Aquaria Transcript

A couple months ago I replayed Aquaria, and went looking around for a transcript online so i could reference it while making fanworks. I couldn't find an existing one, so I decided to make one myself by combing through a lets play series on youtube and paused on every line of narration I found to write it down. (here's a link to that!)

This was mostly made for own reference, but I thought other people could find it helpful so I've cleaned it up and am posting it here as well.

This is the first time I've ever made a transcript, so there may be mistakes, bits of narration I missed, or things I could've formatted / described better. Please let me know if you notice a way I could improve this in any way!

Feel free to copy, repost, and make edits to this transcript! That's encouraged even, I'd love for more people to be able to find and use it. Up to you if you want to credit me, I don't feel strongly about it.

The full transcript is below the cut, it's around 4,500 words long in total. It goes through the game's narration zone by zone; then at the end I've included pictures of the hidden memories, and lyrics for the songs "Lost to the Waves" and "Fear the Dark".

START

Intro

[close up on Naija’s face] Naija: The Verse flows throughout Aquaria… Through each ripple and wave… Through every living being… The Verse binds us all as one.

The Verse binds us, narrator and explorer. My story will become your own, and yours will become mine.

You will live my life through my eyes… … And you will learn the truth.

[panning across the starting cave, Naija sits on a rock] Naija: As far back as I can remember, I came to this place to think. This cave was my sanctuary. Here, the Verse was so focused that I could feel it humming in the stones around me. If I called out in song, the cave and its creatures would dance to my tune.

If I had stayed there, I might have found peace… But eventually, loneliness… and restlessness… drove me away.

Movement Tutorial

[while swimming through cave with armored fish] When confronted with a dangerous situation, I was wise to use the full range of my physical abilities to avoid it. With a powerful thrust of my legs, my webbed feet would propel me forward… … Leaving my pursuers in my wake.

Shield Song Tutorial

Naija: As I sang, I could feel the Verse flowing through me… Certain songs stirred the Verse deeply, causing changes in the surrounding waters.

The first song I had discovered would wrap the verse around me… … Protecting me from environmental dangers.

Shrouded Figure Appears

[World darkens, shrouded figure appears] Naija: In all my memory, every day had been like every other. If she had not appeared before me in that moment… … I might have stayed in those watters for the rest of my days … … Living as a simple creature … … But I was compelled to follow.

[phantom lady touches Naija’s forhead]

[flashes of song cave and energy temple]

[vision of Naija in energy form, navigating past monsters in the dark]

[Phantom lady disappears] The strange form faded before my eyes… …Perhaps I’d only dreamed her. But I was no longer the same. That vision…

I’d lived as a feral creature, not thinking beyond the simplest desires… … Until now.

As if from a dream, I awoke to the reality of my existence. To the fact that I was… alone.

I knew that this world was called Aquaria, and that my name was Naija… … But I could recall nothing else.

Was I the only one of my kind left? Was I destined to live out the rest of my days in solitude?

My heart ached for answers… … in time … … I would discover far more than I wished to learn …

Entering Home Cave

I was enveloped by warm light, as familiarity overwhelmed me. …I had come home…

Cooking Tutorial

There were many strange ingredients to be found in the waters of Aquaria. By cooking them together with the verse, I could create new foods. Some of my recipes proved to be very useful.

THE SONG CAVE

Entering The Song Cave

In these ancient ruins, lay the untold histories of Aquaria. With exploration and preserverence, I would rediscover long lost knowledge.

Finding the Ancient Door

The ancient door stood tall and resolute. It was ornately decorated with swirling patterns. But did not provide an obvious means for opening. I would have to search these waters to find its secret.

Discovering the Crystal

The crystal was not like the others I had encountered. In its depths, I could sense the presence of something… Alive. I was compelled to move closer.

[touches crystal, spirit appears] In a brilliant flash, an odd creature had emerged from the crystal.

Her gaze penetrated my soul, and though she did not speak… I could hear her words echoing inside my head, as clear as the waters around me… … It was beautiful.

Glimpses of her memories flashed in my mind, and threatened to overwhelm me… I closed my eyes, and felt for one brief moment… …That I was connected to all of history.

When I opened them again, the creature was gone.

[learned the bind song] From the imprisoned soul, I inherited a new song. By binding the verse around physical objects… … I would be able to move them through the waters with ease.

ENERGY TEMPLE

Entering Energy Temple

Pulling the obstruction aside, I glided forward… … Peering into the cavernous depths.

No matter my hesitations, I would have to continue into this darkness.

Gained Energy Form

Where blood had flowed through me, now ran a stream of pure power. A new passion enthralled me. My mind reeled at the dark gift I was granted.

If I sang the song of this deceased god… I would become… a being of pure energy.

In this form I could sense the lines of energy that flowed throughout the waters.

Using my mind as a flint, I could spark a projectile… … That would leap towards anything that dared impede my progress.

Form Changing Tutorial

I discovered that in the Energy Form, I could not call out in song.

To return, I would have to focus my energy inward…

Krotite Vision

[After defeating the beast at the end of the Energy Temple]

As the creature fell, I sensed a presence reach into my mind… …Another vision began.

A race, known as the Krotites, had built this temple to worship this fallen god. They’d honored raw power above anything else.

Unlike the spirit I’d encountered in the crystal, these people had no interest in creation. They reveled in destruction. Their lust for power led not only to the downfall of their civilization… … But also the destruction of another. Now… this destructive power simmered within me.

OPEN WATERS

Entering Open Waters

The rush of new waves greeted my ears as I glided into undiscovered waters.

Though a chapter of my life had ended, my journey was far from over.

Discovering Fallen Statue

I discovered a fallen statue of a race that resembled my own. Though it had collapsed from many years of decay, it still marked the way to those that had built it. Perhaps if I followed, I would find more of my kind.

MITHALAS

Reading Entrance Tablet

A fractured tablet lay nearby - I stared at it… …and though I didn’t understand how, I could read what it said. This had been a city called Mithalas.

An entire city, in ruin… … were there no survivors?

Entering Throne Room

I had glided into the chambers of a former ruler… From what I could gather from a nearby portrait, this room belonged to a young prince of Mithalas.

Were these people my ancestors? Or did I merely wish - desperately - to be one of them.

Entering Princess’s Room

The princess of Mithalas had lived here. I wondered if I’d been here once upon a time. I fancied myself ruling here in ages past - with a faithful prince at my side.

Entering First Flesh Tunnel

The twisted, disgusting creatures swam ungainly towards me. In their shallow eyes I saw only a hunger for flesh.

With horror, I realized the resembled the fallen statue that had led me here.

Entering Corrupted Cathedral

Sickly red veins ran throughout this ancient cathedral. Where hopeful believers had once come to rejoice, foul monsters now thrived.

Killed Final Core

I killed the final rotted core of this wretched cathedral, And tears welled up in my eyes.

With every creature I destroyed - every ancient being I put to rest, I felt a part of myself slip away. It was not only that I had caused the destruction… … but that i had …

… enjoyed it.

I feared this nightmare would never end, and I would be drawn into a spiral of dementia.

Perhaps I would never find my family, but there had to be someone… …Someone to keep me from the darkness.

Mithalan Vision

[After Defeating Mithala]

Mithalas… As it once was… A grand city built by a noble people, and watched over by a royal family. They were all children of a god named Mithala.

The Mithalans immortalized their god’s noble visage in stone, and built many statues honoring him throughout Aquaria.

For hundreds of years, the city of Mithalas stood strong… …Providing its inhabitants with long, fulfilling lives.

If only the vision had ended there… If only every mithalan had been noble…

With the comforts and safety of the city, came a new calling… eternal life. The Mithalan Priests, who acted as Mithala’s mouthpiece, saw the coming of a greater god.

A creator, who had designed and given life to each of the gods. A creator that would eventually destroy their entire race, as he had many others.

The priests delved deeper into the hidden secrets of the verse to escape the bonds of mortality. But the powerful magic they discovered came with a high cost.

They bound Mithala in chains. And began drawing out his life force to power their song.

They executed “heretics” one by one. Forcing Mithala to feast… upon his own children.

Mithala began to change. His mind sank into the simple, dull anger of a beast. Eventually, he stopped shedding tears as he ate. The hunger had consumed him.

The rot inside of Mithala’s heart grew. His body became bloated and deformed. His flesh began to spread throughout the city, polluting the waters.

Drask, the Prince of the Mithalans had seen his family die at the hands of the priests and their mutated disciples. He confronted the priests, and though he could not prevent their escape, he did discover their secrets.

I wondered if he still lived somewhere… beyond this world.

Talking to Mithala

The vision began to fade, Mithala’s spirit was departing. For the first time I tried to reach out… to communicate…

Naija: Oh great Mithala! I need your help…

Mithala: Naija… I am dying now… It is my time to rest…

Naija: You have suffered so much, but I must ask a favor of you.

Mithala: Speak quickly, little one… For I do not have much longer…

Naija: Wh-who am I?

Mithala: You are the child of the thirteenth. You are the one who will unite the waters of aquaria. You will restore the balance of nature. And you will find love, Naija. You have so much to see, and you will become so much. There will be great pain… … But I have faith that you will triumph in the end. Take heart, little one.

Naija: …Thank you…

Mithala: It is growing cold, now… You have freed my spirit at last… …Now… Little Naija… take my form… …And journey… To the land of the light…

Gained Beast Form

In beast form, my strong animal legs allowed me passage through powerful currents. And my sharp, jagged teeth, provided invaluable for devouring my prey.

Gained Spirit Form

[After defeating the priests] After singing the song of the spirit form, I would detach from my mortal frame - and enter a land between the living and the dead. Thankfully, I could only hold this form for brief distances - I did not wish to linger in that cold world long.

THE VEIL

Entering the Veil

These bright waters were warm and terrifying. The thought occured to me that I’d reached the end of the world. What if all that awaited me was a blazing inferno?

Though my mind was terrified… …my heart longed to venture further.

Crossing The Veil

The first taste of air, the warm embrace of the sun on my back… …The wind flowing beneath me… … I’d crossed through the veil.

For too many years I’d been smothered beneath the surface, blind to the beauty of Terra.

Meeting Li

I’d finally cornered the strange looking creature... He tried to flee from me again, but my curiosity was too great to allow his escape.

…

[Naija moves closer] He seemed to be trapped in this odd looking shell… …Perhaps if I removed it…

[Naija sings to remove Li’s helmet, he clutches at his throat and starts to drown] I was surprised to find that underneath this boy’s shell… He had a face not unlike my own. A face that seemed… familiar…

Without knowing what I was doing, I floated forward, pressing my lips against his.

A tune lept to my throat - one embedded deep within my memory. The verse flowed through me… …And bound itself around us.

Hours, days… perhaps seconds passed. I’d lost all concept of time. There was only the verse… and…

Li. His name rang in my head. This creature was called Li. We were so similar, and yet - not. I was intrigued.

The Verse waned slowly… …And we drifted apart until there was nothing but water between us.

Li gazed at me through half closed eyes. He seemed at peace… My mind faded…

[Naija awakes on the floor of Li’s cave] Slowly, I awoke… For a moment I had no idea where I was. Li returned, and I remembered…

It was odd to think that I was the only person left alive. I was aware of every flaw in my appearance - I felt exposed. Color rose to my cheeks and I struggled to hid my shame.

My connection to Li allowed him to exist within the waters without his awkward shell. It had also given him a new appetite for the creatures of the water.

[Li offers Naija a fish. they go to eat fish together on beds of moss] As he ate, I could tell he was excited with his new abilities. We realized that we’d both ventured out to find answers…

We left that place knowing that together, We would be able to explore further than either of us could on our own.

For the first time in all my memory… … I was not alone.

Lumerian Vision

[After beating the boss at the end of the Sun Temple]

The Lumerians had left the waters of their birth… …For the bright, warm currents of the Veil.

Awed by their new surroundings, Many of them came to worship the great sphere of light, known as “Sun” With their adventurous spirit, came new ingenuity.

They learned to design elaborate mechanisms… …To survive in the foreign environment.

The god who bore them grew jealous of this sacrilege… …And in a blind rage… …destroyed them all.

Gaining Sun Form

In the sun form, I gained the ability to focus the verse into rays of light… …bringing clarity to shadowed depth.

KELP FOREST

Entering Kelp Forest

Never before had I encountered such a lush environment. Countless diverse creatures flowed between the tall stalks of kelp. I could not help but be awed by the infinite beauty of the natural world.

Gaining Fish Form

By entering the fish form, I became one with the simple creatures of Aquaria. I could swim past some of my enemies without detection, And navigate small passageways with ease.

Druniad Vision

The druniads lived in peace for many years, living in harmony with nature… …Until one day, without warning, they experienced true fear for the first time.

A greater god, one with immense power, was ashamed of his creations. Through anguished tears, he screamed out, tearing the druniads apart in his turmoil.

Though he slaughtered their entire race, he could not bear to kill their mother… …And so, I had come to inherit her power.

Gaining Nature Form

Bark encased my skin, and moss sprouted from my back and head. In this form, the natural world whispered to me… …And I could feel the promise of creation stirring within.

Forest Sprite Cave

The forest nymphs rested, for their mother had imparted her gift to me. Now they sang a sweet melancholic verse. “Summer’s passion fades to Fall, and with Fall comes the hope of Winter.”

At the time I had no idea what it meant.

THE ABYSS

Entering the Abyss

Many deadly creatures lay waiting in the darkness of the Abyss. It would take a great deal of courage to proceed without a source of light.

Entering Sunken Ruins

Li was particularly excited by these ruins… …It was as if he recognized them.

They did not look like the work of Aquarians. I suspected that they were from beyond the Veil. Perhaps Li’s world was destroyed as well…

Following Ghost Child

[They find a ghost child crying, and then follow him through the ruins]

[The child enters a dark cave]

The ghostly child slipped away from me into the shadows. I felt that he must have known the path to the heart of these ruins… …but he was afraid.

I would have to lead him out of the darkness.

[Naija uses her Light Form to lead the ghost boy out. a ghostly form of his mother is on the other side, and begins to sing]

[The ghost child cries at the base of a dead tree. A ghost girl stands nearby in a patch of flowers. Naija uses her Nature Form to create a trail of flowers, leading the girl to the boy. She strokes his head, and he runs off again]

[Ghosts of other children are throwing rocks at the ghost child. A deep laugh is heard, and the other children turn into monsters. Naija defeats them with her energy form.]

[Naija sings the mother’s song to open a door further into the ruins]

[Naija drops rocks at the boy’s feet and he turns them into a statue of a woman with fins for ears. then two monsters appear]

Defeating the Monsters

From the fallen body of the monsters rose two spirits: A father… and a mother…

It was then that ---

[A portal appears, along with that same deep laughter. a tentacle emerges from it and wraps around Li, pulling him in. Naija calls after him]

Just like that… After so much… I was alone again. I felt empty… hopeless… For a moment - I considered giving up. What was the use?

But that feeling gave way to a boiling anger. Though it scared me to have such thoughts, I knew that I would hunt down that dark creature… …And kill it.

I would not be alone again.

[The ghost child follows Naija to the end of the ruins, and points the way forward into The Body]

THE BODY

[Li is imprisoned in a chamber inside the body]

Gathering Spirits

[Prince crystal] The spirit of the Prince of Mithalas…

[Krotite crystal] The spirit of a Krotite warrior…

[Erulian Crystal] The spirit of an Erulian Messenger…

[Druniad Crystal] The spirit of a Druniad from the Kelp Forest…

[After gathering the spirits, they help Naija shatter Li’s prison]

Gained Dual Form

In Dual Form, Li and I would bond together to become one new being. Our combined form had two sides, and by using each side properly- We could unleash a devastating attack.

Meeting The Creator

He spoke… …And his voice was forever burned into my memory… …In perfect… …Detail…

Creator: Your darkness is mine, little one. Your life is mine. I created all that you have witnessed… …And though you have struggled and fought… …It is all for nothing.

This world is my canvas. I will paint upon it whatever I see fit, Until I have completed my… masterpiece.

You, little Naija, are flawed. But you come from one who is - Perfection.

You will be my companion for the rest of eternity. You will have the honor of witnessing my final masterpiece.

Naija: But I am a conscious being, with my own hopes and desires… …I do not belong to you.

Creator: Yet it all sprang from my mind - my efforts! Ungrateful one! Bow before me and worship your creator!

Naija: No, I will not. I have lived free… I’ve explored beyond -

Creator: You have been allowed to play in my world. Now your turn is over. You will love me, and nothing else.

Naija: But have you ever truly loved? Has anyone ever willfully loved you?

Creator: YOU LOVE AN ABERRATION! A FOUL SYMBOL OF CHAOS!

Naija: Why does such a small creature frighten you so? Perhaps you’re not as powerful as you claim.

Perhaps… You can only control what lies in the water.

Creator: FOOL! I am a… GOD!

Naija: Perhaps you dream to be… …But I will never worship you.

Creator: Then… You must die.

Defeated The Creator

Child: On that day… …Everything changed… Everyone I ever loved was taken away in an instant… I should have died with them… Instead I was brought back.

The spirit that gave me life stayed inside me. It became a part of me

I had so much power… I could create anything I desired. I was so lonely… so I tried to make friends… …But they had minds of their own… …It made me jealous… …I wanted to feel loved again…

I remembered the time I felt the happiest… My mother’s song… So simple.. So beautiful… I could never remember the chorus… Only the Verse…

…It haunted me… I tried to get rid of the song… But it only spread through everything I made.

So I tried to make her… She was so beautiful in my mind… …But the ones I brought back were never the same. …Until I made Mia… …But she was too perfect… …She left me… and she made you…

There are still many things you don’t know Naija… …You may still be able to find her…

There’s been so much anger… so much beauty… …For hundreds of years… …But it all feels like a dream… …I think it’s time to stop dreaming now… …Sing me to sleep… …Sing to me like she did…

[Naija and Li pick themselves off the floor and leave The Body.] [Life returns to different parts of Aquaria]

THE END

As the waters flowed past me, I could feel my mind sinking away from adventure… …to a husband… …to a family…

Though my long journey was complete, and the world restored to the balance of nature… …I could not help but be drawn back, time and again… …To the vivid memories of my adventures.

The strange and marvelous places I had visited… …The fantastic creatures I had encountered… …And the spirits I had freed.

Perhaps a part of me still lingered in the past… …Floating amongst the shadows of forgotten ages.

I longed for the feeling of discovering new waters… …Striving for a destination that lay just beyond the next wave.

It would never come again.

MEMORIES

[Note: none of the memories have narration, so I've included descriptions & images of them instead since they're important to the story]

1, Mithalas

In a room in Mithalas, Naija and her mother sit at a kitchen table together.

2, The Veil

Li stands in a boat. Naija swims up to him and waves, then laughs and swims away. He stares after her in amazement.

3, The Abyss

Baby Naija in a cradle in a dark cave. Her mother kneels by her side.

SECRET ENDING

[Mia appears as the shrouded figure, then aside the shroud and reveals herself]

Mia: Naija… you’ve finally arrived.

Naija: Finally? Who are you? M-mother?

Mia: I have a name you know. Mia, he used to call me. His perfect little creation.

Naija: Mother… I…

Mia: Shhh… Come here…

[Mia and Naija hug]

Mia: Quiet now. All is well. He’s dead.

Naija: I-I killed him. But he was just a little boy!

Mia: Little boys are trouble, Naija.

Naija: I searched so long to find you… …Why didn’t you tell me who you were?

Mia: Oh Naija you silly girl. I always knew where you were. I was the one that wiped your memory.

Naija: What… why?

Mia: It’s quite simple. You never would have become what you are now if I hadn’t.

Naija: What I am now… I’m a mother. A mother with a family!

Mia: Hmmhmm… Naija Naija… You’re in love with a human… One could hardly call a human a real person. No, no… you and I are meant for greater things my child. A mother… hah.

Naija: Let me go.

Mia: Oh no my dear… What would you do? Spend the rest of your life underwater? Burping babies and changing diapers? It’s time we rose above it all, my child. There are much greater worlds above ripe for the taking. With our power combined… We’ll be unstoppable.

Naija: Mia, I’m done. I’m done with fighting, I’m done with killing… I just want to go back to my family!

Mia: Heheheh… Silly girl. You crave adventure. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t have ended up here. Constantly searching, seeking out answers and killing… It’s what you do my dear.

Naija: No. Let me go back… Let me go!

Mia: Oh… there, there. It’ll probably be easier for me if I remove your conciousness for a time. Ah, there we are. We wouldn’t want anyone tracing any more of your memories now… …would we… There’s a good girl…

[Naija’s child views her memories via a crystal, and sets off in a flying ship to find her]

SONG LYRICS

Note: I tried to write down the lyrics to the songs Lost to the Waves, which plays in the end credits; and Fear the Dark, which is included in the official soundtrack but does not play in the game itself.

I've done my best, but I don't have a lot practice with this. It was difficult to understand some parts of the lyrics, especially parts where words overlap, and there may be a few mistakes.

Lost to the Waves

Lost at the heart of sea Memories drift away The past but a shade Lost to the waves

My journey here A lifetime ago And all that I was Is lost to the waves

Lost at the heart of sea (lost to the sea) Memories drift away (they sit there [?]) The past but a shade (past but a shade) Lost to the waves (lost to the waves)

My journey here (my journey) A lifetime ago (lifetime ago) And all that I was (all that I was) Is lost to the waves

Fear The Dark

[Note: This song is not in the game, but is a part of the official soundtrack]

[Also while I'm here I want to share this AMV I found for it cause I'm really happy it exists]

youtube

Lost to the memory Of a perfect soul Deep in the shadows Of unrelenting wounds Can't disappear Inside a dream When pain opens up your heart

You can fear the dark And hope for the light When you feel the pain inside You can cry out loud and pray for the dawn You'll find yourself in newborn eyes And burn away the foolish lies Of love

You can't remember Who you are When you wake up Alone in the dark The love you felt So far away Fled from the darkness of your soul

You can fear the dark And hope for the light When you feel the pain inside You can cry out loud And pray for the dawn You'll find yourself in newborn eyes And burn away the foolish lies Of love Love, love

We were always meant to be So you believed Love would never ever end Only a fool would watch as the stars Faded into winter snow Touched by the tears Of falling angels screaming out For one more chance To feel first love again Cursed with the memory of her breath

In the dark In the light In the cold heart beating out To find True love

In the cold In the heat In the fear that tomorrow never holds True love

In the dark (Lost at the heart of sea) In the light (Memories drift away) In the memories loving her in dreams (The past a shade) Of true love (Lost to the waves)

You're a fool (My journey here) You're a saint You are everything and nothing we lost (Lifetime ago) True love (Lost to the Waves) (All that I know)

Every time you Keep on crying Hope is dead

Yes we had love once Yes we had joy once Yes we had light once And we were one once Yes we were young once Yes we were fools once Yes we had love once You were my whole world You were my true friend You were my light and dark You were my everything

You took from me my life You took from me my worth You took from me my death Now I am nothing but

An empty soul In darkness crawling out An empty soul That once felt love

An empty soul In darkness spiraled out The lies and dreams we shared The key was in ourselves

If I can trust myself If I can heal our world If I can free the bonds of love

Then we can kill the ghost That haunts us everywhere The ghost of love that never loved The ghost of love that never loved

Fear the dark And hope for the light When you feel the pain inside You can cry out loud And pray for the dawn You'll find yourself in newborn eyes And burn away the foolish lies Of love Of love Of love

(art commission by the lovely and talented @curious-menace)

It is a time where I would like to see what my followers think about various concepts I have in mind pertaining to alternate versions of one my fics. It may take some time to write out any alternate versions since I've been busy and stressed out so much lately, but I am very curious as to what others would find intriguing to read.

But first, some backstory so be patient. We'll get to the voting at the end of this post.

I've been having a lot of bad days lately, and my mood has plummeted to a major low. This includes my self-esteem, which has always been in the dumps but is now basically a dumpster fire.

However, I don't want to be entirely cruel to myself. I deserve some sort of happiness, some sort of reprieve, and writing can be a good coping mechanism. I put a lot of my own thoughts, emotions, struggles, opinions, etc. into my works, as they serve as a way for me to get things off my chest. Sometimes, it's just cute and funny stuff, other times angsty but eventually fluffy stuff, and other times it's quite depressing and dark.

One fic, in particular, stands out, and that is the Mortal Kombat/Batman Arkhamverse crossover, "Volunteer," (trigger warnings: mentions psychological torture and suicide...more about this fic in a bit for those who would rather not read it because of those triggers) which features Arkham Knight Edward Nigma and Jonathan Crane, as well as a lady friend for Edward named Sara. It also features Erron Black and Cassie Cage from Mortal Kombat (Cassie is only mentioned in the story a few times).

If you read the blog intro/self-introduction post pinned at the top of my Tumblr, you know very well how I feel about Cassie Cage (particularly in MK11) and the Erron Black x Cassie Cage (BlackCage) pairing. Those negative feelings are mostly due to a very bad experience with a pushy BlackCage fan who just wouldn't relent one bit on their stance and it was emotionally and mentally draining to try and talk to them, including providing counter-arguments.

I've come up with alternate versions for "Volunteer" recently due to the spike in stress, depression, anxiety, and insecurities I've been dealing with as of late. This is where my followers come in!

I would like people to vote on which alternate take on "Volunteer" they would be interested in reading. Now, I can't guarantee when I'd get to it because, as I mentioned already, I've got a lot going on. However, I really want to try and write at least one alternate version of that fic, just to get some insecurities and negative thoughts off my chest.

Now, for those who are wary of reading "Volunteer" because of the trigger warnings, here's my advice: Just read the first chapter, if you want to. Chapter 2 deals directly with the sensitive subject matter, although, you can probably guess what happens anyway just by reading Chapter 1 and if you know anything about Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow...well, he likes to mess with people...mentally. To put it very mildly.

Now it's time for the voting. I have three different scenarios I've come up with that are variations/alternate versions of the current "Volunteer" fic's concept/storyline. I'd like followers to select 1 (one) alternate telling of the fic. I will open anonymous asks again, so if you are shy or just want your vote to remain a secret for some other reason, then that's fine by me. Otherwise, you can reply to this post with your choice.

Edit: if you are turned off by the idea of a Mortal Kombat/Batman Arkhamverse crossover, I get it. I don't read crossover fics myself, and that's usually because the crossovers either make no sense or do make sense but the ideas are poorly executed.

This crossover I'm talking about, though, isn't a full-on crossover of MK and Batman. There's no world-building, no larger plot, and no other characters in MK even appear or are mentioned except Erron Black and Cassie Cage.

If anything, it's more of a Batman Arkhamverse standard AU with Riddler and a female oc, and Erron and Cassie are the only concrete elements of MK brought in. I mean, yes, the other MK characters exist, I guess, but they have no purpose in this crossover I've written, and won't make any appearances.

So, if you had any concerns about the crossover aspect, I hope this clears things up

Choices below the cut!

A) "Don't You Wish"

This version is inspired by a song from Pink, called, "There You Go." In this alternate telling, Erron manages to survive Scarecrow's fear toxin, and escape (most likely because Erron is out of his mind and panicking, thus not a threat, and he has no one to help him, so Scarecrow doesn't give a damn what happens to the dude). The first thing Erron does is go to Sara's place, having already broken up with Cassie after realizing dating her was a mistake, and Sara means more to him than he thought.

Well, it's been several months since Sara basically pushed Erron out of her life for his poor choice in women, and (Arkham Knight) Edward Nigma has proven to be a much better (and, wiser and more sensible -- yes, I know, but he's not a skirt chaser, Guys) friend to Sara. While Erron ran off with a blonde selfie princess, Edward offered genuine comfort and companionship, and now Sara has been in the process of moving on from Erron even further.

Sara humors Erron and lets him tell her -- while sounding terrified, confused, and conflicted beyond belief thanks to the fear toxin -- what happened to him. Now, Sara doesn't know Edward asked Scarecrow to take care of Erron as a means of getting revenge for her. Doesn't matter anyway. She's unsympathetic towards Erron's plight, feeling as if he didn't even give her a chance to confess her feelings towards him, nor did he even seem to notice how she felt; it was like he was too busy with thinking with his privates to realize he had someone in front of him who would have treated him better.

Sara tells Erron -- in a flat, disinterested tone -- that his situation is tragic and all but wtf is she supposed to do? Why not go to his dumb blonde gf? Oh, they broke up? Well, how predictable. And Crane is also a (sort of) friend to Sara, which shocks Erron and leaves him feeling worse than before.

Sara sends Erron on his way, and he wanders off in a daze, unsure of what to do with his life now.

Sara and Edward meet the next day, and they have a pleasant time, obviously moving towards becoming a couple. She chooses not to mention Erron as she is completely severing the cowboy from her life.

B) "I Don't Even Miss You"

This alternate telling is similar to the previous one, but this time it's inspired by a Miley Cyrus song, "WTF Do I Know" (Hey, her Plastic Hearts album is actually fantastic!), and Edward is with Sara when Erron arrives at her place in a distressed state. At first, Sara deals with Erron in the hall of her apartment building, unsympathetic to his plight and basically telling him, "I told you so," and "too bad." Erron is getting more and more upset, even angry at Sara's callous tone, and starts to raise his voice, demanding to know why she is being so cold at a time like this?

Edward overhears Erron raising his voice to Sara, giving her a difficult time, and he gets pissed. Edward steps out into the hall and not only mocks Erron in various ways, but demands that he leave immediately, or what Scarecrow did will seem like a trip to Disney Land. Erron has caused Sara -- who is currently moving on and growing closer to Edward -- enough problems and heartache.

Edward reveals he set up Erron, and while Sara is stunned to find this out, she handles it better than expected. Edward said it was his way of getting revenge for her, and he'd do it again if need be. Erron is sent away feeling so much worse, feeling lost, hopeless, and betrayed.

Sara and Edward talk and she admits she's upset that he did something like this without speaking about it to her first. However, he explains that he genuinely did it for her and he doesn't want her to feel pain at the hands of some "idiotic cowman," who doesn't consider the feelings of others and who behaves like a greedy, violent Neanderthal. (And yes, Edward does care for Sara, and he didn't send Scarecrow after Erron out of jealousy -- maybe a little jealousy but it was mostly rage over Erron causing Sara so much emotional pain)

Sara means more to Edward than he can express, and he may not be the best when it comes to emotions, but he does care about her and wants her to be safe.

Sara forgives Edward, understanding that, through his heartfelt but very nervous and shy confession that he is sincere about his feelings for her, and they make amends. She of course tells him to never do something so extreme without consulting her first, though, because what happened to Erron -- while she doesn't care what happens to him in the slightest -- was a bit too much.

C) "Listen When the Devil's Calling"

Another title inspired by a Miley Cyrus song, "Night Crawling," and this alternate telling involves Telltale Riddler and no Scarecrow. Almost a year has passed since Erron went with Cassie and Sara, out of bitterness and heartache, refused to speak or see him. This didn't sit well with him as she was his only friend, and his relationship with Cassie dies within a few months.

He goes looking for Sara, realizing she has moved out of her apartment. It doesn't take him long to find out where she is, and she's with The Riddler, a notorious criminal genius and one of Gotham's elite villains. Erron is worried for Sara and seeks her out.

Turns out, Sara's just fine. This isn't one of those scenarios where the girl is with a guy who just using her and taking advantage of her vulnerability. No, Edward does actually love her and takes good care of her. He finds people like reckless, selfish, and ignorant people like Erron to be a disgrace but also amusing because of how pathetically primitive they are.

Edward also doesn't appreciate how Erron pushed aside a good thing in Sara to pursue a girl who is a social media brat and has more selfies on her phone than brain cells in her, well, brain. It defies all logic to Edward, but he's also not surprised because of how much of a disappointment Erron is as a human being (hey, this is Riddler we're talking about, and he's not one to be sweet and gentle to those he can't stand). Edward doesn't say these things out loud, though, as it's a bit too vulnerable and personal for him to do such a thing with someone he doesn't know or trust.

Sara is upset that Erron has resurfaced and she remembers how heartbroken she was when he went after Cassie Cage. She wants Erron to leave her alone like she asked, so she can move on. She can't trust him anymore, because he's just a skirt chaser in her eyes.

Erron tries to plead his case, tries to apologize to Sara, and expresses how he really feels, but this just distresses her further. Edward steps in and tells Erron he's done enough to Sara, she clearly doesn't want to see him, and he needs to take his leave.

This isn't a request.

Edward pulls Erron aside, telling the cowboy that the only reason he's going to walk away from this alive is that Sara hasn't asked for him to be killed. Should she tell Edward to take care of Erron, well, you all know what Telltale Riddler is like.

And those are the three variations on "Volunteer."

If you could be so kind as to:

leave a comment with your choice or

send an ask (even an anon ask) with your choice or

suggest your take on this story.

I'd appreciate it immensely!

Thank you all so much for supporting me and my writing and being patient with my sluggish publishing schedule!

My predictions for Felix’s role in season 4

A few episodes into season 4 (possibly episode 9 as we know that’s the episode titled Gabriel Agreste), Felix will return to stay with the Agrestes while Amelie has to go on a ling business trip. As to why Amelie is having Felix stay with the Agrestes in Shadow Moth-ridden Paris instead of having him stay with relatives back in London, I have a couple of explanations:

1. Just because London doesn't to deal with Hawk Moth, that doesn't mean London doesn't have its own supernatural problems. Zagtoon has a series in the works called Miss Rose, which is about a magical spy and this series will do with crossover with Miraculous in the upcoming London special, so it stands to reason, that London has just as much supernatural drama as Paris, if not moreso. Therefore, Felix probably has to deal with supernatural threats regardless of where he is, but at least in Paris, the damage caused by akumas and sentimonsters can be reversed by Ladybug.

2. Felix’s paternal relatives have sort of lost interest in Felix following the death of his father for reasons that I’ll explain later in the post (though u can probably already guess if u read my post about a possible return of Chat Blanc).

After Amelie leaves for her business trip, Gabriel asks Felix to meet with him in private. Gabriel then confronts Felix about the ring he stole. Felix tries to deny it, but Gabriel calls him out of his bullshit. Felix then states that Gabriel doesn’t deserve the Graham de Vanily rings and ask him if he even know the story of said rings. Gabriel says no, so Felix then proceeds to tell the story that Amelie told him. Felix tells him that when worn together, they give the wearer special powers. Gabriel then realizes how similar this sounds to the miraculous, particularly the Bat Miraculous he read about in the Grimoire. So he then takes off the ring he’s wearing and asks Felix to put it on to see if the story is true. So Felix puts on the ring, takes out the ring he stole out of his pocket, and puts it on his other hand. When he does this, a bat kwami appears.

After silently kicking himself for not realizing sooner that he had a third miraculous literally on hand this whole time, Gabriel then takes Felix down to the basement. Felix is pretty weirded by this, and Gabriel then asks him if he remembers the deal he made with Hawk Moth. Felix responds “how could u possibly know that... oh crap you’re Hawk Moth aren’t u?” Gabriel confirms that he is and transforms into Hawk/Shadow Moth. Shadow Moth then asks Felix to use the bat miraculous to help him in his quest for the ladybug and cat miraculous. Felix (after getting over the initial shock that his uncle is Hawk/Shadow Moth) is hesitant because while Felix had offered to help Hawk Moth back in his intro episode, that was before the NY special (AKA the one where Hawk Moth threatened to start a nuclear war, not to mention having Mayura have a sentimonster wreck Paris then recall said sentimonster before Ladybug could fix the damage). Shadow Moth then proceeds to change back into Gabriel and show Felix Emilie’s coffin.

Gabriel the proceeds to explain to Felix (and the audience) that Emilie had been using the damaged Peacock miraculous (ok we already knew that, but we still don't know how, and I hope that episode 9 will be the episode we find out via flashbacks). After the explanation, Felix then agrees to help Gabriel, but asks him refrain from trying to start another nuclear war (and to also stop akumatizing August. Not only is it really fucked up to akumatize a baby, but it also proven ineffectual).

The next episode mark the debut not only Bat!Felix, but Swan!Lila (for those who haven't read some fo my earlier posts, I predicted a while back that the Swan Island location that was announced a sometime ago will be home to the Swan Miraculous, which Gabriel will get his hands on and give it to Lila). Throughout season 4 (and probably season 5) Lila and Felix will team up both in and out of costume to cause all sorts of trouble (with Felix only wearing the twin rings when he’s about to transform into Bat!Felix while he wears the ring he already had prior to his debut in his civilian life, this helps throw Ladybug off his trail). However, unlike Lila who has almost everyone fooled (save for Marinette, Adrien, and probably Alya now), a good chunk of Adrien’s classmates will be wary of Felix because of the prank he pulled back in his debut episode. Marinette will especially cautious of him because of the shit she saw him pull while she was Ladybug. That said, some classmates r willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume the “impersonating Adrien to make them think he didn't like them” thing was an grief-induced isolated incident that he feels remorseful about (and I can see Rose being among the classmates to give him that benefit of the doubt, as she’s very trusting). He will still get along with Adrien for the most part =, at least in public. Also at some point in this season, we will also be introduced to Adrien and Felix’s maternal grandfather, an actor and film producer who comes from old money.

Around episode 20 of season 4, Felix will then confide in his kwami about his backstory. At his dad’s funeral his paternal grandmother revealed that he was not the biological son of said dad and that this grandmother only tolerated Felix for her son’s sake but now sees no point in acknowledging Felix now that his dad was dead. After the funeral, Felix asked Amelie is what his grandmother said about his dad not being his biological father true. As it turns out, Felix is actually the son of Emilie and Gabriel and Adrien’s twin brother. When Emilie was pregnant, Gabriel’s career hadn't taken off yet and they were financially struggling enough so that they couldn’t take care of more than 1 child. Around the same time, Amelie and her husband were struggling with infertility. So when Emilie found out she was having twins, she decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by letting Amelie secretly adopt 1 of her twins (or at least this is Emilie told Amelie; based on the interactions between Gabriel and Felix in the latter’s debut episode, I’m assuming that Gabriel isn't aware of Felix being his bio son and that Emilie convinced him that his Amelie just happened to get pregnant at the same time she did). This lead to Felix to become envious of Adrien for being the one Emilie apparently chose to keep. He also started to resent Gabriel for failing to realize that he was his biological son (because it’s pretty obvious, even if Emilie and Amelie r twins, the idea of them having identical-looking sons around the same time is pretty improbable, especially since the color of Felix’s hair and eyes is more consistant with with Emilie and Adrien than Amelie, so Felix is certain that Gabriel knows on some level he's his bio son (but Felix doesn't want to tell him until after Emilie has been revived as he fears Gabriel finding out any sooner that Emilie hid hid this from him might lead to him giving up his plans to revive her). While bat kwami can sympathize with Felix’s angst about all this family drama (plus the bat Kwami hates Gabriel's guts for obvious reasons unrelated to the twin drama), the bat kwami points out to Felix that Adrien didn’t any more of the say in matter of which twin Emilie gave to Amelie than Felix and that given Gabriel’s controlling nature, Emilie may have done Felix a favor by giving him to Amelie and her husband instead allowing him to be raised by Gabriel. This causes Felix’s resentment towards Adrien to die down a bit... until he finds out Chat Noir’s true identity.

Somehow, Felix will begin o deduce/suspect that Adrien is Chat Noir. Since Felix knows Shadow Moth’s reasons for wanting the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous, he sees Adrien being Chat Noir as a huge betrayal and decides then and there to destroy Adrien one and for all. The bat kwami tries to talk some sense into Felix, only for Felix to renounce him and place the bat miraculous in his pocket and put his civilian ring back on (which I headcanon as having belonged to his deceased adoptive father). He then asks Gabriel to akuamtize him into a superior version of Chat Noir. Shadow Moth is confused by this, but complies, and the akuma goes into Felix’s civilian ring, transforming him into the new Chat Blanc (if this sounds familiar, that’s probably because I wrote another post predicting that Felix will become the new Chat Blanc. He proves powerful enough for Ladybug and Chat Noir to bring out several temp heroes, but the heroes eventually manage to defeat him. Also during the battle, Shadow Moth overhears Chat Blanc 2.0 refer to Chat Noir as Adrien and Shadow Moth explains to Chat Blanc 2.0 that he saw Chat Noir and Adrien at the same place at the same time back in Gorizilla, and after the battle Chat Noir (thinking that Felix had been unwillingly akumatized and thus wouldn't remember what Shadow Moth told him) assures Felix that he and Adrien r separate people. Felix then goes home and un-renounces the bat kwami. Meanwhile, in order to ensure Felix believes that Chat and Adrien r different people, Chat Noir later approaches Ladybug and tells her “Felix thinking that I might be his cousin reminds me. Someone in my family keeps asking me if I’m Chat Noir, and don’t seem to believe me when I say no. Can I please borrow the fox so I can throw them off their trail?” So Ladybug loans Chat the fox.

Later when Sabine is akumatized into Verity Queen and exposes Lila’s lies, she also finds out about how Lila framing Marinette back in “Ladybug” was partly motivated by Gabriel offering Lila a modeling contract in exchange for keeping Marinette away from Adrien. Confused as why Gabriel hates Marinette that much, she considers the possibility that maybe Lila fed him some lies about Marinette, but she decides to her lasso of truth on Grandpa Graham De Vanily (who happened to be in the tv studio with them as he and Lila were both scheduled for interviews) to get his opinion on Gabriel, this leads to a reveal that the the reason Emilie gave Felix to Amelie was not because she and Gabriel couldn't afford to raise more than 1 kid but because Grandpa Graham de Vanily forced Emilie to do so. You see when Amelie and her husband realized that they wouldn't be able to have biological children, they deciced to look into adoption. However, Grandpa Graham De Vanily loathed the idea of having a grandchild who wasn’t related to him by blood, so when the then-pregnant Emilie told her father she was having twins, grandpa Graham de Vanily (after asking Emilie is she already told Gabriel she was having twins yet, to which Emilie replied “not yet, he still thinks I’m just having 1 baby and I’ll tell him about the twins when he gets home) suggested that she give 1 of the twins to Amelie, then when Emilie said no on the grounds that she didn't want to choose between her kids, grandpa Graham de vanily threatened to use his connections to destroy Gabriel’s budding fashion career and make sure that he and Emilie couldn't get any kind of work needed to support their children. Bat!Felix (who made it to the studio in time to hear his grandfather’s confession, then asks Grandpa Graham de Vanily if Amelie was aware that Emilie had been coerced into giving her Felix, to which grandpa replies that he specifically told Emilie to not tell Amelie about the blackmail. And yes, this is when Gabriel finds out Felix is his biological son, and this would also be when Adrien (as Chat Noir) finds out Felix is his brother.

Amelie returns soon after this and she is pissed at her father for forcing Emilie to give up one of her babies.

Influencing the Influencer

By Hypnofur

“I have to say, I am loving retirement. This is my first year of being retired and it was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Everyone should retire at 36!” Dan joked into the microphone. The two radio guys laughed harder than they should have. While Dan knew that regular people couldn’t retire at 36, he wasn’t joking about loving retirement. He had been playing football since second grade. He enjoyed a 15 year career in the NFL. 13 of those years were in Cincinnati, but the last two were in Kansas City… where a SuperBowl was won in his last season.

Being part of a Super Bowl team, even as a backup like Dan was by the end of his career, makes you royalty in that city for the rest of time. Heck, ask the ’85 Bears about that. Especially in cities that love their team as much as KC. Dan always wanted to win one for Cincy, the city that he truly identified as home now, but that was never even close to being in the cards.

However, Dan was the only high profile guy from the Super Bowl team to retire after the big win. The rest of the guys pretty much stayed on the team, and were in the Super Bowl again this year. As such, all the KC radio and media people were desperate for a “Chiefs Insider” to talk to. Dan was flown down to Tampa for the week to do radio, tv, etc. He was considering a career in broadcasting, so this all-expense paid trip was a nice little trial run. The only downside of it, was that Casey didn’t come with him.

Dan’s wife was going to go to Tampa with him, and make a ton of Instagram videos and posts from Tampa. She was incredibly excited about it, as was the social media company that employed her to do all these blogs. Her sweetness, honesty, great style, and knockout natural beauty was evident to anyone who saw her, whether in real life or on a screen. She had sort of become “Cincy’s Sweetheart” over the years, so when influencers became a thing, she was in high demand. The Tampa vlogs were likely going to set records for likes. However, Dan’s mom broke her ankle in a fall the week before.

Casey insisted she stay home to help Dan’s mom. This is why Dan was head over heels for her. Yes, she was gorgeous. But she was also the sweetest, most wonderful wife in the world. While all the other players would have girlfriends and hook ups in each city, Dan never did. He was completely and utterly faithful to Casey.

With all this said, while Casey didn’t go to Tampa, she had to vlog about something. Trips to Dan’s Mom’s house during the day to help her out wouldn’t make good content. Such was the topic of conversation as the couple chatted on the phone Friday morning.

“So did you find anything to vlog about?” Dan asked.

“Ugh, I think so. They really want us to push groupon experience things. They gave DeAndra groupon passes to a comedy show, so we are going to do that.” Casey told her husband. She meant to sound a bit more cheery as she did so. She was trying so hard to not show her disappointment over not being in Tampa. She didn’t want to make him feel bad.

“Oh yeah, is Darnell going? If the dude is funny, the sound of Darnell’s laugh when he gets roaring is the only thing anyone in that place is going to hear! Hopefully the dude doesn’t make Bengals jokes. Darnell will get up on that stage!” Dan laughed, as did Casey.

“Did you drink tons of water last night?” Casey asked. She was always concerned about him.

“Hahah. I did. A whole river. I’m doing good. Three more days babe, then I am home to you. I miss you so much.” Dan said, very truthfully.

“Me too. I’ll tell DeAndra and Darnell you said hi” she smiled as she hung up.

Dan missed her terribly, but he was at least pleased that he’d have her vlog to watch later that night. He loved watching those. However, it was Friday night of Super Bowl week. Dan had a whirlwind day. He was treated like a Chiefs Legend because he was wearing that Super Bowl ring. He even got invited to a dinner with Joe Montana! He couldn’t pass that up. Dinner was great. Drinks were had, and not enough water was consumed. Dan passed out when he got back to the hotel.

It was late the next morning when Dan finally awoke. He realized that he had missed Casey’s Instagram vlog. He was surprised he didn’t have a text about that from her. He checked her Insta page. There wasn’t one from last night. That was really odd. He started to get a little nervous.

He texted her. “Hi, you ok? No vlog from last night?”

Fortunately, he got an immediate return text “Just filmed it this morning. Posting now J”

That put him at ease. He took a quick shower, and then grabbed his phone to see his beautiful wife’s angelic face. She was in her car. For some reason, that’s where people filmed themselves. Dan never understood why that was a thing.

“Hey guys, its Casey! Hope you are all having a great weekend! I know it is Super Bowl weekend, and that is super exciting for tomorrow! But, I wanted to tell you guys about a great experience me and my friends had thanks to groupon last night! My hubby is out of town, and I was feeling kind of sad, but then my friends called and said they had a groupon for an awesome experience. Totally changed the course of my weekend!

So we went to Funny Bone at Liberty Center, which is such a cute place! Anyway, my friend DeAndra told me the comedian was actually a stage hypnotist named Arnold Denton, aka The Amazing Hypno-natti. When I heard hypnotist, I was freaking out! Oh, and yeah, I found the name ‘Hypno-natti’ lame as well, but trust me guys, he is soooooo amazing!

So anyway guys, when we got in, I decided to put my fear aside and volunteer. Seriously guys, it was one of the craziest experiences I’ve ever had. Before we were even brought up on stage, we had to sign a waiver that basically said the hypnotist is not responsible for any injuries that may occur and all that other fun legal stuff. Guys, believe me when I tell you that I cannot recall a moment in my in my life that I was more nervous when I was up on that stage. The hypnotist explained to us, and the rest of the audience, that what we were about to experience was extremely different. Some of us would remember exactly what happened, and some of us wouldn’t. In total, there were probably about like twenty five of us lined up in front of the stage and the audience was told to be completely silent.

Right before we began, the hypnotist told us that we would be “under” for about a half an hour, but our bodies would react as if it had been asleep for 8 hours. So crazy! From what I can remember, it went a little like this:

We were told to sit down and just relax. With our eyes closed, we were told that we should feel this ‘energy of relaxation’ that would begin to pool at our feet and then work its way up to our body. All the while, there was this really strange music that was playing and the hypnotist was talking to us. After about 5 minutes he had us open our eyes and raise our arms horizontally and lock our fingers together so that we made a ball with our fists. At this point, we are still not under, so we were all aware of our surroundings and what not. Next thing I know, Hypno-natti is coming straight down the line and thrusting our hands down into our laps and pushing our heads down onto the shoulder of the person sitting to our left. It was about my turn and the last thing I can remember about this part is him yelling “Sleep!”

After the whole intro, we woke up and he was kind of pacing the stage and the audience was giggling and stuff and I can remember being super confused. I seriously thought that the show ended and I was actually asleep the whole time. As he was pacing, he was just casually talking to the audience and then he said “spark” (what I now know is a “trigger word”) and just like that it felt as though the wrath of God had come through the leg of the chair I was sitting in and electrocuted me in the butt! It hurt so bad; not like a long pain, but just like a jolt of electricity. I stood up so fast and everybody in the place was just rolling! I looked around and it was just me and another guy standing and grabbing our butts. He did this a couple more times and then triggered some of the other people and the whole time I just remember being super confused. At one point, I remember crying, because I had fallen deeply, madly in love with him, and he was dancing with someone else. It was soo crazy guys! Long story short, the hypnotist basiscally made us his personal puppets and we were slightly embarrassed, but it was all in good fun. My friends and I totally laughed about it all night after. It was a great experience that was all made possible through groupon!! Swipe up and see what other fun experiences they can save you a ton on. Luv you guys!!!” She concluded with a kiss of her fingers then the peace sign.

Dan loved to see her and hear her voice. He was wishing it wasn’t 48 full hours until he’d get to see her again. But it was. Those 48 hours went quickly at least. Frankly, it was a whirlwind. By the time he walked in the door of his spacious Cincinnati home Monday morning, he was exhausted – but so glad to hug, squeeze, and kiss his gorgeous brunette wife.

“Tell me everything!!” Casey said as she put some coffee on. She could tell by his face that he needed it.

Dan laughed as he admitted he exhausted. It had been quite a week of late night dinners, Super Bowl parties, and media work. It was terrific, but it wiped him out. However, he happily launched into his diatribe. He told her about all the radio shows he went on, and how he even did a couple TV spots. Casey squealed when he told her that he plugged her vlogs on all the local Cincinnati shows.

“ooooh My big media mogul!” Casey flirted. Her big brown eyes gazing into Dan’s. Then her phone beeped with a text, which was a constant occurrence. She grabbed it and checked the text. It was at this point that her expression changed. She became completely focused on the phone. It was like she suddenly forgot Dan was there.

“Who’s that?” Dan asked, realizing this was strange. Was someone hurt? Was something wrong? Casey didn’t answer. She just typed a couple things on her phone, and then walked upstairs, not even addressing Dan as she left. Dan found this very strange, but he also had to pee really bad. He figured he’d see what the deal was, but had to handle that situation briefly before anything else.

Much to his shock, by the time he got up to the bedroom, Casey was naked and wearing headphones. She was sprawled out on their bed, reclining in a mound of fur pillows. Naked and eyes closed with her blue bullet vibrator that they had bought as a sexy toy at their anniversary. Dan understandably figured that this was a “welcome home” sex game. He found himself immediately getting hard.

"I’m going deeper and deeper." Casey said quietly. Dan assumed she was talking about the vibrator going into her pussy. This was unusual sex talk from her, but he was still into it.

She moans, "Going deeper and deeper. I am deeply hypnotized. "

Dan was stunned. She was sooooooo freaking sexy with a nipple in one hand and that toy teasing the other one. But what did she say? Did she say hypnotized?

“Deeply hypnotized and deep under your control.” She whispers.

Dan heard that and got more concerned, but then couldn’t help but notice that he sound of the vibrator changed! She had turned up the setting. Soon, she was pinching her breasts and her hips are starting to rock slowly. She was moaning and purring. Dan was so hard he couldn’t think straight.

Casey turned the toy up to level 3; as fast as it goes. The next 4 settings are just various combinations of the 3 vibration speeds. Her hips were moving faster, her breasts were bouncing and she was having a hard time keeping the toy on her clit. Her teeth were clenched and she could feel the orgasm start to creep over her skin. . Her chest was heaving as she changed the setting on the toy again.

Slow, Slow, Slow, medium, medium, medium, fast, fast, fast

With hypnotic words and commands being fed into her mind, the orgasm raced up her torso and arched her body off the bed. Her neck muscles tightened and her eyes pinched shut as she screamed out loud and held the toy in place right on top of her clit.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOhHHHHHHHHHH, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I server Master Hypno-natti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I belong to Master Hypno-natti!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOHHHHMYGODMASTERRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Shock from Dan.

Awe from Dan.

Lust from Dan.

Fear from Dan.

Anger from Dan… and anger won.

He grabbed the headphones and ripped them off her. He yelled right into the microphone. “This is her husband, you sick fuck! Stay the fuck away from us, or I’ll rip your motherfucking arms off!!!!”

There was a click, and Dan knew that the person on the other end of that phone was gone. He turned his attention to Casey, who was now glistening with sweat, and still breathing heavy.

“Cay – Cay, wake up babe. Cay” he said, shaking his wife.

She eventually stirred, opened her big brown eyes and stared back at her husband. “Dan, what’s going on?” she asked.

“This is going to sound nuts, babe. But I think the hypnotist from the other night, like triggered you into masturbating for him on the phone.” Dan explained carefully. He wasn’t sure how his Catholic, surprisingly conservative wife would handle this manipulation.

He watched her face as the realization of what happened washed over her. He held his breath as he expected the tears to start rolling. Instead, she looked at him wide eyed. Then her beautiful big brown eyes slowly went down to his crotch.

“I missed you” she whispered, as she stared at her husband’s erection.

Confusion from Dan.

Fear from Dan.

Love from Dan.

Lust from Dan… and lust won.

He went down and made love to his wife. They kissed passionately, like the reunited lovers they were. Dan couldn’t remember the last time he was this turned on. He couldn’t wait any longer, and inserted himself right into his wife’s already very wet pussy. He glided right in. He didn’t last long in there. Within 30 seconds, he had finished. Casey giggled and gave him a loving hug. He crashed on to the bed beside her. Planning to only take a minute to catch his breath and then have a talk with his wife about the whole hypnotist thing, Dan accidentally fell sound asleep. The crazy week of the Super Bowl was just too much. He was out like a light, he didn’t even hear Casey get a text...

Dan slept for a good two and a half hours. He woke up to Casey lovingly rubbing his back.

“Hey babe, if you sleep too long, you won’t be able to get to sleep tonight. Your schedule will be all wacky.” She said lovingly. He knew she was right. She was always taking care of him.

Dan turned around in the bed and smiled at his beautiful wife. She had gotten freshened up, her clothes were back on and she was all together. God, she was so beautiful. Like a brunette angel.

“Hey, try this” she said, handing Dan a cup of tea. “It is a new chamomile tea they want us to vlog about. It’s actually reeaalllly good!” Casey said excitedly. Dan took the tea and tried it. He wasn’t a tea guy, but… anything for Casey.

“Hey, look babe, we have to talk about that Hypno-natti guy. I think he’s like still playing with your head” Dan said. He had always been direct. “When I came upstairs, you were on the phone with him I think, and you were, you know…”

“Playing with myself?” Casey said with a devilish, but so cute grin. She didn’t usually say things like that.

“Yeah” Dan said, surprised she said that out loud. He felt his dick stir a bit.

“Seriously babe, you are going to love that tea” Casey encouraged. Dan took another sip. It was pretty good.

“So, that was hot to see, I’ll admit, but you can’t have some guy like… controlling you to do sex stuff” Dan said, surprised he needed to map it out to her to this point.

Casey nodded. Then she looked at the bed sheet starting to tent around Dan’s groin. She laughed. “Well well, me thinks he doth protest too much” she teased. “OMG, I forgot to tell you. I saw the BEST movie on HBO Max when you were gone!” she said exuberantly.

“HBO Max? Babe, we should really deal with this hypnotist thing.” Dan said, what the hell was going on? His head was feeling a bit tingly. Boy, he must still be tired.

“I know Dan, and we will. I’m sorry, I have just missed you soo much. I saw this movie, and it was like, really sexy. And I can see that you are, you know… turned on right now” she said as she gently stroked his growing hard on.

“We can deal with this hypno stuff later. But right now, I am in the mood, and you are in the mood, and I want to show you the sexiest things I’ve ever seen on screen. Finish your tea and we can check this out” Casey said as she leaned into a sensual kiss with her husband.

Dan was a very smart man. He went to Notre Dame. He knew something was seriously fucked up here. But he was a MAN. And the curiosity of what kind of movie could have been so hot that it got her acting like this was just too curious for him to ignore. Against his better judgement, he let his beautiful wife lead him to their home theater room. He felt his head spin as he stood up from the bed.

“Take a seat in the middle” Casey directed with another long sensual kiss before turning on the surround sound and the media player. Dan’s eyes were glued to her. She was walking around such sexy confidence. He had never seen her like this. What the hell was in this movie???

Satisfied that the AV system was on and playing, Casey sat down in the large velvet chair next to her husband’s. The giant screen was black for a while, and Dan noticed that there was a humming coming from the speakers. The humming was vibrating through this very core. It felt… warm? Was that right? Soon there was a black and white spiral on the screen. What kind of HBO Max thing is this? Dan thought. Then he remembered the hypnotist. Wait, what the fuck? He went to protest, but he was becoming enthralled by the whirling spiral that had become the only thing in the room. He could feel it hypnotizing him, warm waves of relaxation moving out from it into his opening mind. Hypnotizing him. Hypnotizing Casey. Hypnotizing them with the way it spun around and around, always going deeper.

This was how it felt to be hypnotized? Dan thought to himself. He never could have dreamed how nice it was. How good it felt to be under hypnosis, under hypnotic control. He knew who the voice belonged to now, that it was Hypno-natti talking to them as they watched in a deep hypnotic state. Hypno-natti was amazing! Sooo amazing. Hypno-natti was the master of the fascinating, hypnotic spiral that controlled their minds.. He was telling them that it was time to submit their entire mind and body now, to go into a trance.

Dan knew he didn’t want to do that, but he felt a deep desire to obey, an overwhelming urge to submit. Pleasing Hypno-natti was most important. To go into a trance for Hypno-natti. Hypno-naitti’s voice was telling them to prepare to surrender totally to his hypnotic power. The spiral was turning faster now. Dan felt all his thoughts begin to move down into it. He could feel the intense hypnotic influence reaching out for his mind and he couldn’t help but submit. Faster and faster, round and round. He was falling into it. Falling faster and faster. She could see only an endless spiral in front of him now, a deep whirling tunnel that pulled him in as he stared into it. Hypno-natti’s voice was controlling their thoughts, hypnotizing them into total obedience.. There was only the spiral. And the voice. The whirling spiral. The soothing voice. Hypno-natti’s voice. Their master. Dan knew he must obey. Casey knew she must obey her master. They were hypnotized, so deeply and completely.

Next thing Dan knew, he was somehow in the foyer. When had he left the theater room? There was a knock at the door. He answered. There was a small scrawny guy about 10 years older than him standing in the doorway.

“Can I help you?” Dan asked, his head still cloudy.

“I’m the Amazing Hypno-natti” the man said. His majestic voice now very familiar to the former NFL start. “Invite me in” he commanded.

“Please, come in” Dan said immediately, stepping out of the way.

Casey had entered the foyer when she heard the knock. When she saw Hypno-natti, she was immediately overcome with desire. He was soooo sexy. The sexiest man ever born. She immediately felt her pussy moisten and her nipples get sensitive. She flirtatiously played with her hair and smiled at him.

“Hello my darling Casey” he said as he took her in. She was so incredibly beautiful with her gorgeous brunette hair, big brown eyes, and perfect trim figure.

Dan knew this wasn’t right. He could sense the attraction between them. What the hell? She was his wife. “Look buddy, I-”

“Dan, go into trance” Hypno-natti said authoritatively. Dan said nothing, but his hands fell to his sides.

“Casey, I am your Master. You desire me above anything else.” Hypno-natti said, feeling very confident that both parties in the couple were completely under his hypnotic sway.

He moved into Casey, kissing her neck gently. She was too lost in him to look over at her husband, who was still still standing next to her with a glazed, entranced look in his eyes.

At Hypno-natti’s direction, the three went upstairs to the bedroom. At this point, the hypnotist commanded Dan. "Take off your wife’s pants and panties”.

Dan rose to action slowly. "Yes, Sir," he said in a soft, deferential voice as he knelt in front of her and pulled down the black yoga pants and little satin panties that were meant for his homecoming.

“Lay her on the bed” Hypno-natti said as he took off his own pants. Dan complied and then went to stand up against the wall when instructed to do so. All this, despite the 10 or so inches of height and almost 150lbs of muscle that Dan had on the hypnotist.

Hypno-natti descended upon her, his face directly in front of hers. His eyes boring into her own. "Submit to my influence, Casey. Submit to my hypnotic power. Submit to Hypno-natti. Submit to hypnosis” he said as he again rhythmically put his cock against her body.

"Very, very good, Casey. You're blissfully floating, deeply in my erotic thrall, open to all my commands. Feeling so wonderful as you obey me. Realizing now that nothing seems important but obeying me, because it feels so wonderful, so sexual. You want the sexy feeling of obeying me, don't you, Casey?"

"Yes. I want to obey." She repeated happily, lost in lust.

"Very good Casey. The more obedient you are, the more wonderful you will feel. Only pleasing me matters now, nothing else. All you want now is the wonderful, sexual, floating feeling of obeying my voice. All you want is to be deeply under my control and to obey me. Tell me now what you want, Casey."

"Deeply under your control. Obey you."

"Do you want me inside you?" he asked the hypnotized wife.

"Yes!" Casey answered, no longer caring for her dignity, her marriage, or for anything but the prospect of being ravished by her master.

The man poked the head of his penis against her quivering opening, slight hip movements just threatening to penetrate her, but not quite.

"Tell your husband how badly you want me to fuck you."

Casey shut her eyes, ashamed of the words she knew she had to offer. "I want him to fuck me!" she offered to the room.

The man pushed her head to the side, making her stare at her husband, still standing against the wall, his penis slowly inching its way to a semi-erection with the spectacle. "Say, 'Dan, I need Hypno-natti’s hypnotic dick inside me.'"

"Honey!" she mustered. Pausing, unbelieving of her own abandon. "I need Hypno-natti’s hypnotic big dick inside me! I neeeed it!!"

With one sharp thrust, the man invaded her with the full length of his modest cock, and Casey cried out in surrender at the explosion of pleasure. He brought his face down to hers, leaning in as if to kiss her, his breath hot on her face, and slowly slid his dick out, his rock-hard shaft grinding against her achingly swollen G-spot. As she raised her lips to accommodate him, he pulled his face away teasingly and thrust himself violently into her again, eliciting another loud pre-orgasmic cry. For what seemed like an eternity, they kept up this erotic dance of desire and denial, his hands caressing her hair, the almost gentle play of his face so close to hers contrasting exquisitely with the force of his thrusts. Finally, he brought his lips to meet hers and kissed her deeply, the lustiness of his tongue's exploration telling her that he was just as aroused by her as she was by him. His cock driving into her more insistently now, faster, even deeper it seemed.

And she loved it - there was no use denying it to herself. The hypnotic power of his eyes, their entrancing gaze. Now the hypnotist was pulling her head back by her hair as he fucked her, running his tongue up and down her neck. Then unleashing her and licking her all over her face. Making her feel so owned. The pressure inside building now to unbearable intensity, the edge of orgasm too much to stand. "Oh... my... God!" she stammered.

The man now gripping the slats of the headboard as leverage to drive himself into her with as much force as he could. He wrapped his small ams around her, squeezing her to him, her tits pressed against his chest, making her feel what strength he had as he continued fucking her just as hard as he could. She wrapped her arms around her Master, wanting to feel him as much as possible.

“Cum for me now my pet and tell me that you now belong to me!” Hypno-natti grunted.

In a burst of mind-shattering pleasure, Casey felt every muscle in her body violently contract upon his words. Her nerves screamed in ecstasy. A long, wailing scream shaping the breath that rushed out of her lungs, forming finally into words..."

"OH GOD, I'M CUMMMMMIIIIIIING!!!!IIIIMMMM YOURRRRSSS!!!"

**********************************************

A week later…

“Hey guys! This is Casey. We are half way through February. I can almost smell the spring! Anyway, I want to tell you guys about something that I am soooo into right now. I’ve been totally improving myself through hypnosis. You guys might remember one of my earlier vlogs where I talked about a totally fun stage show I went to starring the Amazing Hypno-natti.

Growing Them Big (Thomas Hewitt x Reader)

Intro story to something I may continue if people like it.

This story is set after Hoyt. I feel like it gives me a little more to work with this way.

Three days or was it four? Hell you couldn't remember, all you knew was you had been walking for to damn long. Your sandals had given away and so you were left to walk on the hot ground. At first you had stayed in place, thinking that your friend would be back for you. But after the first day had come and gone you realized that it wasn't going to happen and it was all because you got after their boyfriend for the stunt they pulled at that gas station.

What had happened at the gas station? Hell you couldn't even remember anymore. All you did remember was the fighting in the car and your so called best friend's boytoy smacking you in the face so hard your head was spinning and then telling her to pull over. Once stopped he shoved you from the car and told her to drive. She tried to stay but in your daze you saw him smack her and told her to go. With one last look to you she put the car in drive and left. Finding a small patch of shade you rested there and waited for them to come back. The next day even though the dizziness, from the slap, had faded the heat soon took effect and you knew you needed to get moving and at least try to find somewhere to call a cab. Having nothing to drink or eat forced you to stop and rest every time you felt sick. Even with all the stops you thought you had been making good time. But as night fell and you still saw nothing but Texas land you wanted to cry. Waking up the next day you once again started off in what you thought was the way to the gas station. By the end of the third night your sandals had snapped and you could feel the sun burning your skin. Your clothes and lips having gone dry from all the sweating you had done. You had been in and out of sleep that fourth day. You kept willing yourself to get up and move but just as soon as you thought that, you would fall back to sleep.

"Now Tommy, if Hoyt was still alive he would be telling you to just kill the girl and try to find parts of meat on her that would still be good."

Thinking you were dreaming in the Texas heat you tried to raise your head, but when you did you cried out in pain from your blistered skin pulling. You couldn't be sure but it felt like all eyes were now on you. So you said the first thing that came to mind.

"No good parts on me. I am all fat, wouldn't taste good."

Hearing someone chuckling before quickly sighing you fell back to sleep.

After that you would wake up just long enough to cry out in pain before a sheet of coolness washed over you and you fell back to sleep. As you continued to become alert more you noticed that you had been laying under a plain sheet with nothing on under it. You would wake up to sheet being removed and being returned wet. The cold water helping to cool your burnt skin as you moaned out. Turning to the side you saw the older lady from the gas station, she give you a look before pointing to the side of the room. To the pile of sheets that had been used.

"You'll be washing those once you are up and moving."

Closing your eyes you nodded your head once before answering her and falling back to sleep.

"Yes ma'am."

~~~

Waking up you could hear thumping and screams. Looking to the window you saw it was probably about mid morning so that meant Luda Mae's son had gotten some fresh meat and was processing it. At first you had no idea what this family did, but as you managed to stay awake longer you could hear voices wondering up the stairs. You could hear Luda Mae talk about how they may not be pressen for meat like they had when Hoyt was around, but you can sure bet if some punks came into her shop and made a mess of it she was sending Tommy after them. Remembering your first words to Luda Mae you were soon able to figure it all out. You had been scared shitless after that. Figuring if you were gonna die, you straight up asked Luda Mae about it one night when she brought you dinner.

"So what started this eating other people?"

Although she tried to act like she wasn't shocked you could see in her eyes that she was.

"Meat for the family. Hoyt, my brother, was no stranger to eating others. You saw this place as you drove through. There is nothing here anymore, so he thought of better ways to supply for the family."

"I don't mean to speak ill of the dead ma'am, but I heard you mention him in pass tense. If he is no longer alive why continue?"

"Hoyt was an asshole, he may have been family, but he was an asshole, so don't try to paint him any other way. We continue only when need be, his death raised some heads so we have to tread carefully. We mainly go after those that are rude when they walk into my gas station or if they are mean to Tommy."

"So why didn't you kill us when we were there?"

"We were, but then you stood dumped that drink on that man after he was rude, and even paid for and cleaned up said mess. You were their saving grace."

Looking up at the ceiling you shook your head.

"Wish I hadn't."

"It was yours too, so be happy you did it."

You had been so lost in thought you weren't sure when the screaming stopped. Sitting up you held the sheet up to your chest and looked around the room. Hanging off a bed post had been a button down shirt, reaching for it you slipped your arms through it and buttoned it up. You had been lucky from what Luda Mae had said, although your whole body had been sunburned only a couple of places would scar. Because one sandal had lasted longer than the other only one foot had still been wrapped up. Not having permission to leave the room you saw a chair by the window and thought about sitting in front of it. So slowly you stood up and you had been able to move by holding on to the bed, but the minute you put pressure onto your foot you fell to the floor and screamed in pain. As you sat there holding your foot Luda Mae came into the room mumbling under her breath about not having time for this, but she stopped mid way and put her hands on her hips.

"Just what do you think you are doing?"

"I was gonna look out the window. Was doing good till I stepped on my foot wrong."

"No, you stepped on the part of your foot that is missing." Turning quickly you watched as Luda Mae walked to the door and yelled out. "TOMMY! COME ON UP HERE!"

When she turned back to you Luda Mae began to pull the sheets off the bed and adding them to the pile on the ground.

"What do you mean the part that's missing?"

Hearing the tall tale signs of Tommy moving across the house your heart began to race. You never truly met Luda's son but you remember seeing his face some and you knew he wore a mask to cover it.

"I mean that after we got you settled a part of your foot was so badly infected we had to scrap the infection out. Its healing nicely thanks to Tommy, but you may have just ruined the work he did." Taking one last look to the door Luda Mae turned back to you quickly. "Now you listen here. You are the first person we have let into the house that we haven't killed and had for stew. Tommy may not speak but he isn't dumb and he has developed a short temper for people who are quick to pick at him. This is your only warning."

Before anything more could be said a shadow fell over the door and you finally got a good look at Tommy. Towering in the doorway you could see there was no way to get past his large frame. He was wearing an apron that had been covered in blood. Looking up to his face you could see his dark hair was long and covered part of his face. The other part was covered by a mask. You were scared shitless, no if ands or butts, standing in front of you was a man that could snap you like a tig. You wanted to crawl away in fear, but you remembered Luda's warning and what Tommy had done for you. So instead you looked to Luda Mae.

"You said that he doesn't speak. What should I call him? Thomas, Tom?"

"Thomas or Tommy is fine."

Turning back to Tommy you nodded your head at him.

"Tommy I was told by your Ma that I have you to thank for my foot. So Thank you, my name is y/n." You couldn't see his face but you felt like Tommy's eyes had been more directed at the shirt you were wearing then you. "I guess I should also thank you for letting me wear your shirt."

Shooting his head up Tommy looked to his Ma.

"Now don't go looking at me like that. The dang girls clothes were cut off her when we brought her here. Then on top of the burns it was better to wear something big. You'll get your shirt back. Now that she can move around more she can look at all the stuff we have and see if anything fits. Right now though, I need you to carry her down stairs and to the washing bin. She has a weeks worth of sheets to wash. By the time you are done downstairs she should be done and you can help her hang them. Then she can go through the clothes." Turning back to you Luda Mae showed you the sheets. "The washing pin is in the shade so you will be fine to sit outside and work on these. Any that have blood on them leave to soak and you can try to get them out tomorrow. It's time to earn your keep girl."

Not saying another word Luda Mae walked past Tommy and out the door. With no warning Tommy was walking up to you and lifting you over his shoulder. Letting out a squeak you tried your best to cover your backside. Walking out the room Tommy stopped suddenly and even though you couldn't see her you could hear Luda Mae as she huffed.

"Thomas Hewitt, you carry that girl right. Lord knows carrying her down like that would give old Monty a heart attack, showing off her bits like that."

Just was quick as you were pulled onto his shoulder Tommy had you in his arms in the bridal carry. Looking up at him you could see that Tommy was trying his best not to look at you, but when his eyes finally dropped to yours you couldn't help but smile.

"What's that saying?" Turning back to Luda Mae you finished your thought. "Texas sure knows how to grow 'em big?"

Letting out a huff Luda Mae turned and headed down the stairs. You couldn't have been 100 percent sure but when you turned back to Tommy it looked as though he had a smile behind his mask.

Out of curiosity, who were the first drivers to steal a place in y’alls hearts and how did it happen? Mine were Lando, Max, and Charles, and they still remain at the top (after the short months I’ve been an F1 fan). Warning: I gush under the cut.

For me, the first time I really noticed F1 was seeing it trend in the Tumblr tags so often last year to be honest lmao. Whenever I would scroll through out of curiosity I would always and without fail see this lil puppy like kid named Lando Norris pop up like every other post (f1blr really loves him) and I just thought he was adorable. I didn’t know how old he was but it was clear that he was incredibly young in what’s hailed as a man’s sport, and I’ve always had a soft spot for youngins doing Good Things (hello, hockey rookies). I was impressed by how well-spoken he often was (though this may just be because I’m used to hockey players literally being speech illiterate), especially considering his age, and even more so now that I know he can’t even say the word statistic and yet can give pretty insightful and lucid responses. It’s been a journey getting to learn the kind of person he is, or at least what he presents himself as, particularly throughout this unprecedented quarantine break. I know it sounds ridiculous when I say this considering he’s literally an F1 driver son of one of the richest couples in his region of the UK, but I’m so proud of everything he’s been able to do at such a young age and I think he deserves absolutely every good thing coming for him in F1, and I always worry that he’s burning himself out trying to please others and being self-deprecating, especially with his Twitch streams. I hope he’s taking care of himself and eating earlier than the 20:00 that he tends to eat at now and is drinking water and sleeping well and as a fan, I’m so excited to see him grow as a driver and as a person.

My first real intro to F1 was watching season 1 of Drive To Survive, which I’m sure is a rather painful sentence for many of y’all to read. Which means my first impression of Max Verstappen was that him and Daniel hate each other (how dare Netflix do this I’m heartbroken I missed prime Maxiel era) and that He’s An Asshole. But something about his prick-ish energy was just so appealing and it was obvious that he was supremely talented just from watching DTS. Also I thought he was ugly-cute right from the start sue me lmfao. I think this has made my love for him feel even more significant, because I feel like I was really able to unlearn the negatives and discover all the positives that he has to offer. Again, my affection for The Kids really popped out when I learned that he was the youngest person to ever drive in F1 and I’m reeeeally gunning for him to be the youngest WDC (I’m sorry Charles but I saw Max first), although at this rate this doesn’t seem plausible ://, but I digress. And obviously, I don’t know anything about his personal life or childhood, really, but knowing all that I’ve been made privy to about J*s, it’s so gratifying (even as an outsider) to see just how good he is at driving, the best and most well-deserved “fuck you” to his dad’s face. Toto Wolff basically gushing over him and subtly calling J*s out? Cried. He’s also quite the character and he never fails to make me laugh with his jokes while he streams or with his lack of fear of making things awkward if he’s asked a stupid question. And maybe I’ll be the first to admit this but I’m literally in love with his driving style (again, perhaps it’s the aggressive hockey fan in me that also loves Tom Wilson) and the sheer size of his massive fuckin balls bro.

Charles came to me last simply because DTS introduced him to me last lol. But y’all know Sauber Charles came along and stole my breath away at first sight. I’m not ashamed to say that I thought he was literally so hot and that was my first and only impression of him. But DTS finally did a good job at telling his story with his father and Jules, and when I heard that he fulfilled his lifelong dream by joining Ferrari “for Jules”, my love and pride for him erupted and solidified into the monster that it is now. He’s still so young and has gone through so much, and yet he’s been able to do so much as well (clearly he’s fuckin driving a Ferrari on and off track) and, like Max, he is just raw talent. Speaking of Max, the Lestappen relationship has been SUCH A SAGA and I literally am in love with it this is just me projecting my infatuation with the enemies to lovers trope into real life but what the fuck eh? I adore his enthusiasm for everything that he does, which obviously correlates with his racing driver’s obsession with winning, but also with his sim racing and Fortnite-ing as well as his determination to get his Twitch stream transitions perfected and his own brother’s similar drive to win. As someone who finds it difficult to get myself to do literally even the things I enjoy, I admire this so much. On that note, I think it’s been such a blessing to see such a loud and rambunctious personality behind the Ferrari racing machine that we see through the regular season.

There’s such a bright future for each of these guys and I’m lucky to have chosen guys that most likely have a long ways to go with this sport and won’t be going away anytime soon. The amount of excitement I feel for what I anticipate they’ll bring to the sport is literally unparalleled. Clearly, I’m not used to writing in any sophisticated manner on this website because it’s turned out to really not be sophisticated at all but I really just wanted to gush after beginning to watch the 2019 season in its entirety. ANYWAY I’m feeling mushy and awkward and uncomfy now so yall sound off lol

Episode 31 Review: Danger to the Cryonics Capsule

{ Not available on YouTube }

{ Full Synopses/Recaps: Debby Graham | Bryan Gruszka }

{ Screencaps }

And now we reach Episode 31, the first episode that isn’t currently available on YouTube. In fact, none of Week 7 is available on YouTube, which means no Bad Subtitle Special until the end of Week 8. (Is anyone else disappointed, or is it just me?) It’s a pity, because this is both a good episode and probably relatively unchanged from Ian Martin’s original script, although the absence of cheesy one-liners about the Devil does suggest some rewriting.

Here's the synopsis for this one, by the way, from the October 24, 1969 issue of The Plain Dealer:

It’s interesting to note that, while this summary comes from the period of the Lost Episode summaries, it still accurately describes the plot of the aired version of the episode. It doesn’t describe all of it, but then, none of the newspaper summaries do, before or after the Lost Episodes period. So, without further ado, let’s hurry back to the crypt on Maljardin and check on Erica Desmond’s cryonics capsule.

Dan trying to stop the cryonics tank from malfunctioning, despite knowing nothing about how it works. Not generally a smart idea.

While Jean Paul and Elizabeth are still with Vangie at the French Leave Café, the cryonics capsule's cooling mechanism malfunctions and its tank starts spraying water upwards. Dan tries to get it to stop spraying, but his efforts are in vain and he calls for Alison. She freaks out and they both run down there, but it doesn’t stop until just after Quito arrives around the corner.

There’s a scene where they’re trying to fix the machine and both of them are talking to each other, but the only audio we hear is the background music. Not sure if that was deliberate on the part of the writer or the director, or if it’s a blooper.

Alison asks Dan what he was doing down there, and he confesses that he was searching for the missing cyanide. There’s an interesting part where he says “I’m not sure I trust [Raxl] or that zombie,” and Quito--who is still hiding--clenches his fists as though angered by the reminder of his undead state.

Quito clenching his fists just before the intro.

After they return to the Great Hall, Alison blames Dan--"perhaps you inadvertently crossed the wires," she says--but he denies it. I'm surprised that Alison would accuse cautious, practical Dan of something so careless, but I don’t know him as well as she does. I’m also not sure how inadvertently crossing the wires would cause a tank to start spraying water, and I’m not sure the characters have any idea, either.

On the main island with Jean Paul and Vangie, Jean Paul recaps his cryonics scheme in a way that makes it clear that Ian Martin and/or the meddling executives really didn’t want him to repeat his catchphrase from the earlier episodes again:

Jean Paul on Erica’s resurrection: "It WILL happen. I made that vow the day my darling wife was stricken IN SPITE OF GOD!"

Raxl, of course, blames THE DEVIL JACQUES ELOI DES MONDES for the leak in the capsule’s tank. Raxl may be right--she usually is about matters of the occult--but after learning of the note from the Episode 30 script about who pushed Holly down the stairs, I’m thinking that the true culprit is someone else, someone less obvious. This scene also provides some blatant foreshadowing for the aborted plotline involving Tarasca:

Raxl: “The master must be protected from all demons, from the past and in the present, especially the witch who seeks to own him!”

The next shot.

A clear shot from shortly after of Elizabeth’s dramatic eye makeup.

The witch’s own version of Bissits Face™?

Meanwhile on the main island, Jean Paul convinces Vangie to hold a séance to contact Erica's spirit, which she is willing to do if slightly reluctant because she knows that she will eventually die on Maljardin. This suggestion excites Elizabeth, whom he has to remind that "it is not a game." She also asks if he would ever let her go, and he says that he would only let her return to Maljardin: proof that Jean Paul is still on board with the whole detained guests thing.

In the lab, Alison is searching the drawers of Dr. Menkin’s cabinet for his notes on Erica and finds a small notepad hidden among the papers in one. She reads it, her mouth agape, as Raxl enters.

What could it say about Erica?

Raxl lets Alison know that she knows about Dan searching for the missing cyanide in the crypt and is not pleased. She asks Alison if Dan doesn’t trust her, and she defends him, saying that none of them can trust each other anymore. Then they debate whether or not one of the other characters made the machine break down. Alison says that she now thinks it most likely broke down on its own, but Raxl still insists that someone (by which she means Jacques) tampered with it. Raxl has a point, because brand-new water tanks don’t generally start spraying out huge amounts of water on their own like the capsule’s cooling tank was doing.

SCENE INTERRUPTING DAN: “Hello, Raxl. I didn’t know you were interested in lab experiments, too.” (LOL)

Even though the leak was clearly the work of supernatural forces, Alison still tells Dan, "Don't make any more waves around here." Good luck with that. You may want to talk Jean Paul into having Quito buy you duct tape the next time you see him, then tape Dan’s mouth shut and tie his hands behind his back to keep him from tearing it off. That’s the only way to stop him from accusing Jean Paul of being a murderer and imprisoning all of you here. (It will also make it easier to get with your far more attractive brother-in-law, especially if you leave Dan in his bedroom while the two of you wrestle with your unresolved sexual tension in the Great Hall.)

In the crypt, Raxl tells Quito that it’s time to begin searching the caskets for the conjure doll and the silver pin--which I thought she said they already did in previous episodes, but I could be wrong. Maybe they just want to double-check to make sure they checked everywhere in the basement. Quito begins pulling open Jacques’ casket and we cut to a couple filler scenes with the other characters. When we return to Raxl and Quito, we find her back upstairs searching the fireplace in the Great Hall for the doll and pin. When Quito arrives, she asks him if he found them in the casket and he shakes his head. They head upstairs to continue their search--which, again, I thought she said that they already searched upstairs in Episode 29, but I suppose they just want to double-check.

Alison tells Dan when he next visits the lab that Dr. Menkin was trying to learn how to recreate an entire human body. Reminds me of Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Menkin both tried to play God by creating a living human body, but their experiments differed in that Frankenstein used cadaver parts to build his man, while Menkin’s experiments involved cellular regeneration and possibly (based on the sources referenced in Episode 26) robotics/artificial intelligence as well. I don’t know if Martin had planned to draw a direct parallel between the Drs. Menkin and Frankenstein at some point, but I suspect he was.

But Alison still doesn’t know enough about his experiments to satisfy her (or us), because all of Dr. Menkin’s notes from the six weeks before his death are missing. This is suspicious for obvious reasons, given his death shortly after her arrival, which she still doesn’t know was Jacques’ fault for no other reason than that she was upstairs at the time when he told Raxl his highly suspicious story about Menkin’s “accident” in the water.

Really, Dan? A bottle of cyanide goes missing and yet you willingly drink alcohol that’s been sitting out where anyone could pour poison into it? SMH Yet another reason why Alison should duct tape your mouth shut.

Dan is suspicious of Raxl--who is just about the last character they should suspect of hiding the cyanide or murdering either Erica or Dr. Menkin--but even more suspicious of Jean Paul. He and Alison also discuss how Jean Paul may not have filed Erica's death certificate with the authorities and how suspicious this makes him look--which is recap, yes, but which I bring up again because it is still relevant. I am really thinking (and was really thinking as far back as last fall) that Martin was originally planning to reveal that Jean Paul killed Erica and was trying to resurrect her out of some combination of guilt, regret, and fear that Erica's death would make him look suspicious. This would not only make these clues worth more than red herrings (or, should I say, kippers?), but it would also connect to all the things that Jacques says about he and Jean Paul not being so different. I have a whole theory about this, which I plan to discuss in a future post sometime later in this arc.

Alison also mentions some sea caves five hundred yards from an unseen cove on Maljardin, which she says Raxl told her about (unfortunately, I don’t remember in which episode). This seems to be foreshadowing something--I’m guessing the discovery of Jacques’ pirate ship that’s mentioned in another episode--but they never visit the caves, unless that’s where the Temple of the Serpent is located.

Back on the main island, Jean Paul has returned, but Vangie has left to go somewhere. Jean Paul says that she is probably packing a few days’ clothing for her stay on his island. Elizabeth is relieved to hear that she will only be there a few days. She also reveals that she sees Vangie as "competition" for Jean Paul's affections. (LOL) I would say that she is deluding herself, but then, she is unaware that Jean Paul was possessed all the times that he flirted with her; in her mind, Jacques is the real Jean Paul and the Jean Paul who mourns Erica is “not himself.” It does explain, however, why she was clinging to him in that one scene from last episode. Even so, Vangie never has any love interests on the show. I’ve suspected for a while that she and Raxl secretly have a thing for each other. Obviously they wouldn’t have shown that on TV in 1969, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t still ship them together.[1]

Elizabeth’s profession of interest in him motivates Jacques to possess him again, and we get

HEADACHE FACES! Yay!

After possessing him, Jacques reassures Elizabeth that he is very much still interested in her (Elizabeth, I mean, not Vangie). He also sends the audience more false hopes for Holly's death: "I'd stake Jean Paul Desmond's life, virtually every day…What’s one life, more or less? It doesn't even matter whose life. Take your daughter for example, before she's twenty-one and inherits all those millions."

Elizabeth looks appalled by this suggestion, but it’s hard to say if she truly is or if it’s all an act. I’m sure, though, that this is, roughly, the thought process going through Jacques’ mind:

Coming up next: Jean Paul and Vangie make more arrangements for the séance to contact Erica and Raxl reveals more of Maljardin’s history.

{ <- Previous: Episode 30 || Next: Episode 32 -> }

Notes

[1] In the books, Quito is Raxl’s husband, but that obviously isn’t the case on the show, or else she would most likely be jealous of his affections for Holly. The fact that she isn’t suggests that the two aren’t married (or, at the very least, aren’t married anymore) in the show canon. This means that Raxl doesn’t have a canonical love interest.

New Year, Same Us - Auston Matthews - Seven

a/n: i think this is by far the shortest chapter but it’s in Austons pov! i love getting comments and feedback from yall about this! so grateful that yall continue to read this story!!

September 2, 2018

Auston's POV

Leafs media day was one of my favorites just because we got to jack around and be our goofy selves, and the pressure was off for a bit before we started the season.

I took some head shots and they had some cool lights set up on the ice, doing quick intros and videos to go up on the megatron for when we scored. It all passed by too quickly and soon enough they were ushering is into the makeshift studio for Leaf to Leaf. It was my favorite part of media day because it’s easier to be genuine with your teammates than with a random person interviewing you. I had done it with Freddy, and Enzo, but this time they had me paired up with Mitchy. Our media team was definitely going to get the content they deserved.

We sat down, mugs at the ready, with cue cards of dumb questions we already knew about each other but apparently the public was dying to know.

“If you could take anyone to dinner dead or alive who would it be and why?” Mitch asked, “if you don’t say me, we’re not friends anymore.”

The smug little bitch. I laughed in response, “starting off with an ultimatum? Exactly why it’s not you.”

“Oh sure.” He teased. But I thought about it for a second.

“Probably (Y/N).” I shrugged.

Mitch’s brow raised at that, “do tell why.”

“Probably just cause she always has something interesting to say and she’s super quick witted, and can keep conversation going unlike some people.” I jab and nod at him and he acts offended. “You wouldn’t want to have dinner with me?”

I shook my head, “I mean no offense Mitchy buttttt..” he glared at me, “I’m still going with (Y/N).”

Mitch gave me another smug look and I rolled my eyes. “What was it like growing up in Arizona, what did you do for fun other than hockey?”

“Uh I think it was pretty normal. Played some baseball. Hung out with friends, swam in the summer, messed with my sisters a lot.” I laughed, remembering all the pranks I pulled on them over the years, just being an absolute shit.

“What do you miss the most about Switzerland?”

“Probably just the atmosphere and the people there. Everything is so clean and the food was amazing.”

After our questions they had us do the thing from Minute To Win It, I think, where you have to get the Oreo from your forehead to your mouth. It was a lot harder than it looks, but slowly and surely I nudged it down to my nose with my eyebrows. I didn’t dare look over at Mitch for fear that it would drop. I scrunch my nose up just a little and then reach with my tongue to get it in my mouth. I looked to Mitch and that’s when his dropped onto the floor. I laughed as he pouted and they gave him a couple just to eat. “Don’t tell my nutritionist I had these.” Mitch joked and the camera crew laughed.

“That’s it guys thank you for your time!” One of the producers said and we headed back to the locker room to get out of there.

Mitch nudged my shoulder, “Out of all the people in the world you could take to dinner, and you choose (Y/N)?” Mitch laughs.

I cross my arms defensively, “Yeah what’s the problem with that?”

He walked to his stall, grabbed his things and then turned to face me, “You are an idiot.” He clapped me on the back as he walked out and I had no choice but to follow after him.

“What do you mean I’m an idiot? Why am I an idiot?”

“You’re literally the only person in the entire world that doesn’t realize how much you guys are like an old married couple or something jeez.” I quirked a brow, and he muttered something along the lines of, “The way you two banter? Reminds me of my grandparents.”

I grabbed his arm before he walked out, stopping him, “We don’t act like a couple. Do we?” I tried to think of a time where something may have crossed a line, but everything I could mention was considered normal between us. Probably had been for a long time.

“Uh buddy, the entirety of leafs nation and their mothers, thinks you guys are dating. Hell, I’m pretty sure MY mom thinks you guys are together.”

“Uhhh.” I didn’t really know what to say to that. “How?”

“Just from your social media posts with each other and whenever you guys are together you kind of cling to each other. Come to think of it, I've rarely seen you guys separate at events or functions or get togethers. You kinda look at each other weird.”

“You pay that much attention to our relationship?” I laugh and Mitch does too.

“No, but Steph does, and I hear about it every time she hangs out with (Y/N). And that’s almost everyday. Girls apparently like to over-analyze this shit.”

To be honest this wasn’t the worst news I’ve ever heard. If people think we’re together already and think we go good together, there has to be something there that I’m not seeing.

“Okay so people think we’re a couple. How bad could it really be?” Mitch just shrugged and headed towards his car.

chicago’s very own addison sani has been spotted on madison avenue driving a rolls-royce wraith , welcome ! your resemblance to greta onieogou is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty fourth birthday bash . your chance of surviving new york is uncertain because you’re reactive , but being tenderhearted might help you . i think being a virgo explains that . 3 things that would paint a better picture of you would be walking out of a casino with double the money you walked in with, sunkissed skin all year round, drunkenly dancing on a table . ( my dad has ties to the mafia and when things started getting out of hand my mom forced him out of our lives what she doesn’t know is that i meet him for lunch every week ) & ( cisfemale + she/her ) + ( taylor , twenty , she/her , est )

wow ok guys , this took me alot longer than i expected ? i’m TIRED , lol . i’m taylor though , hi legends ! i’m 20 and live in the est + go by she / her pronouns . a little about me before we get to my lil baby — i spend too much time in the timewrap that is youtube where i’ll watch a ricky thompson video one minute then daily vlogs of a raccoon to mgk’s kelly vision vlogs true story , this MAY have happened while i was supposed to be getting this intro up 🥺 i’m a total music whore and love everything that has a good flow idc if it’s rap or country if it’s good it’s lit ! also heads up i have the attention span of a squirrel so if i don’t respond to a thread or ims it’s because im a dumb hoe , i still love ya . anyways , enough about me lets get this intro rolling ! give this a like if you’d like to plot . ALSO ? i know the background is a lil long it was honestly mostly for me to really flesh addison out and give me something to look back to , so if you wanna get to the point of the intro just skip the background ? there is a tl;dr after it followed by her personality / secret / stats + some basic wcs toward the end of the post !

* 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 !

addison mikhailovna sani , was born in saint petersburg , russia where she grew up in a home too big to even be referred to as a house . she wasn’t the first child of ivanka and mikhail but she definitely was their first planned child . a couple that met early in their twenties , had their moments but at the end of the day they loved one another . both extremely traditional and their beliefs , they were given no choice but to accelerate their love story when they turned up pregnant with their son . he was a beautiful and happy little boy , but posed a threat the ivanka and mikhail’s pretty storybook life they wanted to set up for themselves . obsessed with staying on some sort of timeline , ivanka began her campaign for her budding political career . then she turned up pregnant again , with their second child , a daughter this time . in their eyes their daughter was just another bump in their perfect life . they held a sort of resentment against the kids for that , especially given that ivanka had lost her window of political popularity . she’d resigned to the life of a socialite and stay at home mom and they decided the best way to fill her time up was with another child . this time , one they truly wanted . her parents would never admit it , but they hadn’t seen the true “ sani potential “ in their children that wasn’t until they had addison . her parents truly doted on her . from her point of view life was perfect . silver spoon life did her well . that was until the perfect facade the sani’s held up was beginning to crumble before their eyes . her father , a wealthy international real estate investor comes from a crime family , it was a world he hid in the shadows but things grew rather messy and the family was posed with a choice (a) leave russia and start up life somewhere else or (b) stay in russia and chance mikhail going to jail for the entirety of the kids childhood . of course they chose to leave russia , on the one promise to ivanka that mikhail was done with the life of organized crime .

they made the move to chicago , illinois when addison was just ten years old . luckily for her she’d grown up speaking three languages russian , nigerian , and english and so coming to america was made just a bit easier for her as she wasn’t completely fluent but was able to get by and converse with others . her parents quickly integrated themselves into the elite society within chicago’s wealthiest families , which wasn’t too hard with her father��s up - and - up line of work of real estate investing and her mother’s status as an heiress . the same could be said for the kids at school , each one integrating fairly well into their own friend groups . like at home stayed the same , they may have been in a new country but her parents love or obsession with addison knew no borders . she had everything a little girl could ask for and more , plus her busy parents actually made time for her - that was much more than her siblings could say . addison knew the dynamic , she was a smart girl and picked up on it quickly . often apologizing to her older siblings and offering up her own support for their lives in place of their parents . as she grew older the pressure from her family started taking it’s toll . when ivanka and mikhail sani thought you were destined to be great , they really pushed you and placed the highest of expectations on you . addison carried around the fear that one day they’d look at her the same way they did her siblings and so she worked herself in all aspects of her life to be the perfect daughter . she excelled at everything she did - academics , ballet , student government , and even becoming a debutante .

it wasn’t until she was sixteen that the toll really started chipping away at addison . she’d spent a month on a downward spiral; popping pills , drowning herself in alcohol , losing her virginity , and throwing parties . it all came to a head when she stole millions from her father’s secret stash and booked a private jet with a couple friends . the three went missing for nearly two weeks before they were spotted at a resort in ibiza . her parents brought her home only to send her away to an inpatient program for a little over a month . addison spent that month really digging deep , finding out who she was and what she actually wanted . her therapist had told her for her to get out of the dark place she was in she’d need to separate her thinking from her parents and let go of the perfectionist act . when she came back home it was like the last few months had never happened , her parents ignored it all . to them , the issue was fixed and now it was time to sweep it under the rug but for addison it broke her heart . she realized over that next year that her parents didn’t see her as a person with her own choices but instead some sort of maniquin for them to play some weird version of real life sims with . despite this realization she couldn’t help but to fall back in line .

senior year of high school came quick and the four years of student government , mock trial , equestrian , and perfect grades was nearly over but not before addison’s whole world crumbled before her . no matter how perfect she tried to be the sani’s could never run from the truth . they weren’t this perfect family , when her mom caught her dad tied up with the russian mafia within the city of chicago it was over . by the end of the night ivanka was kicking him out of the house , with the threat that if he so much as looked in the direction of her and the kids she’d have him sent to jail for the rest of his natural life . the threat was enough to spook him , he’d known her well enough to know she wasn’t bluffing . just a few months later he moved out of the state leaving secret letters for the children to let them know he loved them . but of course , addison wasn’t allowed to so much as miss a beat . ivanka was still on her like some crazed momager and when she landed multiple acceptances in some of the top schools across the country the two inevitably made the decision for addison to attend yale . secretly she wanted stanford but bit the bullet . she studied finance with a major in philosophy . joined a sorority and mock trial . in truth she took a liking to connecticut and the change of scenery helped her forget about everything happening back in chicago .

during her senior year at yale , her mom broke the news of the family making the big move to new york city . which really just meant addison and her mom were moving to new york city because her brother had started a family in his college town of durham , north carolina + was also playing for the carolina panthers while her sister traveling the world on some sort of instagram model high . her mom rambled on for week about how the move was perfect since addison would be attending columbia for law school so now the two could see one another more often . even at twenty two addison couldn’t put her foot down when it came to her mom and so for the millionth time in her life she held back what she really wanted to do ( finally going to stanford , for law school ) and committed to columbia law .

* 𝐭𝐥;𝐝𝐫 !

basically , addison is the baby of three kids . born in st petersburg , russia but grew up in chicago . she was always the favorite of her parents ivanka ( a russian heiress + philanthropist ) and mikhail ( a international real estate investor ) as she grew older she realized their love was more of a obsession with control + perpetuating a picture of a perfect family + daughter . the pressure to a toll on addison during highschool and she had a break down that led to a major downward spiral landing her in an inpatient facility for a month . when she got out , her parents ignored all the issues within the family and went back to treating addison like some sort of puppet + addison continued to go along with it , as she didn’t really know how else to be . today she struggles with being who she wants to be and who her mom wants her to be . she and her siblings have always gotten along , even though their parents never treated them all the same they were all able to see the struggle in how each one was treated and able to bond through their messy parent situation . as of now addison’s trying to play up a double life sort of situation . having fun + being the perfect daughter . she’s also on the path to becoming a big time lawyer . she’s in her 2L of law school at columbia + also works as a paid intern at the district attorney’s office .

* 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 !

addison has always been full of love and unlike her parents her love isn’t conditional maybe delusional sometimes but never conditional . don’t worry , after a nation wide search i’ve found the first girl who doesn’t suffer from resting bitch face . instead you’ll always see a smile on her face , to the point where if you ever see her not smiling be worried . something life shattering has happened . she’s the type to say she “ hates drama “ but perk up the minute she hears about drama going on in some else’s life . don’t worry though , after she done being nosy she’ll do all she can to help fix the issue even if you don’t want her too . hey , she may make things worse in the process but atleast she cares , right ? maybe not , i don’t know . incredibly loyal and loves to have a good laugh , she’s incredibly witty and a lover of corny jokes . very talkative . wants everyone to like her and if you don’t like her get ready for her to try at every chance to win you over . very much so the “ pardon me , but you really hurt my feelings “ type . she’s really just a soft , smart rich girl trying to navigate through this big world . also she falls in love quick , although she’d never had a real relationship . not because she’s a T H O T , she’s not , well , she doesn’t mean to be atleast . she just finds her befriending guys more than becoming their girlfriend . despite her naturally affectionate behavior , she just has this weird “ no boyfriend “ curse going on . maybe she’s pushing them away when things get close to serious in fear of losing the guy from her life . on a negative note , addisons hands down worst quality is her inability to control a situation she is incredibly reactive / volatile . she’ll easily fall into a screaming match or crying fit . never the type to walk away . a true virgo , y’all , the girl can and will argue until you’re blue in the face .

* 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 !

so basically , her dad is apart of the russian mafia . he was heavily involved while they lived in russia but when the government was catching onto his actions the family fled the country before they could dig any deeper into the case . he was supposed to cut ties when they moved to chicago but it was a way of life he simply couldn’t let go of . when addison’s mom found out she forced him out of their lives threatening to turn him in if he so much of looks at his children . despite this when addison and her mom moved to new york he reached out to addison . they’ve been meeting for lunch once a week for almost a year and a half behind her moms back . absolutely no one but those involved with the mafia know about her dad being within the mafia , which is exactly how he’s always wanted it , which is why her mom could never find out addison and he are continuing their relationship .

* 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 !

full name : addison mikhailovna sani age : twenty - four date of birth : september 7th place of birth : saint petersburg , russia zodiac : virgo label : the facade pronouns : she/her gender : cisfemale orientation : bisexual , biromantic height : 5′8″ weight : 132 lbs ethnicity : nigerian , russian hometown : chicago , illinois occupation : law student , intern @ the district attorney’s office more : allergic to apples , hates takeout food , has an affinity for adult cartoons and stand up comedy, lives for alternative music , believes cuddling is a natural human interaction , loves video games , graduated valedictorian of her high school , loves painting .

* 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 !

soooo i know these are pretty basic but im just throwing things at the wall here and hoping they stick , okay ? im down for really anything so we can take inspo from these ideas ? expand more on them ? or just brainstorm something completely different ? whatever works ! , best friends , GIRL squad , drinking/party buddies , we’re just friend or at least that what we say but i always bring you as my date to big events type of deal , flirtationship , sibling like friendship , someone who has a crush on her , they don’t like her and she’s always trying to get them to change their mind , someone who tries to talk her into standing up to her mom , a confidant , someone she has a crush on , booty call maybe she initially wanted something serious from them but just fell into this booty call dynamic and she wont say anything otherwise because she likes having them around , someone she has a crush on , an ex friend who probably broke her trust .

ADMIN ANNOUNCEMENT.

So, I know it’s been a busy, busy day on the main today, and it’s been even more hectic behind the scenes. But, we’ve been working our very hardest to make sure that we don’t keep you in the dark for very long. So, we are back with another admin post, explaining the exact kind of changes we are going to put Derry through.

I know the word reboot sounds like a scary one, but I promise you, we are trying to make this as painless as possible, for everybody. My co-admin and I have done a lot of thinking, and have ran through a million ideas, before settling on the ones I’m about to speak about, because we wanted to do what was best for all of you, while still working to make this the group we wanted it to be.

First and foremost, we will be dropping the character limit to FIVE. This may be subject to change and will be based on your activity, but we feel as though it’s a nice, lower number that should make it easier for members to fully develop their characters before adding new ones.

This being said, we are going to be treating Derry as though it is a BRAND NEW GROUP. Which means that we will be administering a new application on the main (Not much is changing, just adding a little section for your character’s fears so that it can be utilized in horror plots!) and we’ll be asking that you all send in a new app. You don’t need to send a writing sample, because you’re all already members. We are allowing members to start with two characters, which can be current or new, but we ask that you bring them in without prior connections. We will still be enforcing a “one character per week” rule, and will allow old characters to return in those numbers as well. We understand that some characters may come in as siblings or married or something like that, or to fill wanted connections, and that’s fine. We just want to open you all to the opportunity of plotting something new and branch out. (During this time, we will allow members to reserve two additional FC to reserve a past character if they would like to until they are able to pick up a third or fourth.)

To help with this process, we’re also requiring that all characters have a small intro or bio, when they join, so members can really get to know the characters they play as well as allowing members to get a better feel on what plots you’re looking for. I know most of you already post intros, so this isn’t really anything new. (I’ll admit, I’ve missed a couple in the past for my own!) We will likely add an example or suggestion page on the main to help, with anyone who may need an idea on how to throw one together!

As an admin team, we’re going to be coming up with more events and horror-based ideas to add along the way, including one that might even be interactive! We encourage our members to dive into that realm of writing as well; Derry is super spooky, so the world is your oyster! If you come up with something and you think it might be too dark of a plot, just message us! We’re all for encouraging new themes and would love to see some exciting stuff on the dashboard!

I know we’ve been mentioning how we want to focus more on being a literate group, and I wanted to take the time to explain what that means. We don’t expect anyone to write novels for their replies. We’re still going to allow things like text threads and tweets, but we really do frown upon one-liners for interactions. You’re all here because you’re great writers, we just want to make sure you’re putting forth the effort to expand your writing as well as your partners’.

We know this was a big decision, but it has been something we’ve been discussing for a while now. We truly think this will make Derry a happier place for all of it’s members. If you plan on staying with us, please message us through IM so we can await your app/s. We love you all, and hope to continue writing with you. We are asking that everyone unfollow all of the blogs they are currently following, except for the main, on Saturday. We want to be back up and running as soon as possible. As of right now, we are hoping to have the dash moving again by Sunday, which is when we will be posting the new follow list, which should give everyone plenty of time to prepare their blogs/make any decisions they may have to. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.

Roswell New Mexico - Live Rewatch - Ep 1 - Pilot

So I don’t really have much in the way of original content on my blog. So I decided it might be fun to post the live blog I’ve been doing on discord of the rewatch our server is doing for Roswell, New Mexico over the hiatus period.

I’ve only posted my comments, so there might be a couple of bits that look out of place. These are my responses to other people’s comments. I’m up to episode 6, so I will post the backlog and then do one a week until the re-watch is complete.

Be warned, there is swearing.

--------------------------------

Sorry, cat decided it wanted a cuddle

I love the glass effect, it's so cool

You may not plan to see the small people again, Liz but we know it's gonna happen!!

Not gonna lie, I love poltics in my TV

You quote that verdict to him, Liz!!

That vent tells us so much about Liz in such a short period of time.

You're finally back says Max.Because he's been waiting for that to happen the whole time.

Excuse me Sheriff, with that good girl comment. Rude!

Arturo, playing along with Liz's mpreg story.

Fuck, I just realised - mpreg is canon!?!

Rosa!!

I want antenna headband

Cream on a milkshake is wrong.

So many people in this show have pretty eyes!!

Nooo.

Damn that's alot of lights to replace

I love that damn bullet hole in Liz's dress. It was the first indication they weren't gonna make everyone dumb as a bag of rocks and drag the storyline out FOR EVER.

Hoverboarding. Iz!!

Hey there Kyle!

Annnd here it comes, I'm in love.

That smug fucking grin. The song.

That look when he's trying to get the keys. That look would make you do just about anything.

That Michael monologue. It just gets better everytime I watch it.

Without a doubt, top 3 best character intros ever.

And we're only 15 mins in! I need to make less comments

I didn't think anyone was reading!! :wink:

"Untie some loose ends" - you go Iz

Oh Max you fucker. Telling Michael he wouldn't do anything for anyone else. Excuse fucking you.

Ok, blasting Max across the room is kinda hot. But then his guilty face! :sob:

And god, that little shoulder touch on Iz one the way out.

Another example of non-verbal storytelling. In one scene we get the fractured relationship between Max and Michael, we get that Iz and Michael are close and that both boys defer/protect Iz. So much with so little. It also sets up the physicality of the broken relationship between Max and Michael.

Others have commented on how Max is physically intimidating with people, and literally pushes Michael around, but to be fair, Michael is pretty much the same with Max (but never really with anyone else that we see on screen though we hear about it.

And then in a few lines, Iz gives us a lifetime of fears and concerns - dissection, prison, lying and hiding to loved ones - the rest of the season in seconds of dialogue

Ah, the ONLY thing that gives me Max feels is how dismissive both Iz and Michael are of Max's feelings about Liz. Especially annoying consider Michael should really fucking know better.

Yeah, because he's been pining for Alex just as long.

Unrequited love hurts just as much. Kiss or no kiss.

That's my take anyway.

Here it comes...

Typing may get bad. Cat is sitting on chest and I can't see keyboard.

Seriously, there is nothing overtly relationshippy or sexual, no pointed stares, but just how soft Michael is, even as he's making the real Manes man comment, you just know these two have a past, and that past was probably intimate.

The casual sex comment though, oh yeah they've fucked. That is such a fuck you comment to an ex.

And again with massive story in few words - Alex knocking his leg. "3/4 of one"

That run and tell Daddy line. The nastiest thing Michael says in the entire season, although we don't know that yet. And it strikes such a dissonant tone, even though we don't know why. I'm gonna put it down to things changing so much between shooting the pilot and the rest of the season.

Just my humble opinion but the shirt changing scene could've lasted longer. Just sayin'

Maths, lots and lots of maths

I love the glass SFX

Rosa!! "All our lives that kids been making eyes at you"

Oh Liz, such a good sister. Fixing up the memorial. And the braclets

Ah, sneaky Liz appears

Oh yeah can he keep a secret

Liz begging Max to tell her she isn't loosing her mind. Fuuuck.

Not cool Michael. Great control, but not cool.

Racist Hank, you douche bag

And Maria introduced as taking no shit from ANYONE.

Iz and her slideshow. I love that line.

Why is Iz so vehement that Michael would be so upset about telling Liz?

Max loosing it and Iz looking quite surprised. Forshadowing

yes, Iz no like about it. He is in love with her.

Ah Iz, Iz, Iz. "Too many secrets, things she can't ever know" you don't know the half of it.

Fall in love with someone else. - If I could have, I would have. Fuck, Max, I feel you on that one.

Jesus, how do all these guys make dark flannel look so hot?

Dance it out. i don't dance in this town anymore, Kyle...

Hot take, I know everyone is mad for Trevino's cheekbones, but honestly, they aren't my thing. But his eyes, gods, his eyes. He has the best eyes on the show. God that make me sound like a freak.

"whatever" with that tiny, tiny almost invisible smirk. Yeah, you think you're all that

He manages that whole distraction use me, use me speech without coming off as a total wanker. And that is pretty amazing.

The station promo/ad on my cable channel has a bit for Roswell - tag line: "Beam me up hotties." Too right.

Scientist Liz!!

Needs answers now.

Fuck you Jesse Manes

I hate you already.

No Kyle, don't do it. But thank fuck he doesn't just start talking,

Yeah, nah Max. That's not how it works. It's not ok if people are nice to you but shitty to everyone else.

Why should Michael like the world? it's been pretty shitty to him!?!

Liz with the serial killer joke, just with the wrong person!!

The pods are sorta cool.

They could've been so chessy.

Now we know why the three of them are so close. And just about the only real bit of exposition on the show.

But will you Liz? Will you keep the promise?

Secret Bunker No 1

"This matters to you, so I'm here". :heart:

Do what Michael, what could you possibly mean?

"Just like you did 10 yrs ago".......

What are you max? Just a guy from Roswell

In Max's favour, when he says he stayed in Roswell, and didn't follow Liz because of Iz and Michael, he doesn't sound resentful, which is sort of what you'd expect here. I like that.And Max going to the reunion for Iz. And Liz tagging along even though she's expecting a bad reception.

"i don't save people all the time. I never save people" But you saved Liz, And why is that Max?

OT re Trevino's eyes. It was that gif set of him laying on his stomach on his bed (?) with his doggo, looking up to the camera. That angle, OMG, his eyes....

And no verbal confirmation, just Liz realising exactly what Max said - that even though he's in a job where he'd be in contact with sick/dying people alot, he's never saved anyone before. Omph

Of course you remember the very first time you met, Max.

Little kid Max is sooo cute.

Ah you big sap, Max.

No kissing. An "Echo" of what he feels for Liz.

Nice choice of words there writers.

We see what you did there.

So far it's taken me 2 hrs to watch 50 mins

Fuck you again Jesse Manes

Swoon Kyle's eyes.

And we have Kyle's first exposure to the fact that the govt knows about aliens and did medical type stuff to them. Does this hover in the back of his mind from now on? is this the reason for the quick reaction to his fathers actions at Caufield.?

No he's fucking not cooking meth. Seriously, Alex, what the fuck?

Sorry Alex, not cool, not cool AT all.

I want to see the outakes of Tyler saying phenyl-2-propanone

Because I'm a bitch like that

Yeah, that so serious up close and personal for straight people....

And there is Alex's nastiest line - You're wasting your life. Gods, that is such a shit thing to say to Michael.

And re outtakes because Tyler would laugh and do that thing where he covers his mouth as he trys to stop himself giggling. That's soooo cute.

But anyway, back to the show...

Oh, he wants to hold something, Michael but it's not your hand...

Macho cowboy swagger.

Did it get old for you.

No it did not get fucking old for him. At all.

Michael walking away with arm around girl. Noting for those who say they didn't realise Michael was bi after watching the pilot. How?

How could you miss it?

You go Maria - dying alone of syphillis to bitch

Maybe Liz does still dance in Roswell!! She just needs a good reason.

And that song begins.

"You can't hide from who you are". Alex's prothesis as he looks at himeself skating in the slide show. Fucking killing us.

And it only gets worse-

I don't thnk that's an unpopular opinon at all. That's totally where I see his headspace. But that does result in him saying some nasty shit to Michael. And it's because we know it's not true that it hurts so much.

Fair warning it may take me half an hour to get through the next 2 mins of show!!

Long shot - "Nostalgia's a bitch"

Fuck, the way Michael looks at Alex as he's leaning against the door. People have started wars to have someone look at them like that. That's Greek epic shit right there.

Then cut shot to Max and Iz looking at Liz.

Alex expecting Michael to be gone from Roswell.

"Is that what you want" as Michael takes a step closer. Not "wanted", but "want".

"What I want doesn't matter" as they both slowly sway towards each other. Bullshit, Alex. What you want is ALL that matters. Fuck everything else.

Michael's eyes flicking up to Alex's face....

And Michael launches himself at Alex like a dying man.

God, how do you even describe that kiss?? Everything about it is just.......

But it's more than just the fire. Its the tenderness of Michael gently craddling Alexs' head even though the kiss is passionate and desperate.

Battery break

And then, back to reality - Iz knows that Max has told Liz.

And then Jess Fucking Manes (I fututus et mori in ignie cunne) (don't look that up it's very bad swearing) talking about being monsters who despise compassion and love. Projecting much.

"Thrive on our tragedy". Die MF Die

Despise Love over a visual of Michael and Alex. Die some more you MF

But you haven't told Liz everything have you Max. There's still some stuff you're hiding.

"When the truth hunts you down"

Yeah, that truth is going to hunt you down and fuck you up Max

My house just wobbled.

No, there isn't a secret that is safe.

And people will be caught in the crossfire - have already.

"What's lost will be found, when the truth hunts you down."

Well doesn't that one line sum up a ton of shit that goes down in the rest of the season.

And fin

3 hrs

That was not what I planned.

Aspects & Fanfics Ep. 23: Roman’s Nightmare

Here comes a new episode of this fanfic inspired on Sanders Sides by Thomas Sanders, Joan S. and the Foster Dawg Team. It will probably be the last of the year, but if everything goes as expected, it will not be the last post, Sanders Sides fiction wise, as once I’ve finished this episode, I’m starting working on another thing for Christmas. I hope I can get it on time.

Now, on with the present episode. Just a fair warning that you may know if you’ve seen the previous snippet I published a couple of weeks ago. Remus appears in this episode. Not only he appears, he’s gonna play a predominant part. And that means he’s gonna let go comments like the one featured in the snippet every once in a while. Also, as previous readers already know, this fic features a lot of romantic prinxiety (they’re married in this fic, of course it’s gonna feature prinxiety). And speaking about Roman, this episode is gonna feature flashbacks that portray a somehow unsympathetic version of Roman at times, in the context that Roman is not proud at all of these moments, featuring things that may be triggers to someone, like speaking cruelly towards Remus and Virgil, also his lack of self-worth value. Also, to ease possible confusion, the flashback are going to mention real moments of Sanders Sides as well as moments featured only in this fic.

Well that is it. If you want to read previous entries of this fic, you can find them right here. And thank you to everyone still reading this fic as well as giving likes or reblogging, it means the world to me. Merry Christmas and until next time.

SYNOPSIS: Thomas is exhausted after a long week of hard work in numerous projects, but Roman still asks him to turn him back into a Light Side. As feared by Logan, the exhaustion doesn’t let Thomas complete the process and Roman loses consciousness and can’t wake up. Now Roman must wander through a nightmare where he’ll have to face all his fears and insecurities, as well as all the moments he did wrong in his life, and he’ll have to come out victorious or else he’ll never wake up again.

WARNINGS: Prinxiety. Verbally abusive behavior by Roman towards Remus and Virgil, lack of self-worth issues. Remus and his intrusive thoughts. Implied sexual references at times.

EPISODE INDEX

[Thomas enters his apartment]

THOMAS: Well, with the last song recorded, at last, all the immediate projects are wrapped. Now, at last, I have a few free days ahead… to start shopping for Christmas like a maniac. [sighs] Oh, a dude’s work is never done…

[intro sequence]

THOMAS: What is up, everybody!? Well, even when I wasn’t quite sure about it, I did survive the last week of intense hard work. Now, it is time for a well earned period of relaxation…

[Roman pops up, looking at Thomas with a serious face, not saying a word]

THOMAS: Oh, hi, Roman, how are you doing?

ROMAN: [same serious face] Well, I’m fine… as fine as you can be when you’re a Dark Side, that is.

THOMAS: Yes, I’m sorry about that. But don’t worry, tomorrow is gonna be the big day.

ROMAN: [in shock] What? Tomorrow? You mean that I’ve got to wait for another day yet?

THOMAS: I’m sorry, Roman, I know you’re eager to turn back to normal, but this week has been a nightmare. I couldn’t find a single free second for you.

ROMAN: Well, you’ve said it yourself, you’re free now. So why don’t we start it right now?

THOMAS: Roman, please. Right now I’m exhausted. I need some time to rest before…

ROMAN: [angry] For you, that’s easy to say! You don’t have to go through what I’m going through! I can only see you guys for two hours a day, and the rest of the day I have to spend it all alone! You call your week a nightmare? At least you have the chance to work with your friends or people whose company you enjoy and who will pick you up when you feel down. My life is a nightmare right now. You say that you enjoy your alone time, but not even you could bear so many days like this of pure loneliness. Not being able to talk to anyone, or even see any friendly face that can give me love and support is killing me. I… I can’t bear it anymore. I… I need everything to be back like it was before, with you guys in my life, or I’ll go crazier than Remus! I beg of you, turn me back into a Light Side right now! Please!

[Virgil rises up]

VIRGIL: [hugging him] It’s okay, Roman, it’s okay… Calm down…

ROMAN: And the worst part is that I cannot even see you. I… I don’t even know if, after so much time away from you, you’ll still love me, or if you’re already forgetting me. I can’t take that thought out of my head. I try, but it returns, and returns, and returns… like one of Remus’ intrusive thoughts, and it literally doesn’t let me live. I…

[Virgil kisses Roman, interrupting his statement]

VIRGIL: Take these thoughts out of your head right now. Don’t you ever doubt that I still love you. I know that my experience is nothing compared to yours, since I had Thomas and the Sides to support me all the time, but I still needed you in my life. I’m still missing you each and every day. The two hours we spend together each day are the best hours of the day. You may be a Dark Side, but still you manage to bring light into my life in these two hours. And I can’t wait to have you back in my life permanently like before. If that’s not proof that my love for you is still intact, I don’t know what else could be.

[Roman kisses Virgil, then he hugs him again]

ROMAN: [faint sobbing] I love you so… so much. And I miss you so much.

REMUS: [suddenly appearing, with an over the top emotional face] This is so cute…

THOMAS: Remus? What are you doing here?

ROMAN: [putting himself together, cleaning his eyes] It’s okay, Thomas. Remus and I have fixed our relation and…

REMUS: [serious] Don’t think I didn’t hear you calling me crazy, Roman. Is that what you really think of me? I thought you liked me now! [threatening voice] You’ve betrayed me and you’re gonna suffer for it!

ROMAN: [a little scared] Remus, I’m sorry, I didn’t…

REMUS: [giggling] Nah, I was kidding. Thank you in fact. I love crazy!

THOMAS: [sighs] Of course you do…

REMUS: Speaking of crazy, I have noticed that loose thread clinging from your shirt Thomas, and it’s driving me mad.

THOMAS: Yes, I have noticed it too, Re…

REMUS: Pull it with all your might! Tear away that little son of a b… [bleep] !

THOMAS: But I could tear off the whole shirt in half if I did that!

REMUS: [over dramatic] That’s even better! Turn that old shirt into a vest right now! Set your belly button free, Thomas! It’s time to show your followers the fruits of all these months of training!

ROMAN: [facepalms] Remus, please… Okay, I’m sorry, Thomas…

THOMAS: It’s okay. I already know Remus. In the end he’s really harmless.

REMUS: [genuinely offended] You take that back right now!

THOMAS: [ignoring him] Getting back on topic… I’m sorry, Roman. I didn’t know you were going through so much.

ROMAN: It’s okay, Thomas. It’s just that it’s not easy to be so close, yet so far away from my beloved ones. I thought I could take it, but days went on, and on, and each day was harder than the previous one. Please, don’t mind me, Thomas. It was just a nervous breakdown. Of course I can wait for another day if you need it.

THOMAS: No, Roman, I’m not making you go through another day of loneliness. I’m gonna try to do it right now.

REMUS: Do what, exactly? Not that I care, it’s just curiosity.

VIRGIL: Thomas is going to turn Roman back into a Light Side using his Light Master powers. [Remus shows a brief face of concern but quickly masks it behind his usual face] But are you sure you can do it, Thomas? You said yourself you were exhausted.

THOMAS: Nothing that a good cup of coffee can’t fix, Virgil.

LOGAN: [rising up] I don’t know if that’s a good idea, Thomas. You’ve been working on your new album for 18 hours, 46 minutes and 38 seconds today, all of them consecutive, and last night you only slept for three hours.

THOMAS: I just wanted it to be as perfect as possible, Logan. We did it, but it took a lot of work and time, and…

LOGAN: I know, and I’m glad that you want to give your best in each project that you work on, but rest is also a significant part of the process that shouldn’t be belittled. However, that’s not the point. The point is, right now, you’re clearly sleep deprived and in this state, you may not be able to control your Light Master powers appropriately. You should go to bed and try tomorrow.

THOMAS: I’m sure it’s not that bad. I’ve been worse in terms of sleep deprivation. I’m fine…

REMUS: I love these scissors on your counter, so shiny, so sharp… You know what, Thomas? You should grab your brand new headphones, and these scissors, and make a pitch perfect piñata full of confetti! Let’s party!

THOMAS: [beat] Okay… almost fine. But I think I’m good enough to try. Roman is not okay, Logan. I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep if I make him spend another whole day like that.

LOGAN: Okay, Thomas. If you think that your concern over Roman won’t let you sleep, then I guess we don’t have a choice, since tomorrow you would be in an ever worse state than today. We’ll do it now. But be careful, okay?

THOMAS: Okay, Logan.

ROMAN: Are you sure, Thomas? I’m telling you I can wait if you need it.

THOMAS: Yes, Roman, I’m sure. If you’re ready.

ROMAN: I’m ready when you are, Thomas. Thank you.

LOGAN: Then if you’re all ready…

PATTON: [rising up] Wait! If there’s no pop, you must stop! Don’t do this without me!

DECEIT: [rising up] I’m not missing this either.

HONESTY: [rising up] Me neither.

LOGAN: Okay, now that we’re all here, let’s go. I hope you tidied your room, Roman.

ROMAN: What? We’re going to my room? Won’t it be dangerous to you, guys?

LOGAN: We must do this in your room, Roman. The room must also be changed back from Dark to Light. All the changes that have occurred to you have been in your room or in Sandersia, which is an extension of your room. This final change is no exception. Don’t worry, Roman. If everything goes right, you won’t be a Dark Side enough time to corrupt us.

ROMAN: Okay, if you say so. I hope you know what you’re doing, Logan.

LOGAN: I always know what I’m doing. To do something you must know what you’re about to do and…

ROMAN: It was an expression, Logan. Okay, let’s go to my room then.

[everybody sinks down. Then they appear in Roman’s room]

LOGAN: Okay, here we are. First of all, Thomas. Summon your Light Master self.

THOMAS: Okay, Logan.

[Thomas closes his eyes and concentrates for a few seconds. After this short time, he opens his eyes again, and they’re of silver gray color]

ROMAN: Wow, that was fast!

THOMAS: Thank you, I’ve been practicing every free moment I had.

VIRGIL: You look so pail now, though. Are you sure you can do this?

THOMAS: [with a firm, but at the same time slightly weak voice] Yes, Virgil. Don’t worry about me…

[Virgil looks at Thomas with a face of concern]

LOGAN: Okay. Now you know what to do, right? Concentrate onto Roman and search for his Dark Energy. You have the knowledge inside to turn it into Light Energy. Don’t lose your concentration once you start. This is really important.

THOMAS: Okay. Roman, are you ready?

ROMAN: Yes, Thomas.

THOMAS: Then don’t move.

[Thomas concentrates and a black aura surrounds him. He projects that aura onto Roman, who starts floating in the air]

VIRGIL: Whoa…

[The aura starts changing color, until it turns some sort of gray. Then Thomas suddenly seems to lose balance, his face looks white like a ghost]

LOGAN: Thomas, are you okay?

ROMAN: I don’t feel… so… good…

VIRGIL: Roman? Are you okay?

[suddenly, the gray aura disappears, and Thomas falls to the floor, unconscious. At that moment, all of the Sides go unconscious too, still standing still. Roman, who was floating, falls to the floor. They all stay unconscious for a few seconds. Then Thomas starts waking up, and at the same time the Sides recover consciousness too]

PATTON: What… what’s happened?

LOGAN: [shaking his head] It seems Thomas lost consciousness for some reason, and as a result we also fainted.

VIRGIL: Roman, are you okay? [Roman doesn’t wake up, Virgil gets scared and goes to check on him] Roman!? What’s wrong with you?

THOMAS: [still dizzy, his eyes have turned back to brown and he’s recovered some color on his cheeks] What… what’s happened?

LOGAN: Your exhaustion has taken a toll over you, and you couldn’t bare it, as I feared. You collapsed in the middle of the process, and now Roman…

THOMAS: [noticing Roman on the ground] Oh, no! What have I done? Roman, are you all right?

REMUS: [also worried] What’s wrong with you, bro?

[Remus, Patton and Thomas approach Roman]

LOGAN: Guys, don’t panic. Step aside and let me see…

[Thomas and the Sides step back. Logan kneels over Roman and checks him]

LOGAN: He’s breathing normally. It looks as if he was asleep.

VIRGIL: But why doesn’t he wake up, Logan?

LOGAN: I’ll see what I can find out.

[Logan places his hand over Roman’s chest. He shakes for a few seconds, then takes his hand off]

LOGAN: Okay. It looks like he’s got stuck in a dream. A secondary effect due to the premature exit of the process.

VIRGIL: And how do we wake him up?

LOGAN: I’m afraid there’s not much we can do. Roman must wake up by his own means. For that, he must go through the dream, from start to finish. He’s gonna face some of his deepest fears and his deepest feelings of guilt. It is a way for him to complete the part of the process that was halted. Only when the dream is over we’ll be able to wake him up. But who knows how long it will take him.

THOMAS: Oh, my goodness, I’m so sorry, Virgil…

VIRGIL: It’s okay. You didn’t have any ill will. This was an accident. But are you sure you’re okay now?

THOMAS: I’m okay now, physically at least… But I’m so worried. I wish we could see how he’s doing in that dream.

REMUS: I think I can help with that.

[Remus invokes an orb]

THOMAS: That’s like the orb Roman invoked so that we could see what he was doing when you were after the Dark Master.

REMUS: Of course it is. Have you forgotten I’m Creativity too? Roman and I share some abilities and we’re still connected in a way. With this orb, we can take a look inside his dream and see how he’s doing.

THOMAS: Well done, Remus. I never thought there’d be a time when I could say that… Okay, let’s watch, then…

[the orb shows images of Roman. He’s alone in a black infinity]

ROMAN: Where am I? How did I get here? Am I in the Dark Realm? [fear] Is this what my future is going to be? All alone in the Dark Realm as a Dark Side? Thomas! Virgil! Guys, where are you? Somebody, please! I… I don’t wanna be alone.

[a tear falls down Virgil’s cheek]

PATTON: It’s okay, Virgil. It’s just a dream. When he wakes up, he’ll be okay.

VIRGIL: I know, dad, but… It’s just that… dreams always come for a reason, for something that affects us, whether positively or negatively… and Roman seems to have been so distressed, and so alone, for so long. If only I could have been there with him… I wish I could turn back into a Dark Side to stay by his side.

[Roman starts walking. Soon he finds a light]

ROMAN: What’s that?

[Roman starts running to the light. When he crosses the light, he finds himself in his room, but it’s much simpler than Roman’s actual room. It is full of drawings, hand-written notebooks, cut-outs, and other creative stuff for children]

ROMAN: It’s my room… but it’s just like I had it when I was little. Right when I…

[A child version of Roman rises up in the room, in front of adult Roman. He’s dressed with a navy blue uniform and a brown sash, his eyes are soaring red and streams of tears fall down his cheeks. He doesn’t seem to notice Roman’s presence]

ROMAN: That’s… me? No, that’s my old me, before I split. It’s when I started becoming a teen and having these new creative thoughts that unsettled Thomas so much… What is going on? Why am I seeing this?

CHILD ROMAN: It’s… it’s the first time I felt rejected by Thomas… I felt his distress and hatred against me… even before I could show up to him. He really hated everything I was creating for him… And it’s because of this… [grabs his brown sash] Thank goodness I didn’t end up showing up in front him, he would have hated me even more looking like this… just as I hate myself right now. Why did I have to change? Why is this happening to me? I don’t want this! And I don’t want Thomas to hate me! We used to be best friends. My purpose in life is to please him with my creations. If I can’t do that, then what’s the f… [bleep] point? Wow, and now I’m even using bad language? I never used these kind of words before. What is going on!?

ROMAN: I was so lost… so in the dark… I was a child entering adolescence, not understanding anything that was happening to me… Well, Thomas was, but as a part of him, especially being his romantic Side, I felt everything he felt as my own. If I had known what I know now… If Thomas had known back then… everything would have been so much easier… But back then, he didn’t even have his conversations with us all together yet. We, the Sides, barely knew each other. If only Patton had been there to tell me that this wasn’t inherently wrong. If only Logan had told me that this train of thought was only the result of a rush of chemicals and hormones inside of Thomas… Guys, I’ve always needed you so much in my life. I wish you were here right now.

VIRGIL: [grabbing the orb, shaking it and yelling at it] We are here, Roman! Please, wake up!

REMUS: [taking the orb from Virgil’s hands] Be careful, emo! You’re gonna break it! Do you know how much it takes to create one of these? I couldn’t create another one until tomorrow if you crack it!

DECEIT: Roman created two of these in a matter of hours.

REMUS: Well, I’m not Roman, okay? As far as nifty creativity comes, I got the lion’s share, but when it comes to brute summoning strength, I’m afraid I’m at the shallow end of the gene pool.

HONESTY: There was no need to misquote “The Lion King”…

DECEIT: …and this makes me feel concerned about Roman’s security bearing in mind who he’s quoting…

REMUS: Let’s just keep watching, okay?

CHILD ROMAN: If Thomas doesn’t want this part of me, then I don’t want it either. Whatever you are… [closes his eyes and puts a face of struggle] get away from me!

[As child Roman starts struggling, his whole body starts glowing in brown. Then the glow covers his whole body. Soon the brown starts turning into a turmoil of red and green, until the green part concentrates in the center and the rest becomes red. After a few seconds, the green light is expelled from the red light. After that, the red light disappears, appearing child Roman as he usually is, with his white suit and red sash. He looks at the green light, confused. After some time, the green light turns into a child with a black suit and a green sash. He obviously doesn’t have a mustache yet, but he does have the white lock of hair in the bangs. He looks around, confused. Then he notices little Roman]

CHILD REMUS: [happy] Oh, brother! There you are!

CHILD ROMAN: [in shock] What did you say? You mean I’m your… [doesn’t say the word]

CHILD REMUS: Yes, I’m your brother, Roman. My name is Remus, and I’m so happy to be with you right now! We’re going to have so much fun together! Because that’s why you put me out of you, so that you could get to know me and we could get to speak and be together, right? What else would make you do that?

CHILD ROMAN: [nervous] Yeah… what else…?

CHILD REMUS: So, what are we going to do first? I know! Let’s go to the Dream Factory! I’ve got a couple of dreams I want to show you to give to Thomas. You’ll see how fun!

[Remus sinks down]

CHILD ROMAN: [also sinking down] Wait, Remus, no! Don’t touch my Dream Factory!

ROMAN: He started wreaking havoc right after being born… I remember he created the most horrid creatures in the Dream Factory and wanted to set them on the loose in the Mind Palace… Thank goodness I could control him and prevent him to do that… And yet, there was this other part of him. Yes, he was a dangerous lunatic… but he loved me on first sight. He got so happy when he first saw me, and his first words were to call me brother.

REMUS: Of course I loved you. I am what I am. Our methods may be drastically different, and I recognize I love to pester you because you deserve it after all you made me go through, but at the end of the day, you’re still my brother and we share the same blood… Well, the same aspect. I’m literally part of you. How could I not love you?

ROMAN: If only I had tried to be that big brother he really needed, instead of… Whoa!

[suddenly the room disappears and Roman falls into a black infinity, until he crashes on the ground]

ROMAN: Ouch! That hurts! What gives…? What is that?

[Roman notices a light going through a half open door. He opens it and gets out. Now he is on a boat, in front of the Island of Forbidden Creativity. Little Roman and little Remus are about to get off to the beach]

CHILD REMUS: [happily excited] This boat trip was such a great idea, Roman! Did you discover this island yourself? I love it! Here we’re gonna be able to make castles, warriors, princesses, [with a gruesome voice] inquisitors, murderers, executors, weapons, guillotines! All with the sand and ashes from this island! You’re a genius, Roman, I love you!

CHILD ROMAN: Remus…

CHILD REMUS: What are we going to play first, Roman? Do you want me to choose or do you want to choose first?

CHILD ROMAN: [yelling, angry] Remus!

[Remus looks at Roman a little startled]

CHILD ROMAN: I’m not playing anything with you. You’re gonna stay here in this island, as your new home.

CHILD REMUS: [scared] What? But why? I thought you loved me! What did I ever do to you?

CHILD ROMAN: [angry] What did you do to me? Do I have to tell everything you did? You put the Dream Factory in danger with your stupid games! You unsettle Thomas with your naughty intrusive thoughts, and thank God he hasn’t seen you yet! You damage and destroy all the creations I try to conceive, no matter how many times I told you not to mess up with my works! Do I need to continue?

CHILD REMUS: But I’m Creativity too, Roman! Thomas needs me too!

CHILD ROMAN: Ha! I’m not so sure he does! No one needs you! You’re just a piece of garbage that is of no use for anyone! Who would ever want to have you nearby, anyway!?

CHILD REMUS: [fighting tears] I… I thought you did. You are my brother, Ro…

CHILD ROMAN: Don’t you dare call me like that again! I’m not your… what you said! Now I’m leaving. And stay in the island!

CHILD REMUS: [distressed, now crying] Roman, please! Don’t leave me here all alone like this! I don’t even have a house where to live, and you know I’m not strong enough to invoke big things!

[little Roman invokes a medallion and gives it to Remus]

CHILD ROMAN: Here, take this. With this medallion that has a little bit of my energy, you’ll be able to invoke a house and a bed. You better use it for that, cause this sea is deep and full of dangers. I assure you you don’t want to get lost on it while trying to follow me. Now, farewell.

CHILD REMUS: Roman! If you leave me all alone like this, I’m gonna go crazy! What will become of me?

CHILD ROMAN: [jumping on board, not looking behind, with a cold voice] Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a dang.

[the boat sails away, while Remus desperately yells at Roman begging him to come back until the boat gets lost in the horizon. Roman, horrified, is in the beach, next to little Remus who looks at the horizon, desperately crying like the child he really is]

ROMAN: I… I didn’t realize how cruel I was. What a horrible treatment I gave him… Yes, I was fed up with Remus and I genuinely thought I was protecting Thomas by doing that, but… this was unnecessary and unjustifiable. No wonder how he reacted when he returned to the shore, or why he did what he did… I’m so sorry, Remus. There’s nothing I can do to remedy this, but I truly wish I could…

[Remus is also with tears in his eyes watching the orb]

REMUS: Yes. It was unnecessary. You were really cruel and cold. I guess in the split these traits stayed with you, in part at least. And the worst is I couldn’t understand why you did it. Yes, you told me, but you never tried to make me understand why what I was doing was so bad. I had barely just been born. If you had taken the time to teach me, I could have learned, and maybe Thomas would have benefited from that. Instead, you just dumped me out and pretended in front of Thomas and your friends that I didn’t even exist. Now it’s too late to remedy that, I guess. Now I can’t change, and I don’t want to change anyway. Like I said, I am what I am, and you made me this way. [cleans his tears away, pulls out a handkerchief and blows his nose loudly and comically, returning to his usual smiley attitude] But you know what? I don’t care, anyway. I’m no longer affected by that kind of shenanigans, at all.

[Deceit looks at Remus with a sad face]

REMUS: What are you looking at, slimy boi?

DECEIT: It’s nothing. It’s just that… you remind me so much of myself not so long ago…

[Remus scoffs at Deceit with a bit of nervousness. Deceit just smirks at him with the same sad glance]

REMUS: Okay, let’s focus on the orb, shall we?

[The island and everything around Roman disappears and turns black]

ROMAN: I hope this time I don’t fall down somewhere… Why is this all happening to me, anyway?

[after a few moments, Roman appears in the regular living room. But instead of in his usual position, he’s watching from the couch. Thomas is having a conversation with the Sides, who are wearing their old outfits]

ROMAN: Ooff… I remember this. This was from long ago, before Virgil clocked out.

[the Sides seem to end their conversation and start sinking out, everyone except Roman and Virgil, who stay there. Thomas just goes to the kitchen, no longer aware of their presence, like in the series’ end cards]

ORB VIRGIL: Roman, will you cut it out already?

ORB ROMAN: What do you mean, Brendon Urine?

ORB VIRGIL: That’s what I mean, precisely! Will you stop giving me these nicknames already? I don’t like them!

ORB ROMAN: Well, there are lots of things I don’t like about you, and I have to put up with them.

ORB VIRGIL: Oh, really? Can you name a few of these things you don’t like?

ORB ROMAN: Anxiety, stop it. I’m not in the mood right now for this conversation. Not after you, once again, pushed Thomas away from that great project that could have changed his life.

ORB VIRGIL: Well, I am in the mood. Because I need to know. All I said today was in Thomas’ benefit, because the possibilities of that project to be successful were below reasonable, and you know it. But you just won’t give in just for the sake of being against me. Why do you hate me so much? I have managed to come to terms with Patton, and even with Logan in order of seeking what’s best for Thomas. But you’re just ruthless about me. What did I ever do to you so you despise me like this? I want to know so that I can fix it if I can, at least to have a healthy communication with you.

ORB ROMAN: [angry yelling] There’s nothing you can fix! You know why? Because the problem is you, as a whole! You are a complete nuisance that only hinders Thomas and doesn’t let him follow his dreams and passions! And there’s nothing you can do to change it because that is who you are! You just fill Thomas with fears and suffering and I hate you for that! Heck, you don’t even realize how much damage you do to Thomas! In his benefit? Ha! Yes, I hate you, Anxiety and I wish you just left to your room and never came back! You’d make this prince’s biggest dream a reality. But some wishes can’t come true, unfortunately!

[Virgil looks at Roman with a mixed face of anger and hurt]

ORB VIRGIL: Well, at least you’ve said the truth for once in your life, Princey. It’s good to know that there’s nothing I can do to make you like me. It will save me the effort.

[Virgil sinks down]

ORB ROMAN: Ugh… that emo nuisance always manages to drive me mad. Just like…

[he doesn’t finish his statement and just sinks down. Roman gets up from the couch and watches Thomas cooking some noodles on the stove]

ROMAN: …just like Remus, that’s what I was going to say. Gosh, I never apologized to Virgil for that. He clocked out just after that, and I believe it was all my fault. I spoke out of anger at what I thought was another example of Virgil messing around with my plans for Thomas. But he was right, it was too delusional, and I put all the blame on him when Logan, and even Patton, were also on board with him. I was just a stubborn idiot, as usual, a bratty baby, like Logan once called me. I really hope Virgil doesn’t hold it against me. He has so many reasons to hate me… and yet he chose to love me, even though I don’t deserve it.

VIRGIL: Yes, you do, Roman. It’s true that, at that moment, you made me feel like the most miserable being on Earth, but I also remember how you made me feel like the most valued being on Earth just a few hours later, when you said those words of apology to me, “You make us better”. That moment when you spoke from the heart instead of from your fears, made me feel so… so… fulfilled. And then, the following months, when you tried so hard to make amends, when you tried to avoid hurting my feelings again… I think it was then when I slowly started falling in love with you. Of course I forgive you for that tantrum. When we’re angry and confused we always say words we don’t really feel, and I’m not holding it against you. When you wake up, I’ll make sure to tell you that to give you peace of heart, at least in regards to that.

ROMAN: [heartwarming smile] I love you, Virgil, and as God is my witness, I swear I’ll never make you feel unwanted ever again.

VIRGIL: [confused] Do… do you think he heard me, guys?

PATTON: Of course he’s heard you, son. Maybe not with his ears, but love is a mysterious force and it has its ways of reaching out to someone. In a way, he’s heard everything you’ve said, I’m sure.

VIRGIL: I hope you’re right, dad.

[Suddenly Roman loses balance and falls sitting down. Before he has time to notice, he’s in the court room from “Selfishness v. Selflessness”, just when Deceit is delivering his statement to Roman]

ORB DECEIT: I know you’re lying, Roman. Like I said, everything has a purpose, and you’re denying yours. You want that callback so bad and it will crush you if we miss it.

ROMAN: Not this… not again. Is this…? Am I dying and that’s why I’m revisiting all these moments in my life? Why am I going through this?

[soon, Roman is again sitting in the couch, right after Deceit has left]

ORB THOMAS: I wanna… thank you, for helping to set me straight despite the cost. I know it wasn’t easy for you.

ORB ROMAN: [sad face] It wasn’t… [smiles] but you’re welcome.

[then old Roman sinks down and Roman follows him to his room]

ROMAN: This is more recent. I remember vividly how I…

[old Roman sits on his board and starts crying]

ORB ROMAN: What’s the point? Seriously, what’s the point of all of this? No matter what, I’m going nowhere, for one reason or another. When will my work be recognized by someone other than Thomas? I’m afraid that there comes a time when Thomas is in his bed, reminisces of his past, and realizes that he hasn’t achieved anything, and it will be my fault. I’m a failure. I want to do better, but I don’t know how! [sobs] I don’t know how…

[Patton rises up]

ORB PATTON: Don’t talk like that, kiddo! You’re not a failure at all. The wedding happening on the same day as the callback is not your fault!

ORB ROMAN: [startled, cleaning quickly his tears] Ahem… Patton, how long have you been there? It’s okay, never mind. I know that it’s not my fault, but it’s just that… I keep working and working everyday harder than the previous one. And I feel that my work is going nowhere. Today it’s for the wedding. Tomorrow it will be for Thomas getting choked on an audition, the next day for a technical failure in a hard drive that destroys all the files containing my works… It’s like I’m the one getting all the hinders in this and I’m doing this for nothing. I can’t go on like this, Patton. It’s frustrating.

ORB PATTON: What do you mean it’s going nowhere? Just take a look at Thomas. Your art and your creations make Thomas happy and fulfilled. Even if something gets in the way for him to make that art accessible for a bigger audience, that doesn’t make that art bad or useless. It has made Thomas happy and you should take that into account. Thomas is the most important member of your audience and, let me say it, the most demanding about what is and is not good art. If you can please Thomas, you can please anyone you set your eyes on. And eventually, you will, kiddo. I’m sure of that. Just keep working like you do and sooner or later, you’ll get your reward. As long as you don’t give up, it’s only a matter of time.

ORB ROMAN: I guess… but still…

[Patton approaches Roman and hugs him]

ORB PATTON: But still… nothing. Just take your time to relax and you’ll see things with a clearer perspective. And you’ll be back to action before you notice, stronger than ever, like the most wonderful prince in the world that you are.

ORB ROMAN: Okay, Patton… thank you so much for always being there to support us. I love you.

ORB PATTON: I love you too, kiddo. And I’ll always be proud of you, if that makes you feel better about your art.

ORB ROMAN: Of course it does, thank you so much, Dad.

ORB PATTON: Don’t mention it, kiddo.

ROMAN: At last one good moment… Patton has always been there, ready to give us all of his support when we felt down, taking his paternal figure duties very seriously in the middle of his silliness. I’m so happy to have him as a father-in-law now.

PATTON: And I’m very happy to have you as my son-in-law, Roman.

ROMAN: I feel dizzy…

[the room starts spinning around Roman, then it changes to the living room]

ROMAN: For Idina Menzel’s sake, couldn’t all this visions take place in the same room?

[the Sides are as puppets, and Logan has just thrown the paper ball to Roman’s eye]

ROMAN: …or at least happen chronologically to lessen this royal figure’s confusion? We are not amused.

[After this moment, Roman appears again in his room. The old Roman is there, looking at the state of his eye in a mirror when Logan appears in robot puppet form]

ORB ROMAN: Oh, Logan, hi.

ORB LOGAN: Hi, Roman… Oh, I see you are checking the state of your eyeball. I hope the impact of my improvised ammunition didn’t cause you any harm to your crystalline lens.

ORB ROMAN: Oh, don’t worry, I’m not gonna need these lens you mentioned or regular glasses, my eyes are fine. A little itchy, but fine.

ORB LOGAN: [beat] …glad to hear that. Um, I’m coming here because I kinda need your help.

ORB ROMAN: What is it?

ORB LOGAN: I’m stuck in robot mode. How do I get back to my normal self?

ORB ROMAN: Oh, I can help you with that.

[Roman snaps his fingers and Logan turns back into human form]

ORB LOGAN: Oh, that’s much better. Thank you. I was wondering how I was going to turn pages while reading my books with those clamps instead of fingers…

ORB ROMAN: You’re welcome. Logan, now that you’re here, I wanted to apologize again for calling you stupid.

ORB LOGAN: It’s okay. I, on my part, shouldn’t have overreacted like that. I don’t know where that came from. I’m sorry for that.

ORB ROMAN: Oh, don’t worry, Logan. It’s water under the bridge.

ORB LOGAN: [confused] N… No, it’s not. It was a paper ball, and there was no bridge to throw it under, unless you mean your nose bridge. Is that what you meant?

ORB ROMAN: It… It’s an expression, Logan. Write it down in your vocab cards. It means that it’s forgotten.

ORB LOGAN: Oh, thank you, Roman. You must think that I’m stupid for not knowing these kinds of idioms…

ORB ROMAN: Of course I don’t, Logan! You’re not stupid, what are you talking about!? If there’s someone stupid in this group, it has to be me. Your mistakes at least come from applying logic to language and are honest mistakes that are easily fixable. Me, on the other half, I’m hopeless. I always try to stretch my methods into the real world when they don’t truly belong there. Why, you must think that I’m a conceited idiot. I myself think that most of the time.

ORB LOGAN: Roman, that’s a falsehood. It’s true that you usually show a pompous attitude and always try to put yourself above all the rest in our conversations. But, under that facade, the real you has shown up from time to time. Why do you always think so low about yourself, Roman? If you saw things logically, like I do, you would see that you… [pulls out a vocab card] hold all the winning cards. You are at the core of Thomas’ livelihood, and he loves almost everything you create. You are figuratively and literally royalty among the Sides. So why are you the only one who can’t see that?

ORB ROMAN: I… I don’t know, Logan. I just don’t see myself worthy of all of that. I haven’t managed to do anything good enough to deserve it.

ORB LOGAN: Well, I’m not an expert on fiction quality, but I can manage numbers, and you just have to see how many subscribers Thomas has, how many views his videos get and how many people goes to see him in his live performances, even willing to travel thousands of miles to reach to where he performs. And most of that is your merit, Roman. It’s true that numbers don’t necessarily mean quality, but if everything you made was so mediocre as you say it is, why would the audience stick with us, or why would they have come in the first place? Seriously, Roman. You should stop pretending that you believe in yourself and start believing in yourself for real. It would be a vast improvement in your working routine and a boost in the results.

ORB ROMAN: Well… I guess you’re right. Thank you, Logan. I’ll try, but it’s not easy.

ORB LOGAN: Well, you know better than me. I know nothing about feelings.

[Roman watches the scene]

ROMAN: I think that’s the closest Logan and I have ever been. We clash and argue a lot, but that’s because our methods are very different. In the end, we have a common goal, and that’s to be as productive as possible for Thomas to deliver only the best of the best, and that’s why, in the end, we’ll always find a common ground to resolve our issues and work in a friendly way.

LOGAN: Agreed. We just have to get to know each other, how we can complement each other working-wise, and then we’ll deliver the best productivity we can.

PATTON: And you’ll also get to be closer friends, Logan, don’t omit that you want that too.

LOGAN: Okay, okay. Friendship is also important working-wise, so I concede that I look forward for it too.

THOMAS: Well, that’s the closest he’s gonna get to making a platonic love declaration, I guess.

VIRGIL: In public, at least.

HONESTY: Guys, look at the orb.

ROMAN: And now what’s going on?

[the room starts spiraling around Roman and he flies away as if inside a twister. In a few moments, he lands in a pitch-black place]

ROMAN: If that happens again… I’m gonna throw up… Wait, what is this place? Is this… the Dark Realm again?

[Deceit appears in front of Roman]

ORB DECEIT: Hello, Roman.

ROMAN: Deceit? You’re here for real and you can see me? How can this be? What is going on?

DECEIT: Wait, who is that? That’s not me, why is he impersonating me?

ORB DECEIT: You have so much darkness in your soul, Roman. You have just seen a few examples. Do you really think you’re of any use to Thomas in your state? I don’t think so.

ROMAN: You’re lying, Deceit. I know you’re lying. But why? I thought you were with us now…

ORB DECEIT: Oh, Roman. Will you face the ugly truth for once in your life? No one is with you. Not willingly and honestly, at least.

ROMAN: That’s not true!

[As the Deceit in the orb mentions them, they appear around of Roman, pointing at him with a reproachful gesture]

ORB DECEIT: Just think about it. You left your own brother Remus behind like a piece of dirt. You bashed Virgil and treated him like trash. You insulted Logan and mocked him on a regular basis. Even Patton has been belittled by you, because you were condescending to him and treated him as if he was unimportant and lower than you. And most important, your fears and insecurities are hindering Thomas. If he can’t get anywhere, it’s because of you, because you’re not good enough for him! Shame on you, Roman! Shame on you!

[all the figures of Thomas and the Sides start repeating the same words in unison again and again]

EVERYONE: Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!

ROMAN: [holding his head] That’s not true… that’s not true…

VIRGIL: [looking at the orb in despair] What is going on? Why are these doppelgangers torturing Roman like that?

LOGAN: I think I understand. These are personifications of Roman’s fears and insecurities. The last remnants of his Dark Side self. He must defeat them in order to become a full Light Side. This is the moment of truth, guys. If he defeats, them, he’ll wake up as a Light Side. If he doesn’t… he may never wake up again.

VIRGIL: Come on, Roman. You can do this! Fight! Come back to me!

[Roman then pulls out his samurai sword]

ROMAN: [yelling] THAT’S NOT TRUE!!!

[Roman blows the sword around him and cuts the fake Sides and Deceit in half. They vanish in the thin air as he does so]

ROMAN: It’s true I have insecurities but I’m Prince Roman of Sandersia, co-owner of Thomas Sanders’ creativity! And I will never let these insecurities overcome me again! Not while I still have the love and support of all my friends!

[As he says these words, Roman’s body in the room starts glowing in gray. Soon, the gray glow turns into a bright white aura, which then disappears]

LOGAN: Roman has done it. He’s a Light Side again.

[a white light appears in front of Roman, a few meters away from him]

ROMAN: What’s that light? I… I can see my friends in there… Are… are they looking at an orb? That must have been Remus’ doing. Do they know everything I went through? Guys, wait for me! I’m coming!

[Roman runs to the light. When he enters into it, the light fills the whole orb, which then pops and disappears like a soap bubble]

REMUS: Well, there goes another one of my orbs. Pity, I would have loved to check how it tasted. I love to put all kinds of balls in my mouth…

HONESTY: That’s what he said…

DECEIT: [disgusted] I… I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that…

[Roman starts waking up. Virgil approaches him excitedly]

VIRGIL: Roman, are you okay?

ROMAN: [still a little drowsy] I… I think so…

THOMAS: Can you stand up?

ROMAN: Yes… I’m just a little dizzy, so, Virgil, please, don’t let go off me.

VIRGIL: Never. If you fall, I’ll fall with you.

ROMAN: Thanks, but I prefer if we both stand up and you save me the bump, if you don’t mind.

VIRGIL: [laughs] Don’t worry, I got you.

[Virgil helps Roman rise up]

THOMAS: We’ve seen everything you’ve been going through in that nightmare, Roman.

ROMAN: I thought so… It was so weird. Well, weird is a kind word…

THOMAS: I… I apologize, Roman. This has been my fault. I should have listened to Logan and rest before trying to do it. I collapsed in the middle of the process out of exhaustion and that caused all this mess.

ROMAN: Don’t worry, Thomas. This was all my fault, anyway. I was the one who pushed you into doing it before you were ready, and I got served my just desert.

PATTON: Thank God everything’s ended well.

ROMAN: Has it, though? What about me? Am I still a…?

VIRGIL: No, Roman, that went out well. You are a Light Side again.

ROMAN: [his faces lightens up] Really? Yes!

[Roman hugs Virgil and tries to kiss him out of excitement and joy, but their noses collide and they hurt themselves]

VIRGIL: [covering his nose, with a smile mixed with a face of pain] Ow! My nose!

ROMAN: I’m sorry. I’m just so happy! Thank you, Thomas! How can I repay you?

THOMAS: Just by being yourself, Roman, and never succumbing again to your fears and insecurities. It’s normal to feel iffy from time to time, but if you ever feel like that again, I don’t want you to isolate yourself or let your negative feelings overwhelm you. We’re your friends. We’re here to help you and support you, and together we’ll leave these stormy clouds behind. No offense, Virge.

VIRGIL: It’s okay, Thomas. I got the metaphor.

ROMAN: Thank you, so much, Thomas. I’m so happy to have you back, guys. I’m never moving away from you, ever again.

[Remus shows a bittersweet smile but says nothing. Deceit is the only one who notices that smile, but also refrains from speaking]

THOMAS: Well, I think we should all get back to the living room right now.

ROMAN: Yes, I need some fresh air from the outside world too. Let’s go.

[All the Sides and Thomas sink down, then they all rise up in the living room, except Remus who pops up]

THOMAS: Well, here we are again. How are you feeling, Roman?

ROMAN: Better than ever. And I’m ready for action whenever you’re ready, Thomas.

THOMAS: I’m glad to hear that, but I’ve had enough action for a week. All I need now is to rest and do nothing related to work, at least for the holidays.

ROMAN: Okay, Thomas. Rest is also good. It gives me time to mature the millions of ideas dancing in my head right now.

THOMAS: I’m sure they will be great, Roman. And if any of them is not so great, don’t worry. We’ll be able to make it better together. And if that doesn’t work, don’t feel bad. You make so many wonderful things that one misstep every now and again doesn’t matter at all and doesn’t make you any less great as a creator.

ROMAN: [smiles, emotional] I know, Thomas. Thank you again. [sinks down] See ya, guys.

VIRGIL: I’m going to my room now, I have to pack my things to go back into Roman’s room. Now that the problem is solved and it is again safe to return, it’s time we start living together again, don’t you think? [sinks down] See ya.

REMUS: Of course he wants to move back with Roman as soon as he can. I don’t know if I could have coped with that like him, spending two full months without… [sinks down before ending the phrase]

PATTON: Without what?

DECEIT: [sinking down, groaning frustrated but smiling at the same time] Seriously, Patton, how is it that you among all Sides are the only father of the team?

PATTON: [sinking down, shrugging confused] He keeps asking me that, and I still don’t know what he’s talking about…

HONESTY: I’d be willing to explain him, but I don’t know if he’d get over the fact that storks have nothing to do with parenthood. [sinks down] He finds that story so cute, I’m afraid to break his heart…

LOGAN: Well, I hope what happened today makes you listen to me more often, Thomas.

THOMAS: What do you mean? I listen to you all the… most of the time, Logan.

LOGAN: I’m glad that you corrected yourself mid-sentence, Thomas. The “Falsehood” I would have yelled at you would have resonated in your ears for a long time. [sinking down] Literally.

THOMAS: Yeah, that’s why I corrected myself… [to the camera] Feeling insecure is something everybody goes through from time to time. It’s not easy to get out of that feeling and a lot of people never gets out of it completely. But if we understand that everyone, myself included, are going through this and that it’s perfectly normal to feel like this, especially in stressful or new situations, we can take the steps to overcome our fears and face them with courage and hope. Getting surrounded by the people we love will also be a great help to become victorious over our fears and grow and mature as stronger and better people. Let’s grow together, shall we? Until next time, take it easy, guys, gals and non binary pals. Peace out!

[end card]

[Remus is in his room. Deceit rises up]

REMUS: Deceit? What are you doing here, snake?

DECEIT: I just wanted to talk to you, Remus.

REMUS: And what would you have to say to me, Dee?

DECEIT: I couldn’t help but notice that you kept something to yourself earlier in Roman’s room.

REMUS: And what does that have to do with you?

DECEIT: Well, you always say whatever is in your mind without any filter, so I was wondering what could make you, the brutal honesty personified, keep something that bothers you to yourself.

REMUS: I always say whatever I want whenever it pleases me. And it didn’t please me to say that in that exact moment, that’s all.

DECEIT: I know you’re lying, Remus. I can catch a liar from miles away. And I think I know the exact cause of your concern.

REMUS: Oh, really? And what do you think it is, you pythoness?

DECEIT: Roman got closer to you when he was a Dark Side, and now that he’s turned back into a Light Side and back with his former friends, you fear you’re gonna lose him again because he’s not gonna need you anymore, am I right?

[Remus looks at Deceit without saying a word]

REMUS: Gee, have you never thought on becoming a fortune teller?

DECEIT: Roman is your brother. I don’t think he’s gonna turn his back on you.

REMUS: What would you know? He was my brother when he left me trapped in that island. What do you know about abandonment and resentment over someone you love and whom you would give your life for?

DECEIT: [smirks] Everything, Remus. I know everything. I was also only a teen when Virgil, the love of my life, left me behind, trapped in the Dark Realm to pursue a new life in the Light Realm. That’s why I told you that you reminded me of myself not so long ago.

[Remus looks at Deceit, then he lets go a smirk]

REMUS: I guess we are the forsaken Sides, then. We should form a club for brokenhearted aspects.

DECEIT: Yeah, I guess so. And when I returned, I also returned full of anger and thirsty of revenge. But as I got engaged with the group, I realized I had nothing to take my revenge for, and furthermore, that the people that were in that group were the most wonderful group of people I’d ever met… And I’ll deny to have ever said that.

REMUS: Yeah, all is sweet lollipops, hard candies and popsicles… don’t mind me, I love sweet things to suck… Everything’s sweet until it gets spoiled, and then it turns bitter and poisonous.

DECEIT: I don’t think you have anything to worry about in regards of Roman. Despite it all, he’s a noble gentleman and his word is a word of honor. Once he’s decided to give someone his love and support, he’s gonna love and support them till his final breath unless they give him a reason not to. And it hurts me to say that, as that means that he will never leave Virgil for the rest of his life, but that’s the way it is.

REMUS: Could be, could be not. I only know that I have well-founded reasons to distrust him.

DECEIT: You’re wrong and you’ll see it in time.

REMUS: You’re right, I’ll see it in time.

DECEIT: Okay, Remus, I just wanted to tell you that, to make you feel better. Trust Roman. He’s your brother and he truly loves you. See ya soon. [sinks down]

REMUS: Bye, Deceit…

[Remus stares at nothing with a sad face, his eyes fill with tears]

REMUS: I’d really wish to believe you, but… well, you’re the embodiment of lies and I’m… I’m scared. Roman left me behind once. Why wouldn’t he leave me again now that he’s got what he wanted and I’m not of use for him anymore? [a tear falls down his cheek and gets stuck in his mustache] If I lose Roman again… I don’t want to lose my brother again…

[Remus sits down on the couch and starts silently crying]

Mayhem Timeline

Aka the "May Egopocalypse", throughout that month in 2018, we were dealt with a massive wave of cryptic videos/ hints involving all of the JSE canon egos and characters. The events fell in a coherent storyline in several separate videos that were connected together.

This is a chronicle of what happened in that time.

Buckle up once again, this is the longest post yet with a LOT of information.

April 18th

Here on Tumblr, Jack himself posts this photo of a postcard;

But /zoom look closely, the “WIS” is splattered with blood and has a slight green glitchiness outline to it.

We find out the location is a real-life place in Germany, and how Jack recently said Anti was probably “off drinking bloody mary’s somewhere” may be related.

Many speculate this is related to the missing (and German) Dr. Schneeplestein, who people joked and theorized how he was actually on a “vacation” rather than being subject to a more unfortunate fate.

Jack later posts the same photo twice more separately, with more blood drops appearing each time.

He then completely deletes the post, as if the postcard never existed.

May 3rd, the “official” start of all this madness.

We first notice that some past video titles starring a single character have been changed to its’ own “Power Hour” episode with their name, only to discover they all have been changed.

Later, on Jack’s Instagram, we get this photo with the caption “Vacation’s over!”;

This was exactly on the 9 month anniversary of the infamous “Kill Jacksepticeye” (the very last time we saw the Doc in a video), and 2 weeks after the “Wish You Were Here!” postcard. Because of this, some of us are slightly suspicious.

May 4th

“Dr. Jacksepticeye” returns yet again in this video, still claiming to be a real doctor, and performing a couple in-game surgeries.

However, at the end Dr. Schneeplestein himself does come back.

Schneep (interrupting): Vhat are you doing?!

Jack: What? Who are you?

Schneep: I am ze good doctor! And zhat is my chair!

Jack reblogs a video of Schneep’s return itself, and though we are excited, we’re also slightly worried by a couple of things that also happened- and don’t seem like a coincidence. One of the biggest talked about points is “Jack” not recognizing someone who is supposedly one of his good and dearest friends.

Later, Jack reblogs a gif set of all the canon egos, calling it “The Jacksepticeye Universe”.

May 5th

Jack uploads WATCH IF YOU DARE | Welcome To The Game 2 and mentions Jackieboy Man (who was in the series of the 1st game) by name.

Later, he uploads WATCH THIS WITH THE LIGHTS OFF | Stories Untold - Chapter 1,

and the intro is slightly different than any other, with the following dialogue;

“You are entering a realm that is unusual. A realm full of tales that were meant to be forgotten. Tales designed to excite man’s curiosity, as well as ignite his deepest fears. You are entering the realm of Stories Untold.”

Jack even reblogs someone praising it, calling it his “new TV show”. The game is actually a series of 4 interactive, suspenseful, tales that the player must go through. Jack completes the first one without issue… Until the outro.

Jack hears outside bangs and thuds, even lifting his headset and asking us “did you hear that? Sounded like somebody”… and becomes visibly shaken. Behind him, his door suddenly opens.

There is a flash, and the scene changes to the gameplay’s main screen, with Jack seemingly trapped in the TV for a quick couple seconds.

Panic ensues and theories run wild. It’s a crazy time.

At the end of it all, a TON has happened in just 48 hours.

Meanwhile, in response that Jack keeps getting interrupted during his recordings, Jack asks “WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE?!”

May 6th

Jack uploads Barry Has A Secret, whose thumbnail alone has many red flags.

Basically, it’s a game of a man trying to hide pieces of his dead wife from the police in his home.

Once again, we get another weird outro, where it starts off with Jack saying he didn’t have any secrets to hide, but the screen fades to black with him saying “no, no- where you going?”

The camera switches to a first person, with us finding a tiny hand in a cupboard.

And then turning to the voice of “Hey what are you doing? Hey…”

“You weren’t supposed to find that.”

More inevitable panic and chaos and theories resume.

Also, Jack responds to a positive comment regarding the new material.

Later the 2nd episode, THEY ARE LISTENING | Stories Untold - Chapter 2 is posted, and we get another strange intro similar to the first;

“You enter a door on your left. Then you realize you went through the wrong way so you enter the door on your right. This door leads to a place unknown to you before. You have once again entered into the realm of Stories Untold”.

This episode has the character performing an experiment, before seemingly becoming the subject of an experiment himself. Small robotic spheres help the player regain memories, but soon takes over the player’s very actions.

The ending involves Jack begin his usual outro, when a bright flashing light similar to the sphere’s 1st in-game appearance takes over the screen and webcam,

before abruptly ending on this screen;

Upon further looking, we find out that the parts of the outro were actually in reverse, and each of the spheres may represent something, or even someone.

Also during a livestream later, Jack acts like he doesn’t know who Schneeple is.

May 7th

Jack’s uploads Yet Another Exhausted Day! that has a strange description, and when he answers a supposed knock on the door, no one’s there,

The 3rd episode (THEY’RE HERE! | Stories Untold - Chapter 3 ) is posted. The dialogue continues;

“You take a picture of a man. When you check the film you realize the man was not in the picture. It reminds you of when your father left the picture years ago. Now you are crying, and inside your tears are Stories Untold.“

The player is at a station with a two-way radio, and strange happenings occurring with the communications/ outside. As Jack is giving his final thoughts near the end, he is suddenly cut off by a black screen, and we hear;

“Jack. Jack! This is Chase. You need to wake up.”

We get another screen we saw earlier from the game, and also a morse code (also part of this episode’s gameplay) which was later translated to “WHERE AM I”.

This is by far some of the most worrying news we’ve gotten so far. Within that video’s comments, Jack “loves” this;

Later on, Jack talks more on the recent new outros and intros in a livestream.

And even later later…. We get this as an Instagram story.

There is that weird red/ purple light, he is wearing Chase’s shirt, and Marvin’s mask is on the wall in the background.

May 8th

Jack plays THE WORST DATE I’VE EVER HAD | Check Please, a simple game full of suspicious quotes and scenes.

Finally, the fourth and final episode is uploaded; IT WAS ALL CONNECTED! | Stories Untold - Chapter 4. Just the thumbnail itself shows a familiar white filter.

The intro is as follows;

“You see a man in front of you. This man looks strange, not like any man you’ve seen before. Suddenly, you realize you were looking in a mirror.”

This episode reveals how everything (just as the title suggests) was one storyline, with the main character waking up from a 2-week coma due to a car accident he caused, and coming to grips of his own guilt, the circumstances leading up to it, and now the situation/ aftermath. His memories were merged with some fantasy from the previous episodes.

There is no normal outro. After Jack finishes his thoughts on the game, we are cut to someone apparently having a nightmare, with whispers in the background.

Before suddenly waking up

and saying directly to us “I remember what he did to me”.

We discuss who this person was, what they were remembering, and draw comparisons to similar sounding tags from DDLC and glitches from Detention.

Later, when Jack is livestreaming on Twitch, people notice Marvin’s mask still in the background on the whiteboard. When they talk about it, Jack takes a “pee break”, and when he returns, the mask is gone.

May 9th

Try To Fall Asleep! is uploaded. The prominent red and blue thumbnail returns, along with a cryptic description and intro.

“Go ahead. Try to fall asleep. See if you can do it. Your eyes may be heavy. You may be thinking to yourself, “man, I’m tired. I just wanna take a snooze, I just want to close my eyes and drift off.” But that’s when it happens. When you drift off, that’s when the fun begins.”

It starts off as a FNAF style type of game, but when he successfully falls asleep, the character relives a memory where he is at a lab with the power shut off. Jack needs to find the fuses, and every time he does, there is a scene change of his character needing to “FLEE” from a monster.

In almost every transition (except the first photo below, which happened in the intro), we are shocked to find glimpses of Marvin/ his mask and JJ within the static, along with the message “Jack you have to” FLEE.

As the video progresses, the lights become more distinctly saturated in Jack’s webcam.

Overall, weird suspicions everywhere.

In the 2nd video (AM I COLOUR BLIND? | Colourblind Test) of that day, Marvin’s mask is seen in the background on Jack’s whiteboard.

And Robin later replies with a “fucking circles” reference.

May 11th

Jack uploads TIE - A Game About Depression,

which is exactly as the title suggests the game is. Near the end of the video, ‘Jack’ changes his shirt to Chase Brody’s,

and has many, many interesting things to say.

“Yeah so it’s been kinda rough lately, I mean I still get to go see my kids in the weekend and everything. It’s just been hard you know, one of my best friends is in a coma, for a while and like, I go see him every now and then and just chat to him and everything. But I dunno if he hears me.”

“Day in, day out, I do the same things. Nothing ever changes. I just want things to go back to the way they were. I want to go back to when I was happy.”

The video ends with the man drinking and looking at a picture,

with the last scene setting down his hat- revealing it to indeed be Chase himself.

Needless to say, we are shocked by this canon turn of events. Also, we notice that the video title where Schneeple returned has changed.

May 14th

….. Dark Silence is uploaded.

The horror game involves the player exploring/ escaping from shadows and unseen dangers in some abandoned buildings with only a lighter for guidance.

Jack’s real room lights flicker and suddenly go out, revealing the all too familiar red and pink lights, and staying that way throughout the rest of the game.

After the game concludes, we get another extra live action ending. ‘Jack’ is in a dark house with only a lighter, and hears distant screams and whispers similar to the gameplay of Dark Silence.

Suddenly he’s bathed in a red light, and sees a figure in a doorway. He asks “who’s there?”.

The figure turns his head, glitching and revealing all too familiar gauges. He smiles as his right eye shines in a brilliant green glow.

‘Jack’ sounds and looks beyond desperate as he shouts “Where are they?! What do you want from me?!”

Anti says nothing, but walks down the hall (glitching all the way) right into the camera, and the video ends.

Instant and utter chaos follows soon enough, as one would expect.

Later, Jack changes his Twitter header with the green-eyed Anti.

And even the original thumbnail (temporary) changes as well;

May 16th

EXPLORING AN ABANDONED HOSPITAL | Exiles is uploaded, once again it’s exactly as the title suggests, and again has the red and blue thumbnail trait.

However the intro begins with a flickering webcam, with ‘Jack’ breathing heavily and looking frightened. He doesn’t seem to even know what the game he’s about to play is about.

The game goes over fine. Until the outro. As Jack is wrapping up his final thoughts, he is literally frozen mid-sentence, as tears of blood fall from his eyes and whispers of “it’s your fault” are heard.

Even the outro animation is filled with red, and a low, slow sound later to be revealed an evacuation alarm, and even later the same sound from Kill JSE.

Robin later posts how happy he was with his editing of those tears.

May 22nd

I AM SO CREEPED OUT BY THIS! | First Winter is uploaded. Once again, the red and blue colors in the thumbnail is evident. The game involves being trapped on a nuclear sub and trying to both solve a mystery and avoid nuclear war.

The blood tears return (along with a post Jack himself liked talking about it),

along with glitches with the quote “I’ve never been happier to be home”.

and people notice several strange whispers and sounds that are allegedly NOT a part of the game itself.

Finally, the date this video was uploaded may have not been a coincidence.

Later on the same day, Jack himself posts this meme here on Tumblr… Ha ha, Jack.

May 25th

Robin confirms it was Chase in the corridor scene in Dark Silence (also saying it was his favorite scene to edit), and later Jack likes this post talking about that very scene.

With the confirmation/ it being canon that was Chase at the end of Dark Silence, this worries a lot of people- all with good reason.

And… As of now in mid-July 2018, that’s it.

Jack went on tour just a few days later in late May, after the tour he returned to normal videos, and has taken a break while currently being in LA for about 2 months. While he has said before about wanting to continue this (and also not being sure how to end/ conclude this), what we experienced during that May month and trying to figure it all out was truly fun and amazing.

Whenever this picks up again (if it ever does, as there is no hurry, and should be done only when they want and are able to do it), this is what we have- for now.

THE.

END.
