new englander* itsnotaropeitsalinewhenitsonaship

brennan, zac, emily, I need you to know that that is NOT how ropes work in ANY circumstance

22 rounds of combat.........god.

I WILL PAY FOR ALL YOUR SPELLS!!! I HAVE UNLIMITED MONEY!!!!

WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MY FRIENDS????

I had the thought at some point during the fight on the crow’s nest*: “oh, this fight is Fabian’s Battle of Fort Necessity” (Washington’s first battle as commander, when he was a complete novice, resulting in the slaughter of his troops and a disastrous surrender that helped spark a whole ass war)

the revenge of chungle-down bim!!!

brian taking his glasses off over and over as more terrible things happen - I’ve legit never seen him w/out glasses before it is frightening

the energy around the table as everyone’s extremely cool and helpful abilities are just rendered null and void to help them save fabian was. horrifying. the tension was unbearable it felt like the same energy as when aguefort shoots mr gibbons then himself but in a less good way omg i seriously had the thought of ‘brennan can you just call this off????? make it better pls?????’ (and obvs that’s not fair, brennan as a DM is amazing and I trust him with this kinda shit, but damn)

fabian’s fucking soft, broken voice when everyone finally gets to him...god.

I genuinely think lou wilson almost had a fuckin mental breakdown in this episode. and for good reason! jesus christ. fabian going 85 mph (mistakes per hour)

the hangman acting like a dog comforting fabian was fucking heartwrenchingly cute and it makes what happens to the hangman later in the night so much worse

legit when they were gettin wasted, my first thought was shouldn’t tracker stay sober enough to cast the moon haven and i forget if it was that or if it was that they all immediately took off to save fabian that made it malfunction but holy shit this is the last thing they needed after all that i’m so so so fucking glad that siobhan rolled 2 nat 20s for her portent rolls bc seeing any of that happen to fig or gorgug would have killed me

Garthy O’Brien has now become officially my favorite npc, I fucking love them. if anything happens to them i will kill everyone in this room and then myself

fabian’s worse nightmare being growing up to be like gilear is a lot more terrifying than it sounds like! in concept it sounds really funny! in execution I was so fucking scared!

me watching fantasy high up until this episode: oh i wonder why everyone wants fabriz to happen i mean theyre friends and all but i just don’t see it

me after this episode: oh...

before this i kept seeing all these fuckin music videos getting recommended to me on youtube titled shit like ‘fabian’s breakdown’ and i was like damn what happened? TO LIVE IN THAT BLISSFUL IGNORANCE ONCE MORE

this has to be the WORST night of fig’s fabian’s riz’s ragh’s any of their lives, including prompocalypse, holy shit it never ends

kalina: isn’t it fucked up that aguefort keeps sending children to do horrifying dangerous things for a grade?

me: YEAH IT IS

props to brennan for making the adults that came on this journey as flawed and fallible as the kids

cathilda didn’t say anything to fabian upon finding him, just got him to safety. i honestly think she’s gonna fuckin snap at some point and she deserves to.

the image of adaine somberly pedaling on her Razor scooter across the fuckin crooked busted wooden planks of leviathan like ratatatatata is such a perfect perfect image to end on

*(due to my tragic backstory as someone who once had the entire hamilton soundtrack memorized)

Fate and Phantasms Anniversary Special

Today on Fate and Phantasms we celebrate our 1 year anniversary! If it wasn't for all our fans we'd probably have given up ages ago, so we're going with a fan-picked character! (Don't worry if yours didn't get picked this time around, we'll hold onto them for another day)

Now we're building Romulus-Quirinus, the divine ancestor of Rome and King of Nation Building!

They're an Order Cleric to make civilization building easy, and an Astral Self Monk to make clearing the way even easier.

Check out their build breakdown below the cut, or their character sheet over here!

Next up: Fear leads to hanger. Hanger leads to hate. Hate leads to... pocky??

Race and Background

Despite ascending to godhood, you start as a Human, which gives you +1 Dexterity and Wisdom, proficiency with Religion for obvious reasons, and the Fighting Initiate feat for unarmed fighting so you can punch real good.

You're also an outlander because it's hard to be anything else before the country's built. You get proficiency with Athletics and Survival.

Ability Scores

Everything should be 40, but we're going with the standard array to make arguing with your DM a bit easier. Make your Wisdom super high for a better time ruling people and smiting them, follow it up with Strength because you really like that fancy gold armor. Your Dexterity is also pretty good, because that armor is optional. Charisma helps with ruling people too, so keep that above average. This leaves your Constitution lower than we'd like, but we're dumping Intelligence. You are by no means dumb, it's just the score that affects the build the least.

Class Levels

1. Monk 1: Starting off as a monk is pretty much mandatory so we have a martial weapon for the feat we just took, but this also means you start off with your first ascension's Unarmored Defense, adding your wisdom modifier to your AC while you aren't wearing armor.

Also while not wearing armor you can use Martial Arts, which lets you use dexterity instead of strength for your punches and you can attack as a bonus action if you attack with your main action. It also gives you a d4 martial arts die, but your fighting style is better, so...

On top of all that, you get proficiency with Strength and Dexterity saves, as well as History and Insight. You kinda are history.

2. Monk 2: Second level monks get Unarmored Movement, making you a little bit faster without the giant gold platemail. Aside from that, you get Ki points equal to your monk level per short rest, which you can spend to attack twice, dodge, disengage, or dash as a bonus action. You get something next level that is way more useful though.

3. Monk 3: Third level monks can Deflect Missiles as a reaction, rendering arrows and slingshots slightly less effective. You also gain the Arms of the Astral Self, letting you beef up your arms as a bonus action. Your anchor arms last for 10 minutes, and while active you can use wisdom instead of strength or dexterity to make attacks and strength saves/checks. You also get a long range on your unarmed attacks, and they deal force damage instead of bludgeoning. I'd love it if it was radiant, but force is kind of an upgrade, so I'll take it. The cool part is you can totally use this with armor, which will be useful in a bit.

4. Cleric 1: Oh hey it's useful now. As an Order Cleric you get proficiency with Heavy Armor, as well as Persuasion to make getting those pesky zoning ordinances in order a bit easier.

You also become a Voice of Authority, meaning that if you cast a spell targeting one or more allies, one of those allies can use their reaction to attack, because there's nothing more romantic than giving your all on the battlefield.

Speaking of, you can cast and prepare Spells now using your Wisdom. For cantrips, grab Thaumaturgy for religion funnies, and Resistance to make yourself a bit tougher than is reasonable. You also get the cantrip Hand of Radiance for a shinier punch. It's a melee range spell that deals 1d6 radiant damage if the target fails a constitution save. It's not as powerful as your punches, but it ignores armor!

You also get first level spells, and your freebies are Command and Heroism, great for when you need to build Roma from the ground up. Some other good city-building spells are Ceremony, Create or Destroy Water, and Purify Food and Drink.

5. Cleric 2: Second level clerics can Channel Divinity once per short rest. You can either use the classic Turn Undead to wig out any undead who fail a wisdom save, or you can issue Order's Demand to charm nearby creatures for a round. You can also force those creatures to drop whatever they're holding.

6. Cleric 3: Third level clerics get second level spells, like Hold Person and Zone of Truth. You can also use Continual Flame to make eternal torches, Calm Emotions to settle disputes peacefully, and Spiritual Weapon to not settle things peacefully.

7. Cleric 4: When you finally get your first Ability Score Improvement, bump up your Wisdom for a better unarmored AC, Astral Arms attacks, and spells. You really like wisdom, it's good to you.

You can also use Guidance to make yourself a little better than everyone else at ability checks.

8. Cleric 5: Fifth level clerics see their Turn Undead turn into Destroy Undead, instantly destroying undead of CR 1/2 or lower who fail their wisdom save. You also get third level spells, like Mass Healing Word and Slow. I'd also suggest Clairvoyance for a bit of omniscience, Daylight for the aesthetic, and Spirit Shroud for a bit of power building. It's fine, beating up a god needs power building, so it's in character.

9. Cleric 6: This level lets you Channel Divinity twice per rest, and you become an Embodiment of the Law, letting you cast enchantment spells as a bonus action instead of an action. You can speed things up this way Wisdom Modifier per long rest. Now you can hold someone down and slap the shit out of them in the same turn!

10. Cleric 7: Continuing the trend you've probably figured out by now, seventh level clerics get fourth level spells, like Compulsion and Locate Creature. You can also use Control Water to make your harbor more or less hospitable.

11. Cleric 8: As an eighth level order cleric, your Divine Strike lets you add psychic damage to one of your attacks each turn. Since this applies to a "weapon attack" and not a "melee weapon attack", your fists qualify. Yes, they are a melee "weapon attack", not a "melee weapon attack". Makes perfect sense.

You also get another ASI, which will let you max out your Wisdom for so many good reasons. Punching, spells, AC, they're all a bit better.

Destroy Undead also kills creatures of CR 1 or lower now.

12. Cleric 9: Ninth level clerics get fifth level spells, like Commune and Dominate Person. You can also use your Noble Phantasms on the offensive thanks to Flame Strike, or on the defensive as Mass Cure Wounds or Hallow. The former is basically a giant laser, the middle one is Cure Wounds But Multiple People, and the latter will turn an area into a great spot to build a city. As long as you aren't building a city for Celestials, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, or Undead.

13. Cleric 10: If you're tired of slapping people around with a hand of radiance, you can just use a Word of Radiance instead! It's literally the same thing as Hand of Radiance, but it uses a holy symbol instead of somatic components.

That being said you can also use Divine Intervention now, letting you call up your god (read: you) for a favor once per day. It only has a 1 in 10 chance of succeeding, but if it does the DM's the limit on what kind of help you'll get. After getting help you have to wait a week for it to recharge. You’d think you’d be willing to call in favors for you more often, but I’m not a god, so I wouldn’t know.

14. Cleric 11: Eleventh level clerics get sixth level spells, and sadly we're out of freebies. That being said, you could use Sunbeam for a reusable Per Aspera Ad Astra, or create a Heroes' Feast for a good time on the town.

Also, your Destroy Undead bumps up again to CR 2.

15. Cleric 12: This ASI will bump your Strength up, both so you can have stronger attacks when your Astral Arms are down, and so you can wear full plate armor without an issue.

16. Cleric 13: With the advent of seventh level spells, we finally get the only cleric spell in the game that actually lets you build a structure. Temple to the Gods lets you build a temple of your own design within a 120' square, and while it normally ends a day later, casting the spell in the same spot for a year makes the spell permanent. Honestly 1 building a year seems a bit slow for a city, I'd suggest just building them the old fashioned way. You can also use Divine Words to send extraplanar creatures back to where they came from, and you weaken other creatures with status effects dependent on how many hit points they have left.

17. Cleric 14: Destroy Undead kills CR 3 creatures now. Not fancy, but at least those skeletal owlbears will leave you alone. Also your Divine Strike is better now.

18. Cleric 15: Eighth level spells are always fun. You can now do stuff like Control Weather, cause an Earthquake, shed a Holy Aura to protect allies, or use a Sunburst to launch a big blob of light at enemies.

19. Cleric 16: Use your last ASI to become Tough for an extra 38 HP. The one problem with cleric; super squishy class.

20. Cleric 17: Your capstone level is surprisingly busy. Your Destroy Undead hits CR 4 creatures, and you can invoke Order's Wrath on creatures when you hit them. If you hit a creature with your Divine Strike, you can curse them until the start of your next turn. If an ally hits the cursed creature, they take another round of Divine Strike damage!

And that's not all! You also get ninth level spells! None of them particularly scream "Romulus" to me, but I mean you're a god, you can use whatever you want.

Pros:

You might only have one attack per round, but you really make them count. Each swing deals 3d8+5 damage per hit, and they deal psychic and force damage, two of the hardest types to avoid. And that's all before you get into spells to buff yourself like Spirit Shroud. It's not flashy, but it is consistent.

You've got a maxed out casting modifier and plenty of charming spells, meaning you're pretty good at controlling others.

Embodiment of the Law is huge, it lets you buff and debuff as a bonus action, freeing up your main action for direct support or combat.

Cons:

With only three monk levels, you don't have a lot of Ki to go around. You'll probably have to save all of it for your Astral Arms, as you're a lot weaker without them.

On a related note, multiclassing the way we did is also pretty awkward. The 20th level of cleric is super powerful, and if we spent two more levels as monk you could attack more often per turn and get more ki points.

Your constitution isn't great, meaning you can drop concentration easily and you're kind of squishy for a god. That's especially not good considering your main form of combat is slapping people in the face.

No I seriously am *loving* Arceus

This is the best Pokemon game I have ever played (I haven't exactly played a *ton* of Pokemon in my time, Silver was my first, Ruby was my favourite for over a decade, I played half of Pearl's story before giving up, I actually had a lot of fun with Pokemon Channel, and I played exactly one gym leader's worth of X before selling it. you know how people are saying, now, with Sword and Shield, that Pokemon games are stuck in a rut of being mechanically the exact same every time, plagued with a barebones story told through a snail's pace of forced tutorialization? I had that opinion with Pearl. I've been passively viewing the franchise at a distance ever since. So. Seriously. Arceus is *fun*.)

I have put just under 17 hours into it so far. It shares much of the slowness and commonalities of previous games, but it's mechanically *different* and *fun* enough that I have an effortless time giving it the good faith it deserves. So. The slowness is *fun* and I appreciate it for allowing me to interpret the lore and the world and the emotions there are. I suspect antsier players may grow somewhat impatient with the dialogue and cutscenes.

I have called my character Isi. Basically Issy of Finnegans Wake but spelled in a way that seems appropriate for the setting. I have tried some other costumes and hairstyles but honestly the default is.. aesthetically perfect. I have also more or less stuck with a static party of pokemon for all the game. I've swapped out *some* here and there, mostly early on, but like.. I'm still using one of the first Bidoofs I ever caught. She's grown into an unexpected powerhouse. (I called her Ba.) And one of the first Shinxes I ever caught, I've also still got her (I keep getting tempted to swap her out, but she knows such diverse moves!! I have called her the rather boring name Thunder). Oh, and my first ever Drifloon, from my first ever nightfall, is also still with me (she is Wraith, and she is a psychic tank).

...all my Pokemon are girls. I didn't even realize that. Even my alpha Graveller (Veles!).

(I also have a Kirlia, my current weakest whom I am training, named Banshee. I apparently love the elegant Pokemon. Oh, and my starter was a Rowlet, I named her Strigi. She is now a Decidueye, and while I'm not crazy over how she went from two amazing designs into a weird third evolution, I *definitely* have a soft spot for Fighting Bird Pokemon, as Blaziken was my childhood fave.)

This is *my* Pokemon game. It feels right.

(I also have several paragraphs of interpretation of the lore in my head. The dynamic between the migrant Galaxy Team and the native Diamond and Pearl clans, so gracefully synecdochized in the modernist abstraction of the pokeball and the natives' reluctance towards its adoption??? The legalist architecture of Galaxy HQ???? You "fell from the sky?????" This is.. this is so *cool!!!!!* This is the potential Pokemon always had!!!! AND YOU CAN WALK AROUND IN FIRST-PERSON. HOLY *SHIT*. THAT'S IT, THIS IS MY FUCKING POKEMON GAME.)

X-Manson Annotated Chapter 4 - Part Eight - THE ESCAPE

I'm sorry for how late this section is coming. It's a lot to pour over the various bits of it. Here, we'll be talking about the escape from the school perpetrated by members of the new mutants and kitty pryde. However, the events surrounding it are very murky and I may lean heavy on interpretation for this next section.

Four children actually escaped.

But more started to escape, but couldn't because of a mess up on their end.

Human children born to mutant parents are common, but usually the children are stillborn?

*I know this isn't what he means, but i'm imagining Xavier's also going out at night looking to mug someone.

The cult is kidnapping people from the town?

ACAB.

*Illyana's stepping disk.

Paige, Sam, Kitty, and Dani made it out. I'm still not sure why Kitty and Dani are named. The original text frames the story as Paige and Sam being dead, but they got out of the house.

I suppose I'll know more later.

(Holy shit. I'm going to reframe this as normal prose so we can get a good idea of what's happening. I'll be using their actual names for this. There's a bit of editorializing here, so bear with me.)

The escapees stood around, looking at the square, just beyond the gates that lead up to the school. They looked at Pete Wisdom and Nathaniel Essex. Paige gestured up the road that lead to Xavier's School. With not a single utterance, Paige collapsed to the ground, coming down hard on her knees, still pointing at the school.

"Oh God no, no, no!" shouted her big brother, Sam. He could immediately tell there was something wrong with his baby sister.

Dani looked around, repeating "Where's Illyana?"

Her voice was frantic, but her repetition was broken by Kitty, "Oh shit, Yana fucked up...We have to run. No one moves." Essex spoke up, "Are you from the school?" Dani was frantic still, "That stupid little bitch." Kitty looked to the group, "We have to run NOW!" "We're dead," said Sam. "Oh fuck," cried Kitty before fleeing into the dark, running right through a brick wall like a phantom. "We have to hide," said Dani, momentarily breaking from her mania. "This way," said Essex. Dani followed Nathaniel Essex away to safety, but that left Pete Wisdom alone with the other three. Rooted to the spot. He looked back and he could see movement in the school's courtyard. He reached out for Paige and the girl began to wail a horrible, piercing noise unlike any kind of scream he'd ever heard outside of horror movies. Sam pulled his hand back and it collided hard with his sister, knocking her over so he and Pete could drag her back to the house. Nobody circled around the house as far as they could tell.

Benway makes a spelling error.

Illyana didn't make it. Not sure how. Normally she has to be on the disk to transport herself and others.

Nathaniel finds the signs of mutilation on Danin and possibly Paige.

Storm has come into the doctor's house and has kidnapped Paige and Sam and taken them back to the house. By this time Kitty and Dani are already gone. But they've also taken Essex with them.

*Xavier has gotten to the cops.

*Limb, amputated. Another error on benway's part.

*This description on my first read through made me think that "Psyche" was in fact Xuân Cao Mạnh. But the amputation of Xuan's leg would have come later and she never used the name "Psyche" i only realized this after rereading some old New Mutants.

I don't know what this joke's significance is. A remark about her time at the school?

She has that verbal tick throughout.

I'm not sure how common that is with crack users.

*Kitty. But you knew that.

*Xavier could remotely operate the psychics in his cult remotely by ripping out their consciousnesses. This leads more to one of the psychics mentioned at the airport being Karma.

How did Sam learn this?

** Is Illyana from Salem? One of the people kidnapped from there? Somewhere else?

Illyana being his "Sister" is supposed to act as a cover for sexual abuse? If so, why put it on the cover if nobody beyond the cult knows?

Jean Grey's powerful enough even when she's cored to help people escape. Fuck yeah, Jean.

Order of Operations:

Kitty, Jean, Dani, and Sam form a psychic connection.

They form a plan with Illyana to get out of the house using Illyana's stepping disks.

They blind the psis in the house using a device.

Rasputin comes to the room, looking for Illyana. She stalls him, gets left behind when they fuck off.

They end up outside.

Kitty and Dani flee.

Sam and Paige are recaptured alongside Essex.

Illyana not having a lot of control over her powers is a reference to early new mutants where she didn't have very much control over where her disks let them off at or when. Hopefully this illyana is lost to time rather than dying in that awful place.

Dani got hooked on crack to make her mutant ability useless to the cult.

No Ororo/Callisto toxic yuri to be found here folks, only horror.

That wraps up chapter four. holy shit. We're close to the end. This chapter has a lot of meat to it, I hope that I've accurately cataloged everything i found here and interpreted it well.

GO ELLIE! GO ELLIE! GO ELLIE! *does Delbert Doppler’s little dance*

A very precise kick to the hand holding the dagger, to an even more precise head-butt to the nose, to the most precise knee to the *ahem* (points for guessing the kick -even if it wasn’t in the face).

God, that episode was great.

Thorne crumbling to the floor gripping the family in pain was such a sweet, sweet moment. Retribution!

Ellie going after the disruptor and then yeeting it to the wall like a Pokeball or a baseball and then laying on the floor after the huge-ass explosion that followed, going ‘yeah, probably should have took a step back there.’

And Thorne is a psychic, that’s why he knew about the Ether and how it works, and why he would have an Ether disruptor, and his channel’s color is red (the color of passion, which is quite fitting for a theatre guy).

And Ichabod, rightfully, is fucking pissed, but god, he stops when Ellie tells him to, because he doesn’t want her to see him like this and Thorne, the absolute jerk, has the gall to do the villain thing, where they mock the hero for stopping before the kill shot, because the love interest asked them to (though, more than likely here it’s because he considers Ichabod the equivalent of a golem or some shit and Ellie as the one he takes orders from or something).

And holy bejeezus, Ichabod, my poor mummifying pumpkin, he looks so defeated there at the end, because this was not how he wanted Ellie to find out, this was not where and when he was going to tell her. And my sweet Ellie, being really considerate about it, because she knows he wanted to tell her on his terms, despite the fact she must have be dying of worry ever since he first told her there was something she needed to know, back when Colin interrupted them.

And, oh God, the cliffhanger is killing me, but next episode is going to give us what little Ichabod remembers/is aware of his past and Ellie is going to get in touch with Alice, isn’t she, trying to find a way to save him, she is going to do something reckless like that, it’s not something I put past her (but not look for Oberon and Titania, I don’t think, she knows better than to trust them) in exchange for restoring the barrier spell (because Maris’ block allows Ellie to help Alice with that of her own free will and not because a contract she was tricked into).

I am so invested in this webtoon.

hello :) may i please buy some daisies?

i am 5 foot 3, i wear glasses, i have an overall comfy aesthetic, and my body is more on the lean side. my pronouns are she/her, i have an INFJ personality type, and my zodiac sign is Gemini.

my hobbies consists of reading and writing, playing games and instruments, and listening to music.

about my personality, i am told that i am really nice and understanding. i am also smart and loyal to everyone. however, i do have some trust issues and have a hard time opening up to people. if it helps, i am often called “mom” by some of my friends due to my responsible aura. if possible, i would like a haikyuu matchup please :)

Holy shit did I just manifest something platonic-

"Im a psychic!" -tanaka ryuunosuke

@quietbimbo tysm for this! I can already tell I will enjoy writing this!

Rion's Flower Shop: Daisies

Here we go! I match you with

Nishinoya Yuu

Contrary to the last matchup I did, I do believe opposites attract in this case! A freehearted nishinoya and a responsible best bud!

Headcanons~

☆ tbh I dont really know how you guys would become friends? I kinda see it as *nishinoya has spawned* and boom. Friends.

☆ but of course, things don't work like that in real life

☆ i think you would actually be friends with Ennoshita first! And ennoshita had asked you to help with a study group, nishinoya being in it

☆ jesus that must've been so long and hard

☆ but by the end of it, the group ended up getting A's on their test!

☆ and there blossomed the friendship of nishinoya. He wanted to "thank you" and "show his gratitude" for helping him study, but in reality you seemed pretty chill and he wanted to be friends with you

☆ you guys have the classic friendship type of the overly energized, fun person, and the more responsible mom friend. Yanno the kind that sort of shocks everyone?

☆ but it ends up working really well. Nishinoya quickly learned your boundaries and respected them! He knew you had trust issues so he gave you space and time for as long as you needed it. And should you ever decide to open up? He won't treat you any differently. You're still the same you! Just new information was unlocked!

☆ for that you are always grateful, and just like nishinoya always helps you, you can always help him! You give great advice and you're smart! Hes fully convinced theres not a single problem in the world you don't have a solution for

☆ now for your personalities. You two are near polar opposites. An infj and an esfp. But it works out just fine!! He gets to bring out the best in you and encourage social interactions (without pushing it) and you get to read him like an open book without him minding, and you can have so much fun with that!

☆ *cue goofy moments with the two of you messing with others or hyping up tanaka*

☆ and for some reason nishinoya gives off the vibes of someone who is completely fascinated by music, like he doesn't understand it. Sure he's heard songs on the radio and listens to music. But to see an instrument right in front of him, making sound?

☆ and that's when you started teaching noya music. He for sure wasn't the best when he started, and is still a bit shakey now, but he is still amazed by how instruments work and how by pressing down certain things or hitting something in a special way can make different noises.

☆ and plus, even if he can't play, at least he's got a cool friend to play for him

☆ this is just a great friendship in general that I lowkey wish I had lol

This was fun actually! I got another new character to work with and another new dynamic! I hope you enjoy who you got paired with and I hope I got your personality right!

Also its really late (early?) So I wouldn't be shocked if there were grammar/spelling mistakes in here, let me know if its absolutely horrible and I'll fix it!

If my reach is larger than I expected and theres new people here, hi! This was a part of my event, so if you enjoyed it or want your own, go check it out!

Trying to semi-organize my thoughts on what exactly I am wanting out of spn fic and hm let's see. If I remember this post in the future, I may update it as I think of/on things and use this for reference so I, also, don't forget lol

Okay so, wants/likes:

Cas prominent. He is my, as I believe the kpop kids say, bias, so he is kind of non-negotiable. Sorry I am just not interested in fics where he is not prominent

Destiel not required but a good plus. Slight preference for intricate courtship rituals over ones where they figure things out ridiculously easy, unless it is established relationship. If the revelation comes too quick and easy then I get taken out of the moment :')

Optional: Angels treating Cas like their baby brother :3 Cas can be somewhat put out by it or not. Actually maybe bonus if he IS, bc they are all angels of the lord and relative by rank and experience, And Yet [whoever] just cannot help but be *points* Baby

canonverse is plus. canon divergence is okay but idk how close to canon I'm looking for, if it's too close to an episode rewrite I may not be into that either

casefics are cool. If it's got that canon-typical vaguely racist sht then pls warn me going in 😔

Found family. Family don't end in blood!!! Spn may forget this but I never will!!!

Any exploration of the whole fucky destiel thematic dichotomies, the whole free will vs destiny shit, stuff like words of prophets are written on subway walls, like.. idk, something that is intricate-rituals-gay and also makes me think of the philosophy of thehuman condition

corollary: slow burns ig?? or like mutual pining? canon typical thinking they are not worthy or that it is something they cannot have? canon typical did not realize until later but even then they have their individual canon-typical reasons for not acting on it, until they do bc it's fic so they can get together for realsies?

trope: Cas and/or Destiel being parents. I read one recently where it was like single dad Cas (to Claire and Jack) and then Dean came (back) into his life recently and I rly liked it

AUs are fine but highly subject to mood so we'll see. I did read a Star Trek-y AU I liked

I'm down for a lot of various other kinds of plot tropes and stuff, tho I want stuff that's more character and plot and less, like, pwp or fuck or die or that kinda thing

trope: curses maybe? I've found a couple curse-focused fics which were interesting

trope: Hurt/Comfort of the Cas whump kind but not necessarily have to be just Cas. But like.. u know when Uriel is beating him up and he looks all bloody and beautiful, or when he flexes his sexy angel powers and transports the Winchesters to the past but then collapses bc he overtaxed himself, or when he had that blanket on when he was suffering from the attack dog spell.... yeah,,,

trope: Anything with like the Winchesters caring about and caring for Cas. I just rly like Cas being taken care of :') pls wrap him in a blanket and pat his shoulder brusque-softly in ur emotionally repressed way Dean

bottom line my emphasis tends to be more on character and plot. I can't do plot without character, the relationships - whether ship or gen - are important to my enjoyment of a fic. I can sit thru a lot if the characters/character dynamics are good and chewy lmao like u can rly sink ur teeth into it

Bonus features:

eldritch horror angels are a bonus. Give me unfathomable trueform angels, I feel like I don't see that enough

wings* but.... caveat I like my spn wings more metaphysical than literal unless they're literal for a point, but this isn't set in stone either. I'm just... slightly tired of the physicality of the wings I guess. Like it's not the physicality that's the issue, ig, but when it's not treated as metaphysical (as well)

wouldn't mind some good endverse fics to chew on altho that might also make me sad

Cas being cute, a la crazy!Cas (who is.... so soft.... his innocence.. *clutches chest*) or like when Cas and Dean went to talk to that police guy and Cas was like you tell them it's angels and demons warring and he will tell you what he knows, or when Cas was like I'm gonna become a hunter :3, or interrogating the cat, or this is his serious face, yes

Powerful af Cas?? I miss season 4/5 Cas, when he was powerful and self-assured and wasn't "mentally deficient puppy" as Metatron meanly put it Cas. I feel like we get less of that as the seasons go on... I miss Cas being powerful and exuding energy that I'm sure is what had ppl assigning him as top energy. Like yes flex ur sexy sexy angel powers pls. There's one ep where my notes just say "ANGEL SMITE ANGEL SMITE / HEAAALING." Season 6 Cas where he is more out of touch with humanity and more brusque was also intriguing even tho he was like that bc of extenuating circumstances. But him flexing his sexy angel powers sure was sexy

Do not wants :(

Endgame human!Cas. Sorry I like short-lived Cassidy am more into feathered Cas than human!Cas. endgame human!Cas just isn't a good solution/happy ending to me, I don't think Cas needs to change to be able to live happily, and also I like to chew on the like philosophical underpinnings of an immortal/mortal pairing if that does get called into question lol

Human AU* but like asterisk bc I will take human AU if the plot is compelling and/or the characterization still manages to capture that je nais se quoi of canonverse. If they are, like, middle age dads being domestic, as an example, tho, then I can probs do that, I just like.. have limited capacity for career-based AUs for the sake of it, if that makes sense... But character/character dynamics trumps all, like I said lmao.. I've sat thru scenarios/setups that lowkey dealt me psychic damage bc of the nature of the set dressing, bc I checked it out out of morbid curiosity but the way they did the characterization ended up working for me

A/B/O - I am not seeking A/B/O at the moment

Hurt no Comfort - it would make me too sad :(

fics that treat angels like literal physical feathered beings. Idk I just like... want the whole angel thing to be treated more metaphysically. They are multidimensional wavelengths of celestial intent in holy corporate/business attire visages but they are still very much multidimensional wavelengths of celestial intent the ballpark size of our Chrysler building. If the wings are treated too literally I find I start getting bored, ironically. This is ironic bc I'm a slut for wingfic. But with spn I find that a conventional kind of wingfic/angel conception where the wings are just limbs with maybe some slight handwaved dimension-shifting stowing is.. slightly passe for my tastes. Unless it's like a forced manifestation or sth. Just like.. get the metaphysics involved, tie it to angelic grace. Something. Make is racy. But not too racy, the whole wings-as-erogenous-zones thing I'm a bit over too, xenobiology to humans would just be biology to these beings, it doesn't make sense to me to be like "oh they have a tail and it's EXTRA sensitive," like are you suggesting your arm/armpit is an extra special species-typical erogenous zone too?

deaging unless it ties to some other kinda plotty deal somehow ig? Like... I got invested in this fandom for them as they are now I'm not too interesting in unseasoned nibling vers

this maybe goes with the human aus tho that's a slight asterisk but hard line no high school aus. pls I cannot take the psychic damage that would deal to me personal

I have no conclusion even tho I feel like I need one. here's wonderwall? ig I can stumble around looking for reclists and see if anything sticks out, trawling thru tags so far has been a mixed bag

Anyway haha lol, stand-up-style-tone I mean I'm not asking for a lot amirite. Just a nebulously specific set of intricate rituals wrapped around a plot and also found family or something, like you know, just a trifling

[xandertheundead]

“After everything we’ve been through, you still don’t think that I love you?” + whichever pairing you feel like writing for! thanks, hon!

“After everything we’ve been through you still don’t think I love you?”

“Eddie…”

“Eddie….please…”

Opening his eyes was a struggle, his eyelids felt like they each weighed thirty pounds. His whole body ached, but his chest was where it was the worst, even through the numb haze he felt throughout. He blinked a few times, a bare white ceiling above him with a fluorescent light that made everything too bright.

Where was he?

He closed his eyes as he tried to remember.

Derry.

Memories rushing back.

The group. The losers.

Stan. Oh god. Stan.

The fucking clown.

Richie.

Richie under the monster’s spell.

Saving Richie...and then…

Eddie took in as deep a breath as his lungs would, lifting a shaking arm that was hooked up to so many wires, and laid his hand on his chest right where he’d been completely through. His fingers touched the scratchy thin fabric of his hospital gown and under he could feel the cushion of a shit ton of bandages.

Holy shit. He’d lived.

The tears were unexpected, but he let them fall. He had made it out alive after he had been so sure that was the last time he’d ever get to see his friends. He heard movement next to him and Eddie turned his head slowly to see that familiar mess of dark hair and blue eyes behind thick glasses.

“Rich…?”

“Holy shit! Eds!”

Richie moves out of the spare guest chair fast, knowing it back as he moved forward towards the side of Eddie’s hospital bed. Richie didn’t look great. There was at least two weeks worth of beard on his face, and his glasses hid them well but Eddie could see the bags under his eyes. The usual curls were limp and wilted, looking almost oily and the grey hoodie and dark jeans were so unlike Richie’s regular bright wardrobe it was hard to take in this somber looking person as his dear friend.

He was so beautiful.

“Rich…” Eddie gave him the best smile he could. “What...what happened?”

“Jesus, Eds.” There were tears running down Richie’s cheeks, but he was smiling so wide. “You fucking scared me so bad, I-you were so damn still that I thought…”

“I know,” Eddie rasped. “I thought so too.”

Doctors and nurses came in after that and gave him a full examination, Richie ducking out to call the group and tell them that Eddie was awake. They had explained that they had contacted Myra and that she’d come as soon as she was able, which could mean anything. Leaving for Derry without explanation had caused a riot in their marriage and he wondered if she would even come at all or wait till he was okay enough to fly home himself.

That was fine. He really didn’t want to see her anyway. Didn’t want to hear how she had been right, how it had been a mistake for him to come and how he was really helpless without her.

He watched as Richie slipped back into the room as a nurse held out a mirror for Eddie to see himself. 

“Jesus, I look like the bounty paper towel guy.” Eddie scowled when he heard Richie laugh, then turned that scowl onto his reflection. He had never grown more than a goatee because Myra said she hadn’t liked him with facial hair, but two weeks without shaving made him look so much like his dad.

“Hey, that guy is hot.” Richie replied, thanking the nurse and sitting on the end of Eddie’s bed when she left. “”How’re you feeling?”

“Like I barely escaped death from a killer alien clown.” Eddie muttered, wincing as he shifted against the giant stack of pillow behind him. “My ass it numb from laying in bed for so long.”

“Damn, Eds. Trying to get me to think about your ass first thing, huh?”

Eddie gave a soft laugh. “Shut up, Dickhead. You know I-“

“I love you.”

Eddie froze, looking up at his friend with wide eyes. Richie wasn’t looking at him, had his eyes cast down with his head turned to the side slightly and he looked as if he were in pain.

“Richie, what?”

“I’m sorry!” Richie grit out from between clenched teeth. “I’m sorry. I know you’re married and your wife is going to come in here and you’re going to go home and just-“

Richie took in a shaky breath and his shoulders trembled, that’s when Eddie realized Richie was crying.

“I almost lost you,” Richie whispered softly. “I thought I did. I had your blood all over me and I thought my chance to tell you was gone so I had to. I had to tell you because- I’m sorry, Eddie. I’m so sorry, but I couldn’t hold it in anymore.”

They were both quiet for a long time, Eddie sitting there in stunned silence as Richie wiped at his face harshly with the sleeve of his sweatshirt. Eddie blinked when he heard Richie call his name, heart feeling like it was in his throat at the devastated look on Richie’s face even though he tried to smile through it.

“You don’t have to say anything, I just...needed to tell you that. I needed you to know.” Eddie watched as Richie took a deep breath, his eyes red rimmed and cheeks blotchy and, God, Eddie wanted to reach out and touch him. “I’ll leave you alone now, so you can just-“

When he noticed Richie starting to back away it was like a shock to Eddie’s system and he quickly sat up further, which was a mistake. He let out a yelp and the awful pain that echoed through his body from his chest and he had to take deep breaths to help him through it. He felt Richie next to him in a second, hands hovering, not really touching Eddie as he tried to help but not knowing how.

“Fuck, Eds! You okay? Why did you move?”

When the pain was bearable, he reached out to grab Richie’s wrist and held it as tightly as he could, looking up into those worried blue eyes that had always made him feel so warm. 

“Eds?” 

“After everything we’ve been through you still don’t think I love you?”
