Loki headcanons!
I always think of Asgard having not too many culinary options for some reason, so he likes the variety on Earth and other planets
he keeps procrastinating figuring out how to show his Jotun appearance. like, he gets that's an important thing he should probably figure out in case he needs Jotun skills, but he just keeps procrastinating it because he still doesn't want to admit that he is Jotun for real and he is scared to see what he looks like as a Jotun
he can't fall asleep in many positions. only curled up on his side or on his stomach (depending on mood). preferably on a bed, but can be done on the floor or a couch/table or something. if he falls asleep in any other position (flat on his back, sitting up, etc), it means he's extremely sleep deprived and just passed out from exhaustion
as a child he had a nightlight that looked suspiciously like the Tesseract
when he lost the bet to Thor, he was only supposed to flirt with a pretty lady because Thor knows he never went on dates. and Loki came up with the rest of the DB Cooper stuff on his own. he sandwiched the flirting with having fun so that it would be bearable. Thor was cool with it as long as Loki did flirt. Thor had Heimdall watching to make sure Loki actually did flirt with someone (the flight attendant)
Loki's favorite Disney movies would be Encanto and Coco because they both have family drama that resolves well (unlike what happened with him)
he has taken university classes on Norse mythology and purposely did bad because the professors were all wrong
he likes classical music, particularly Bach, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky.
he has a thing for hot chocolate. chocolate isn't common on Asgard, so he already is a chocolate fan. but putting it in hot water? makes it so good.
at some point someone made a joke about him looking like Thomas Sharpe and both him and Thomas have rough sibling relationships
if he ever fell in love with someone who wasn't Asgardian, he would 100% elope. Odin isn't going to approve of the marriage, but Loki could not care in the slightest. Coulson officiates the wedding
Loki would bring his non-Asgardian lover something from Asgard they can carry around (jewelry or something along those lines probably) for them to have something to remind them of him when he has to be on Asgard. and he would bring something similar from their planet with him too
he loves kitties
he sleeps with a lot of blankets or a weighted blanket. the weight helps him feel safer when he sleeps
when he came to Earth he tried sleeping in sweatpants and a T-shirt because that's what humans do a lot. now he can't go back to wearing what Asgardians had. silk is nice and all, but fleece just feels so much more cozy and welcoming
he learns how to sew just to sew pockets into one of his friend's dresses because how dare women never have pockets!
someone introduces him to ATLA, beginning the ATLA obsession and love for Zuko
he buys a bunch of A&W root beer and tells the W3 that it's popular Midgardian beer. and somehow since they think they're drinking alcohol, they have a psychosomatic reaction or something and start acting drunk, which is hilarious
he finds that lying down on the floor alone can solve lots of problems (like thinking everyone hates him. no, he just needed some rest)
he starts a black market trade in Asgard for Midgardian candy because ours is better (more sugary, rather)

I’m really intrigued by Rayla’s moonshadow assassin peers. I especially am interested in Andromeda because I think she is the only other girl in the group? Do you have any headcanons in how these teen/young adult assassins interacted? Do you think Rayla isolated herself from them because she was always iffy about taking a life? Also TDP finally colored their map and I know you live maps, find any new cool stuff? I especially love how there’s a frozen sea north and a spinning sea south, imagine the powerful Magic’s that channeled to make them.
Okay, so I jumped straight to the map, did 80% of it, and wandered away for a few weeks. I apologize, anon. Let’s get this going again:
I’ve got a few headcanons on the Moonshadow assassins! It seems likely that they hang out mostly with each other, when they hang out, to reinforce their teambuilding and to give them some socialization, since assassins tend to keep others at arm’s length. So I kinda figure they tend to roam as a pack on their evenings out in the village, if they’re not married to a non-assassin like Runaan is.
I think that could be part of the reason that Rayla might not have hung out with the others as much, too: Runaan wanted to be either training or at home with Ethari, so Rayla probably spent a lot of time doing those things just because he did them. And when Runaan was doing more serious training or missions, that’s when Rayla had her free time to run around the forest and make adoraburr friends.
Runaan could’ve probably insisted that she do something more assassiny with her free time. Shadow an assassin, do more studying, practice certain prescribed skills on her own. But he didn’t. He let her play. Soft assassin is soft!
Listen, anon, I have a fun headcanon for you about Andromeda--and by fun, I mean it’s really angsty half a second after you start thinking about it. Ready?
What if: Andromeda is Runaan’s half-sister. If they’re both Lujanne’s children by different assassin dads who kept dying in battle, but a Moon mage needs an assassin leader partner to defend Xadia with, and Lujanne knew her son Runaan wasn’t old enough to lead yet, so she burned through three or more husbands protecting him until Runaan was well trained enough to lead the assassins himself and had fallen in love with a mage who adored him and would be his partner in her place.
Andromeda looks a fair bit like Lujanne, too:
Along with Runaan, they all have long hair, side tails bound in silver cuffs, and some form of braids. Andromeda’s hair is sectioned in front similarly to Runaan’s. Her accent sounds more British than Scottish, though she only has the one line: My eyes for truth. And Lujanne and Andromeda are the only two Moonshadow elves we’ve met who have medium blue horns, while Runaan’s are dark blue. Almost everyone else’s horns have purple or pink as their base color.
But then, see, Andromeda went on Runaan’s mission, and she died. Her spirit was the most aggressive in TTM, usually closest to Rayla with her sword out, as if she hated Rayla the most. If she had a vested family interest in Runaan’s mission succeeding, and then it went pear-shaped because of Rayla, that would make sense.
No matter if she’s related to Runaan or not, she’s wearing horn cuffs, so she was in a dedicated relationship of some kind, and that’s so sad. Someone’s missing her the way Ethari’s missing Runaan. :’((((
Anyway, it’s just a headcanon, but since you asked, there ya go.
Okay, on to my thoughts on the map, of which I have a normal and healthy amount:
The Map Border:
Everyone doodles in the borders. I love to see what they put there.
Starting in the upper left and going counter-clockwise, the five human crowns are cool
Cornucopia swirls center left look like an homage to Cabbage Man from ATLA
Bait is staring at Evenere. his home? Or maybe he just wants to eat the dragonfly on its logo
Human defender has a beard. Hairagorn. He's very heavily armored but has no helmet. Long hair is braided to rest on front of shoulder, like the blond elf in the painting at the Moon Nexus. Old timey hairstyle?
He’s defending Katolis Castle specifically. I wonder if the little white building is kinda random or if it’s supposed to represent the Banther Lodge. Nah, I have a better guess: that’s where Viren grew up
The crack in the map looks meta. It's been repaired somewhat. Makes me wonder if it's an in-world map, whose, who ripped it, and who fixed it. Sir Phineas Kurst seems like the kind of guy to almost shred his really cool map
The star behind Zym's egg has seven points
The two ships on the southern waters are western and eastern respectively. Tidebound elves from Singapore? Jack Sparrow would be proud
There is land just south of the Dragontail, wonder what’s there?
The leaves around the human figure are small and numerous while the Moonshadow elf has fewer but bigger leaves
The elf is standing in the way of one of the six leaves growing out of the rune rose and that leaf's curly tip seems to have been replaced with a curl of the elf's very long hair
The human pose is more offense and the elf pose is more defense. But the elf has two swords, and one has some wicked hooks in it.
Elf has 4 fingers instead of 3 so whether it’s in-universe or meta, they were drawn by a human :DDD
The elf's braid winds around their horn and I think that's clever
High collar shirt under protective layer, bracers and elbow gloves, bare biceps, complex shoulder getup, ornate hair that's butt long and partly braided, two long slightly curving swords... horn cuffs too. This is a Moonshadow assassin in the same gear Runaan's got, poised to defend the Xadian half of the map as the human is poised to defend his side
The rune rose isn't a compass. It has a two sided pointer and six primal runes. Just decorative I guess. ;)
More lettuces on right center.
Maybe a portaling caterpillar on the center knot? Little bug pal, I see you
“The Five Human Kingdoms” lettered in red, “Xadia” in blue. Giving me Stratego flashbacks. Even the flowers on their banners are color coded
Banners in the corners are similar but Xadia has more fluttery tips
Thunder drawn all attacky top center, does he have anything to do with the Frozen Sea being frozen?
Compass rose under Thunder’s wing
Dick island near the compass. Well, Duren is the breadbasket of the human lands. A most excellent cartography joke! 10/10 would chortle wholesomely again
The Human Kingdoms:
Neolandia
Capital Eboreus seems to be a lake city below a mountain and I'm here for all the Lake Town refs.
It's also the eye of the elephant shape
Not a lot of trees, mostly grasses or desert. Only borders Duren across a couple rivers/estuaries/sea channels
Heart shaped island next to elephant trunk
Land generally broken into several sections by sea/rivers
If it’s rivers, they seem to generate from the capital’s lake and flow in several directions. And they say there’s no magic left in the western lands! ;)
But if there was exactly one source of freshwater in a desert land, it makes sense that you’d find a way, magical or mechanical, to spread that lifegiving water in as many directions as possible so your people can thrive so kudos to Neolandia’s ancestors/Tidebound elves/whoever managed that, it’s brilliant
I can and will make up explanations for anything on a map. I adore worldbuilding
Del Bar
Two named locations. Since Del Bar’s national symbol is a serpent, I guess Serpentongue is the capital.
Hinterpeak is a sweet name. Looks like Helm's Deep with that retaining wall. What’s it for? Are there dwarves in this land? Is it an Earthblood stronghold? Maybe it’s like the Mines of Moria, and the Earthbloods were chased out and/or killed inside and now it’s full of nasty orcses but someone left a MacGuffin down there so *nudges hero* Off you pop.
Nice forests around the southern mountain range but northern DB is more arid or grassy lands like Neolandia.
Considering that crops grow well in Duren, which is farther north, I assume there is a massive meteorological gyre over the human lands, with a southern wind blowing down over the western realms and keeping them icy until the mountains of Hinterpeak block and divert them, protecting Evenere. The winds don't blow eastward without warming right up-- and causing thunderstorms in Katolis how about that-- because there is a warmer side to the gyre over Katolis and Duren, blowing tropical warmth and moisture north and providing rain for trees and crops alike. Most years, anyway.
How does the weather fail in Duren for seven years in a row, anyway? That seems like a Thunder issue. Unless it’s a Sunforge issue, which I’ll get to below.
Ahem.
Borders Neolandia, Duren, and Katolis across rivers, but most border is coastline.
Serpentongue probably got its name from the two river heads around it
Cluster of dead little cracks spawns a single river. Looks like someone cracked the tub and it drained away. I wonder how much of this landscape has been affected by the Mage Wars. Big watery basins have flooded and other spots seem dead. The lands may or may not actually touch depending on how deep some of these waterways are
Evenere
Looks like someone punched holes in the land with a giant pencil to make it a separate island. Broken outline with scattered islands
That Pawprint Isles has only four toes
Moon-shaped island is very crescenty indeed
Are these isles home to refugees or outcasts from Xadia? Listen, I want pirates and that sea looks pretty Caribbean to me
No capital city, hmmm what's that about? Is it underground, does it move? Maybe Fareeda’s capital is on the back of a world turtle and she’s constantly on tour around the island?
That arm of land ending in a peace sign, please can we get surfers
The hills emanating from that claw shaped headland look like something is sleeping under the island, hello yes I am here for giant immortal creatures please
Katolis
its capital is also called Katolis, the only human realm to use the same name twice
Weeping Bay could be a ref to the tears the humans shed after they reached the west. Or the Moonshadow elves as they left their forest for the east. Or both. Both, in this case, is bad but balanced
Boomerang island next to the Dragontail
The river the Dragaang rode on was going uphill
The watery slash in the land between Katolis and Del Bar is awfully straight. So is the one between Del Bar and Neolandia. I call magical warfare.
Katolis has a bunch of mountains in the east, part of an old natural border before the lava one appeared
Mt Kalik is probably volcanic. It's a standalone mountain and it's really tall. Rex Ignius maybe? Oh, probably not, I think I see him peeking on the other side of the map
The trees of Duren and Katolis are different then the western lands. Softer green, deciduous. And the land itself is yellower, warmer in tone
Forests centered on Mt Kalik
The Moon Nexus looks like an eye on a dragon head near the Dragontail, and Evenere looks like a severed wing (Yes I am still wondering where Luna Tenebris went, why do you ask)
Weeping Bay looks like the most natural body of water in the western lands
Three red little trees scattered around the Katolis map. Fruit trees? How very Moonshadow.
Duren
The only land border among all the human kingdoms is between Duren and Katolis. Maybe it used to be further south along the river?
Capital is Berylgarten, set on a lake. Beryl is a stone that’s usually green, blue, or yellow in color, very gardeny
Second smallest realm but the breadbasket of the human lands. Has several little forests and great tilled fields
Being a farmer in Duren is probably as awesome as being an assassin in the Moonshadow Forest; you do what you do for all your friendly kingdoms
Northernmost land is cold and craggy, named Skall's Hook along the sea
Third ship in the Frozen Sea is icebound and crushed. Looks western, indicating no possible passage
Lots of colored trees and shrubs as if fruitbearing, I keep comparing Duren to the Yakima Valley in Washington State
Where the lava reaches the Frozen Sea, it melts the ice next to Duren's mountains
Northern Xadia:
Lux Aurea
Most of the center lands of this map has warm tones for its ground. Maybe that’s because of the long reach of the warmth and light of Lux Aurea’s Sun Nexus, and only the lands that are just too far from it are truly cold and icy. It would explain why Duren is a breadbasket realm so far north--it’s just across the border from Lux Aurea.
If there’s anything to that, then I suddenly worry for the fate of all the human lands now that the Sunforge has gone dark. It’s early summer now in Xadia, and crops in Duren will be ripening soon... Unless the sun’s magic was helping them grow. This coming winter could be rough. Next winter, people will die. Unless they can purify the Sunforge again.
Also, I have to wonder if Duren’s seven years of famine had anything to do with Sunforge shenanigans. They’d have happened at Khessa’s command, and we know she despises humans. If she was responsible for all the struggles that humans had to go through without enough food for seven years, and then their desperate attempt to fix the problem by invading Xadia for a Magma Titan’s heart which extended and exacerbated the war, I can see why Aaravos might feel Queen Khessa deserved to die
The city’s shaped kinda like an Egyptian pectoral necklace on this map, and that’s super pretty and not at all ominous
Also that’s a lot of gold for a whole city and I wonder how they got it all
The Shiverglades and the Shards
These areas are north of Lux Aurea and seem cold but not very icy, even though the Frozen Sea is right there. More thoughtful glances at the Sunforge over this one. Is it warming the land, or not warming the sea? Both?
Shiverglades is a play on Everglades, so this is a cold swamp, which sounds super fun I’m sure. Permafrost, tundra maybe?
The Shards seem to be rock islands with ice mountains. Glaciers are cool.
I wonder if something broke those islands off on purpose. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy worldbuilding? Yeah, well, I like world-wrecking, too.
Storm Spire
Has a good view on everything that happens for miles, including Lux Aurea, the Midnight Desert, the Shiverglades, the Black Tundra, the Uncharted Forest, and Drakewood.
Defensible position, no other tall mountains nearby
Also able to alert others to danger, especially since Avizandum could teleport like lightning
The Midnight Desert
It’s pretty big! And it looks like it’s littered with ruins of columns and dead palm trees. Like something else used to be in that great space and then something Very Bad happened to it. Maybe there was one great city where all the elves could mix together, and then it got utterly obliterated and the elves all fled to their respective safe places around Xadia. A city of black stone, back when Aaravos wore a crown? Now pulverized to dust and surrounded by not one, not two, but three primal nexuses? Hmmm...
All the wisps could be heat from the sand, or spooky spirit hints, or just an ominous sign of danger from the snakes below, but the overall effect is that the land is unhealthy if not cursed
The oasis is marked, and it must contain a spring since it runs a river out to join the river that passes through the Moonshadow Forest
Also the actual oasis kinda resembles a blue lizard which is adorable and probably also terrifying
Moonshadow Forest
The Silvergrove is the only village marked in the forest, so in keeping with the other lands and general map legend rules, it’s likely the capital/central village for the Moonshadow elves
The village is marked by four round-roofed homes between two tall leafy trees that shelter and hide them. It’s a hybrid balance between the blocky manmade castles of the human lands and the actual forest around them, showing a blending with nature that even the Sunfire city of Lux Aurea did not embrace, with all its golden buildings
It’s a good-sized forest, and it kinda stretches thin to the east but there it tentatively connects to the Drakewood Forest
Moonstone Path to the west just chilling in the lava like a blank alignment chart. Moonstone Path is Chaotic Hot.
Southern Xadia:
Ruins of Elarion
Elarion is a city, and it’s been lost to the humans for a thousand years
The building outlines are squared-off towers like the more modern castles in the west, suggesting that humans in Xadia built for strength and defense as soon as they could. They felt vulnerable and created protections in their architecture. The three elven cities we see also play to their strengths, but those strengths include magic. Elarion’s humans had to find a different strength, and they went with craftsmanship and ingenuity
It seems to be the only human city from before the border was drawn
“Ruins” doesn’t necessarily mean no one lives there at all, but it’s been emptied of humans and no one else has maintained it since
It had a great position on a vast lake, with sheltering hills and easy sea access
Sea of the Castout
This inland sea has five inlets and outlets. It’s hard to be sure which is which with some of them, with the way the water is drawn on this map. But I’m kinda liking the idea that all the water swirlies are places where Tidebound magic has been placed over the millennia, so the water can do whatever it needs to do depending on circumstances. That goes for the human lands, too. Katolis backward river, you’re off the hook.
With a name like "Castout,” I wonder if it was some kind of universal toilet to flush away things you didn’t want--including humans--who might wash up near Elarion and start to build there. Yeesh.
The rivers that flow into this sea pass through or near the Moonshadow Forest, the Midnight Desert, the Storm Spire, Drakewood, and the Uncharted Forest. That’s a lot of drainage.
It’s pretty far from the Tidebound Archipelago, so maybe its name is referencing Tidebound elves who have left their home colony
Was this always a sea, or did something that Xadia wanted to forget get flooded and hidden in the depths?
The land around it seems open and hospitable. It could be a good place to build/rebuild in a time of peace.
The Far Reaches
Open grassland with low hills
Two of the hills look like giant boot prints
Several colorful trees which I hope are fruit trees
Bounded by two rivers from the Sea of the Castout
Looks homey tbh, great spot to retire to get away from everything if there were a war that really shook you up
Ocean Point
There’s a Star rune here, and it could mean many things
The closest other marked location is Elarion
If this was where Aaravos lived of his own free will, I can see why he’d take a shine to the humans. They were his neighbors.
If he is imprisoned here, it’s literally the furthest point in Xadia from the other elven realms, with the Moonshadow Forest being the closest one and Umber Tor not too much further but in a totally different direction. If they were trying to isolate him physically with a portable mirror to watch over him, that’s a good spot for it
Possible location that the cube is leading Callum toward? Portal to the Star Touch home plane? Aaravos’s seaside B&B? Trap street?
Eastern Xadia:
Drakewood
Umber Tor looks to be the tallest mountain in all of Xadia, save possibly for the Storm Spire. It’s more traditionally mountainy, with a nice snowcap. Since it’s labeled, I’m guessing it’s the Earth Nexus, under which an Earth Archdragon sleeps
Also there’s a giant yellowish-brown dragon chilling next to the Tor. Yeah, he seems nice. Rex Igneous, I presume?
Or maybe not, since the neighboring forest is called Drakewood. Maybe this woods is just where a bunch of Earth dragons hang out? Ezran and Pyrrah flew off and returned with a crew of Sun dragons from somewhere, so dragons must have communities too
The mountains that edge the sea are shaped roughly like a stone dragon in flight
Drakewood seems to be the forest closest to Umber Tor, with both deciduous and evergreen trees, though there’s a huge swath of wooded land here, to the north and to the southwest. I wonder what the locals consider the border where the Drakewood becomes the Uncharted Forest and why. The way the evergreens are drawn almost looks like a border, a sort of kingswood set aside for a specific use. Rex Igneous’s best toothpicks?
Uncharted Forest
Okay this is a properly magical name, very mysterious. But uncharted by whom? People with charts? This might be a Sir Phineas Kurst name, which is outsidery, and it makes me wonder if the locals/neighbors have their own name for it, which the human explorer never learned, a la “Thunder” for Avizandum
Maybe “Uncharted Forest” just means no one ever turned those trees into charts though, old growth ftw
If no one lives here, will someone move here? If someone lives here, who are they? Earthblood elves? Moonshadow elves? Humans? This mystery, it calls to me
the trees are mostly deciduous and fill basically all of this whole section of land, up against the mountains and the rivers, so it seems very fertile land indeed
Earthblood elves could live here, but there is no city marked. Maybe because we haven’t gotten that far in the show, or maybe that’s the wrong sort of descriptor for how the Earthbloods live and organize. Maybe the whole forest is their city, like Pando, the interconnected quaking aspen clone forest
The northernmost part of this forest lies right between the Storm Spire and the Tidebound Archipelago, so it might get a regular flyover route for migration or messages
Yes, this forest is the most interesting place in Xadia to me, I desperately want to learn more about it
Black Tundra
Yeah this place isn’t ominous
Similar to the Shiverglades, but where that has shrubbery, the Black Tundra has single dead trees and creepy curving spikes. Scorched? Poisoned? De-magicked?
The water north of this area isn’t frozen, and with a lake to the south and a river and a moderate mountain range, the whole area looks like it would otherwise be decently habitable, but instead it’s cold and black
Is climate change a thing here, or will we get a nice horrible disaster instead?
Tidebound Archipelago
These islands have dotted lines around them, like they’re submerged at high tide, or maybe made of shifting sand that literally moves around like sand dunes across a desert, or perhaps they’re exactly at sea level with half their civilization in the air and half underwater or in cool bubbles, or maybe the islands actually float
Maybe the Tidebound elves even sank them on purpose for defensive purposes
The archipelago is about even latitudinally with the Storm Spire Lux Aurea, Berylgarten, and Eboreus so they probably get pretty nice weather
There’s no ice in sight here in any direction along Xadia’s east coast, so presumably the prevailing current is a warm one
do they have bridges connecting the islands? Ferries, animals who give them a lift across?
the islands have quite a bit of space on them. I wonder if there’s a big population, maybe a shifting population? Do Tidebound elves migrate up and down the coast like gray whales and return to the islands for certain holidays or social events?
This is probably the hub of the Tidebound elves’ culture, but the sea surrounds the whole land and infiltrates it with many rivers and lakes. The Spinning Sea and the Frozen Sea are pretty firm Do Not Enter signposts, but a determined Tidebound could get around either one if they wanted to
What I’m not seeing here is a city. Either it’s not been marked yet, or that’s not a thing that Tidebound elves have in their culture. If they don’t have a city, they’re possibly migratory in family groups, or maybe they stick to small villages like the Moonshadows do, but with even less central leadership

Due to the confusing titles we have ended up between friends to retitle them and this one is ‘The Gambler’ episode. The reason behind the name is because the case is taking place mainly in a high profile gambling establishment but also sets forward a very interesting concept for S5.
Everything is a gamble and you need to be aware of what you are about to throw on the table. In my belief, the cards at our leads hands are misleading and sometimes some of them do not know what the power of the cards they hold. Pity that it’s not a card game though but a through of the dice with many unknown sides to the players. No God does not play dices with the universe as Neil Gaiman explains in Good Omens but how much of what is going on can be blamed on him? Not much in my humble opinion.
As you already know after all these years BTS is not easy on the contrary they are confusing and frustrating to no end… So stay cautious and try to have fun rather than search for definite answers. These answers may come only when the season P1 drops and if I managed to spot something correctly we were fortunate.
The first episode as Ellis said will clarify why Lucifer returned to Earth but unfortunately, we can only speculate as the bts do not give us a definite answer but we know one thing, do not expect Lucifer and Chloe to meet too soon in 5x01. For the most part, it seems like Lucifer tries to avoid her and for a very good reason. As Henderson said you cannot expect to lock an alcoholic to a liquor store for 20 years and do not have a regression.
The beginning of the episode will most probably take us to… Hell. The reason for that speculation is Ellis’ birthday cake. Yes, Ellis is an executive producer and usually, by now 5x01 should have wrapped as an episode its post-production so we assume that that scene takes place in the first 5-10 minutes of the first episode of S1.
If the scene of that cake is not one of the S5 first scenes then probably is a cut scene from Chloe wondering how Lucifer is doing and the answer is well… he is delusional. According to Boris’s speculation we might get a similar scene like the beginning of S4 but this time it’s Chloe who works and the files pile up as well as the boxes around her office... Some bts suggest that might be actually happening but we simply cannot be sure.
We might also spot Gaudium on that cake but I would assume he appears like that because the delusion has not yet dropped so his real form might be a wonderful CGI. Henderson always wanted him somehow in the show so that would be the perfect time to do so…
So what has caused Lucifer wanting to get to earth? Again we do not know but it might be somehow related to the case Chloe will be working on. Of course, that relationship might not be obvious but more like the case of 5x04 where Lucifer’s connection to the case Chloe was trying to solve was purely accidental due to Eve.
Now the writers did tease that Lucifer will see a familiar face in Hell and many have speculated over that. When I heard it for the first time I thought it was Dan and I still hold that opinion mainly because Dan’s arc is more or less similar to the one of Charlotte. If a character is going to die in S5 I do expect it to be Dan even if it is for a little while, something that will lead to bigger problems later on and perhaps it will be the reason on why he needs the matching bracelet he wears with Lucifer and which appears in 5x03.
If that face is not Dan then who else could it be? Father Frank? In Hell, you may ask? Well, he felt immense guilt over accidentally killing his family and the boy’s family at that car crash so that’s where I place my next bet. In any case that familiar face is probably who shakes up things and causes Lucifer to seek something on Earth.
My calculations on how long Lucifer is in Hell give out a 6 month period which has been confirmed and my speculation was based on that due to the babies that play Charlie :D. So what has changed 6 months later on Earth?
As we know from Lauren German fools everyone into believing she is doing well and she is supported by Maze and why not Ella. In 5x01 there is a bts which shows Chloe at a LUX party with Maze but Maze is dressed in leather and Chloe in work clothes. In the time of Lucifer’s absence, it was hinted by DB that Amenadiel has taken over LUX but fear not as LUX is the same place it always was and Amenadiel tries to imitate Lucifer’s dressing code and kind of entertainment in the establishment. At the same time if you notice the fridge at Linda’s apartment it has some photos with Amenadiel, Linda and Charlie so the domestic life is going well on that front as well for him.
^If it’s Amenadiel it fits with the rehearsal if not then Lucifer and Chloe reunite earlier but I believe it’s Amenadiel.
Moving on as you know each episode has a case! Episode 5x01 features many different locations but I’ll start from Maze’s clothes at LUX. We do not know if the LUX scene is early in the episode and I would assume it is not. Maze’s clothes at LUX are seen in two locations LUX and at a boat where she is accompanied by Ella yet that’s not the murder scene.
^That’s the main pattern I saw at LUX day of the extras wearing.
^Josh’s photo is upside down ;)
^Just a speculation but does LInda visit LUX? No idea.
After LUX day which lasted for over 13 hours I believe it lasted in total for about 15-16h... So it’s big scene.
^Chloe shot and Lesley Ann waiting to enter the scene
Ella’s shirt is also one of the reasons why I believe that’s at the beginning of the episode as later on, she wears a yellow and then a blue shirt during the episode.
The murder scene takes place at a downtown Penthouse - not Lucifer’s - which acts as an illegal gambling establishment for rich players. If you have watched the movie Molly’s Game you will get what I mean. So let’s assume that murder happens there, the LAPD investigates the scene but afterwards, when Chloe is at the precinct she turns to Maze for some reason or Maze drags her to LUX.
Note that Lucifer looks angry perhaps even dejected according to the available bts
^No Green screen so do not expect something supernatural to happen just Lucifer infuriated giving a verbal point of how pointless everything is I presume.
Now call me a weird but there is a possibility of Ella being at the playing table BEFORE the murder case... or perhaps who could be the last person to see in Hell? Ella even for a fraction of a second? No idea again just a wild speculation...But I do not think that’s it... not entirely at least.. Aimee was well dressed at the following photo there... In my other speculation, Lucifer tries to get people to help him without involving Chloe at all.. Yet note that the dates they were posted on social media were different so we cannot be sure
Now if Ella does help with the case is it too farfetched to hope that she will spill the beans about Candy to Chloe in 5x01? Dad I HOPE SO!.
Afterwards, we see that Maze and Ella track down a rich guy on a boat. Maze is wearing the same clothes she did at LUX and I would speculate that the yacht belongs to Lee (The yacht is called the Lightbringer and is a known in L.A. yacht to rent for events etc.) with all the money he got OTHERWISE it was Lee who got killed and is the familiar face in hell and a close relative (his son?) took his fortune. You see a young black guy was hired as a guest so it is possible to assume that. There was a script page as well a blurry one but we do not know if the name was Les or Lee.. Here is the thing though... There was also a guy who looked like Jeremiah aka Lee in DTLA but I do not know if it was during the murder -if it happens there which if it does then fitting! or if he was there for his usual encounter with Lucifer...-
Now about that yacht...
Now at that yacht we have Maze kicking some not so pretty behinds and we do not know how it goes from there unfortunately but I would assume that Lucifer and Maze are reunited early on that episode perhaps around the first quarter or so.
While everything happens Lucifer visits the DTLA Penthouse - Gambling establishment and he seems pissed possibly because his money was the reason Lee was murdered if we support that theory?
From there we also have a location that was shot at the WB ranch, the place where FRIENDS shot their intro scene at the fountain and which was sold by WB yet they can still use it for the time being.
At that ranch, there is a small town set which has some middle-class houses. In one of those houses, there was a baby shower for a baby girl I suppose and is where Lucifer seeks more answers. I do not know if someone bleeds or something but they had to wash the street afterwards. The scene happens at night and Lucifer again is NOT pleased. Along with Lucifer I believe that there was also Maze and I do not know if Maze was also there in the morning shots that follow with Chloe but she had her stunt with her and her presence at the stages suggest that she may have been at the precinct as well with those clothes but that’s a speculation.
Lucifer’s car at the lot in the main WB lot not the ranch.
Now do be careful as Chloe's visit in the morning might be before Lucifer’s one at night we just do not know exactly at the moment.
^You can see Lucifer in the middle of the shot.
^I believe that’s in that house at night.
^Maze Lucifer and the Guy?
According to the guest's clothes I suspect that Chloe gets there in the morning and then Lucifer at night as he wears the exact same ones...
At this point my belief is that perhaps Maze helps Chloe, then Lucifer gets involved without Chloe realising he is there or perhaps that’s the point she sees him and Maze along with Lucifer get into a fight. The suspect might have run or perhaps Lucifer and Maze protected Chloe unfortunately we cannot know what exactly is going on.
A third speculation at the same timeframe is that Maze is reunited with Lucifer at the penthouse and they start working together from that point. The follow Chloe perhaps even save her from the suspect as he runs and then both return at night to confront him.
Now there is also a morning shooting scene there or perhaps even two as we do know that Chloe as a Detective goes to ask the guy some questions while Lucifer has some action scenes at that point.
Ellis’ and Lesley-Ann’s stunts were there and took care of the scene which needed to be delivered yet, in my opinion, there was no meet up there. I do not know if Chloe managed to take a glimpse of Lucifer or not but I assume that at that point she knows Lucifer is back but he still avoids her to spare her the pain as he probably believes he will have to go back to Hell once his quest finishes.
Fast forward we go to the last part of the episode which takes place at the DTLA Penthouse at night where Chloe appears to be on a sting operation, pretending to be a player and I would also assume that Ella is at the van guiding her through that. At the same time though we have Lucifer and Maze trying to do their own thing and Dan somewhere in the middle.
We know that it’s the final scene as there are police cars at the scene and my speculation is this.
Chloe is at the sting operation, Ella helps and Dan is also involved close by at a car. Lucifer and Maze try to gain entrance and we have a Green screen used and some wires as they were shooting two different scenes and one of them had Ellis suspended I believe from the wires. No idea if he was trying that the human way or Lucifer had enough and flew up there yet at some point the suspect break free and goes to the street.
youtube
The last part of the episode is divided in two parts. The sting operation and the second painful part
^ The building on the right with the helicopter landing space is the where the penthouse is located and the middle of the street in front of Hope park is where the conclusion of the episode was shot with some other additional scenes.
Two scenes were shot for the first time. One of them was Lucifer? lying, being levitated, using human means to climb to the penthouse? Who knows but there was a green screen behind him. Perhaps he was in the penthouse and was pushed or trying to avoid Chloe he opted to fall off? No idea.
Now at the same location, we have Ella with a messy ban like she was really into the game she might have been instructed to Chloe to play at the penthouse.
Maze’s outfit makes me wonder if Maze decided to also go undercover to help Lucifer or even Chloe we will know once it drops I’m afraid. Yet it looks like she is along with the girls at the end of the episode.
Also see javiergame4 ‘s BTS ON REDDIT AND POSTED ON IGMUR BTS
At the end, I think that the guy who Lesley-Ann was hugging was the culprit and the one who starts a chain of events.
I do believe that Dan who might be in the car waiting for the sting to end up trapped with the culprit in the car and to be eventually be throwed outside the window.
Of course, that is one interpretation as there is also the following bts Lucifer in front of the car and then the car seems to have turned so either Lucifer is the cause for the guy’s, perhaps Dan’s injury or the reason why he is paradoxically saved. Perhaps both. You can see teh green screen be used which may suggest a car chase or something which Lucifer puts into a halt. The second car I believe is Chloe’s.
^The guy ends up on the street
But someone in white seems to protect someone so we do not know what is going on. If Lucifer protects Chloe, if some power comes forward and saves Dan.
^The person in white next to the ambulance
My opinion? Chloe indeed needs help and Lucifer comes forward in a scene that reminds me a bit of Lois and Superman in Superman Returns meaning that it might be him saving her that exposes his return from Hell to her.
Chloe, Ella - see the bun behind Chloe, and Maze in front of a dead body bag coroner bed.
Also Chloe appears to be in front of the guy who gets injured... Again we assume this is the end of the episode... But someone eventually DOES die as we know from the body bag and again I would assume that it is Dan. Do not ask me why I insist on that so much but I have this gut feeling he will have a short experience with Hell which will allow him to seek a second chance like Charlotte for when Death reclaims him once more.
Now if Dan does die for a while and Lucifer has a hand in his revival it would also explain why in 5x03 or even at the end of 5x02 we have Dan and Lucifer wearing the same amethyst bracelet... Also why Lucifer cannot really leave again for the time being...
Additional info
We do know there is a woman guest with lines on the boat and the DTLA penthouse so I would keep an eye on her for the case.
Aimee Garcia was showing off Ella’s pens for the season and I have to admit that the screwdriver caught my interest for an obvious reason…
So has Amenadiel visited Lucifer at Hell? According to D.B.’s interview where he said that the character is currently busy so he has not, consider that Lucifer changing to a full Devil body in front of him may have not been the best memory he has of his baby brother. So in a way, Amenadiel might be deep down calm that the pieces have fallen into their place. He is of course sorely mistaken…

Just to keep you piccolo fans distracted.
Commercial
The screen changes and appears a desk and a large, black chair. Soon the chair turns and Frieza is seen in a pastel purple suit with a black tie, holding a glass of blood red wine.
"Why hello you simpletons. Lord Frieza here. Though I think it's futile for me to be introducing myself," he looks away from the 4th wall for a moment before turning back to the screen. "That's what I enslaved you for."
Then Goku steps in. "Come on Frieza, stop scaring people. You didn't enslave anyone."
Frieza glares at Goku. "Monkey! Get off my set."
Goku smiles. "Sure. I just need the crew to film what we actually came here for."
Before Frieza can respond Goku gestures for the film crew to follow him and soon the camera shows Goku running up to another set.
On that set is a red couch in the left side, a turquoise seat on the far right with a glass table next to it. On the wall of the set there's a large board that says "Just Saiyan."
Goku quickly leaves the cameras sight and comes back wearing a blue suit with a black shirt under and a orange tie.
"Hey everyone and welcome to the first showing of Just Saiyan."
He goes to sit on the turquoise lounge chair. "Don't get attached 'cause I'm not gonna be doing this often.",he says rubbing the back of his head.
"Now wait just a moment!",Frieza exclaims, marching onto the set. "I was in the middle of my-!"
"Frieza!" Goku cuts him off. He looks at Frieza dead serious in the eyes then points towards the couch across from him and smiles. "Why don't you take a seat? I was just about to talk about a book you're in."
Frieza's eye twitches but he then turns to the camera before fixing his suit. He sits and sighs then places a smile for the audience.
"So I've heard. Is it mainly about me?" Frieza places a leg over the other, rest his elbow on the arm of the couch then rest his face on his fist.
"Well, I wouldn't know I haven't read it."
Goku laughs nervously. "I know that it's about Piccolo though."
A scowl appears on Frieza's face. "Piccolo? You mean that Namek. Why am I even here then?"
"Because," Goku squints his eyes as he looks at the fourth wall. "You play...a...special pot..oh part. You play a special part in it."
"Are you seriously reading lines right now?", Frieza asks.
Goku turns to Frieza. "Yeah. Isn't that how it goes. Don't you have any?"
Frieza chuckles. "I'm a professional. I don't need lines."
Goku tries to read his lines but then gives up. "Well anyway, I'll just skip to inviting Vegeta and Piccolo."
The applause sign lights up and the live studio audience starts clapping. Soon Vegeta walks in with Piccolo following. Piccolo has on a purple suit with a blue tie and Vegeta has a maroon suit and black tie.
They hesitantly sit next to Frieza on the large couch, with Piccolo in the middle of Frieza and Vegeta.
Piccolo tugs at his collar. "Why did I have to wear this? It's so uncomfortable."
"I know right.",Goku replies. "I'm surprised no one's died because of these."
A cameraman coughs and everyone focuses on the camera again.
"Anyway...Piccolo how do feel about the new book written about you?"
"I don't know it's alright I guess...",he mumbles, crossing his arms.
"He just doesn't wanna talk about how much he loves it because some parts are embarrassing." Gohan slides in wearing a green suit.
"Everyone welcome my son, Gohan." The crowd applauses once again as Gohan waves to them and the camera. Suddenly a chair similar to Goku's appears next to him.
"Aww what!?", Vegeta exclaims. "I could've sat there instead of by this bastard.",he says pointing to Frieza.
"Not enjoying this either.",Frieza mentions.
"Guys guys." Gohan gets their attention before anyone can starts fight. "We're here for the book. That we're all in. Let's just talk about that."
"What's their else to say? There's a book, with us, done. Let's leave.",Vegeta says.
"How bout the name. The author. That it's a Piccolo love story. Then we can leave.", Gohan looks at his father. "Got that, dad?"
"Oh yeah.",Goku smiles. Piccolo blushes a bit but it quickly fades. Gohan smiles at his teacher. "Come on Piccolo. It's not that bad. Look at the bright side... you're loved."
"Whatever.",he grumbles.
"Ok, so there's a book written a few weeks ago by a dear friend of mine, LightlyMelanin. I'm sure you know her."
"Yeah, she's the psycho kid with terrible taste in men. Like the Namek.",Vegeta adds earning a an annoyed growl from Piccolo.
Frieza chuckles. "Oh yes, that eccentric little bipolar heathen."
Goku snorts. "Remember that time with her and Beerus?"
Everyone soon breaks out in laughter.
"Anyway people. It's called When Worlds Collides (Dragonball Fanfic). It's an awesome book. I suggest you check it out.",Goku adds.
Frieza raises a brow. "How'd you know, you've never even read it."
"I'll get to it."
"Sure you will.",Piccolo says sarcastically. "Anyway are we done here? I need to go meet her-"
"What you doing with her?",Gohan asks cheekily.
Piccolo glares at him. "Leave me alone." He then turns to camera. "Anyway if you're a fan of me, love romance, weirdness and some stupid drama then I suggest you check it out."
"And cut.",the director says.
"Great, we can get out of these stupid suits.",Vegeta says.
"Yeah, it does make you look terrible doesn't it.",Frieza comments.
Vegeta and Frieza start going at it. The others ignore them. Mainly because Goku's stuffing his face and Piccolo was eager to get out of the suit that has been strangling him.
Gohan looks up at Piccolo. "So you and Melanin-"
"I just wanna thank her for the terrible book.",Piccolo cuts him off. "Nothing else."
"If you say so." Gohan smirks. "Wanna go train after?"
"Sure."

Clueless
06 - “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”
Summary: Videl had been dating Gohan for years, and she was more than ready to take their relationship further. However, she was running out of patience waiting for him to make the first move. She realizes that if she wanted things to move along, she was gonna have to just tell him. Or better yet, show him.
A HanVi (Gohan x Videl) one-shot for prompt #06 on this post, for @hannabelllecter
Chapter Warning: Raunchy themes, mentions of sex and nudity; Fluff.
Also on Ao3.
8-8-8-8-8
Note: This is my first attempt at writing for a DB pairing other than Vegebul, so I am both excited and nervous! I have always loved Gohan x Videl though, so I hope you all like this!
8-8-8-8-8
Clueless
8-8-8-8-8
Videl knew, with one hundred and ten percent certainty, that she loved Gohan.
She was also absolutely certain that Gohan loved her back.
The one thing that puzzled her though, was…
Why, oh Kami, why, had he never tried to get her to sleep with him?
Didn’t he want to? Was it even normal for a young man of twenty to not have his mind in the gutter?
Because Kami in heaven, her mind had been mired in there for months.
They had been dating since high school.
Three. Damn. Years.
And she was getting impatient...
She was only human, dammit!
What human woman with eyes and a functional reproductive system wouldn’t want to get a piece of Gohan?
He was perfection in the flesh!
With his soft dark hair in a naturally messy wave, and pitch black eyes that could drown her in their depth and unbelievable gentleness…
His obscenely sharp jaw that bordered plump lips… his powerful, yet tender hands, and a graceful body seemingly sculpted by no less than the highest gods themselves.
And incredibly enough, even beyond his physicality, there was Gohan’s beautiful soul, his bravery and strength, the intensity of which were beaten only by his profound intellect.
She would hazard to say that Gohan was the perfect man –
“Videl-san?” the so-called perfect man asked as they flew lazily across the sky, heading home from university. He peered worriedly into her face as he noted her flushed cheeks. “Are you alright?”
She nodded resolutely, looking away from him in an effort to hide her still darkening cheeks.
“Are you sure?” he asked, brows knitting in concern. “You’re flushed! You looked like this too, while we were in your backyard yesterday.”
While they were in her backyard and the damn clueless hunk of delicious man was shirtless and dripping wet, and she was treated to the incredible view of those enviable drops of water gliding slowly down his skin, his wide, muscular chest glistening in the sun, lips parted as he heaved himself out of the deep end of the swimming pool…
She had been wearing her sexiest possible bikini, hoping for a reaction from him, and all she got was, “Wow, Videl-san, your arm muscles are so firm! Did you change something in your gym routine?”
… Alright, so perhaps Gohan wasn’t so perfect.
When it came to anything remotely sexual, all advances were utterly lost on him.
She was wrenched from her thoughts when she felt him grasp her hand, pulling her with him, as he slowly flew them towards the ground.
He dropped them both down, and he stood before her, a frown marring his handsome face as he tried to assess her for any sort of physical damage.
“Gohan-kun, I’m fine,” she assured him, smiling lightly to calm him.
He was quite paranoid about her safety, and she knew that this stemmed from his unconventionally difficult childhood and all the death that he had witnessed while growing up.
His trauma, usually left unmentioned, had made him a staunch pacifist. Though he was surrounded by fighters, Gohan stayed a steady, secure person who tried hard to resolve conflicts with his brain rather than his brawn.
It was his looks and power that attracted her to him.
It was his kindness and unfailing spirit that made her stay.
“You’re absolutely sure, Videl-San?” he asked again. “I noticed you getting a lot more flushed than usual when we’re sparring or studying at home. If you’ve been having hot flashes or anything of the sort, you need to tell me. I can get you a Senzu if you’re feeling sick.”
…It was his astounding cluelessness that made her shake her head.
“I told you, I’m fine,” she answered with a roll of her eyes. “Stop worrying. Let’s just head back home. I still need to pick your brains for my Physics exam.”
His sudden, gentle smile caught her unprepared, and she gaped openly at him as he leaned forward and gathered her in a warm hug, his hands resting comfortingly on her lower back as he tucked her close.
His chin dropped down onto the top of her head, and she felt him sigh against her, his chest rising and falling smoothly against her warm cheeks.
“You know I… I c-care about you a lot, ne, Videl-san?” he asked, the calm whisper melting her where she stood.
He spoke again. “You bring out the best in me, Videl-san. And I want you to keep doing that, keep making me feel human, for as long as I live. So, I want you to always be safe and healthy for me, alright?”
She nodded against him, burying her face into his chest, feeling the warm, hard planes of his chest.
He smelled so good… an intoxicating mix of dark seas and freshly-cut grass, all the comfort of home sprinkled with a spicy taste of adventure.
His deep-seated powers radiated outwards from his very core, manifesting in a near tangible spark of electricity that surged through him and into Videl’s skin.
Unbidden, images of him shirtless, sweaty, panting from exertion, crossed Videl’s mind, and her libidinous thoughts wandered haphazardly into uncharted territories…
How those muscles would feel against her palms as he strained above her...
How his sweat would taste on her tongue as she licked up his delectably thick neck…
If that thin birthmark that slashed across his lower belly really reached all the way down to his…
She was so lost in his scent, in the promise of the taste of his skin, that she unconsciously let out a low, throaty moan.
Within a second, he had stiffened, pulling away from her, and he held her at arm’s length, his face slightly pale as he spoke in a hushed whisper.
“Videl?” he asked.
She was so drunk on him that she barely noticed the way he had dropped the honorific at the end of her name.
Her head was heavy, her tongue felt like cotton against the roof of her mouth as she gaped, trying to find her voice so she could respond to him.
“Gohan…” she finally managed, momentarily confused by the breathy, husky sound that came out of her own lips.
She looked away, pulled rapidly out of her fantasies by her sheer embarrassment as she realized how… improper… she had just been.
“Oh Kami, what must Gohan be thinking of me right now?!” Videl thought, her face flushing once again from her humiliation.
Had she really just moaned against Gohan?!
Gohan cleared his throat, drawing her attention back to him, and she immediately noticed his reddened cheeks as he stared determinedly at the ground, seemingly unable to look at her.
He held out his hand towards her, and she took it out of habit, her fingers shaking slightly as she met the warmth of his skin with the clammy nervousness of her own.
Without another word, he pulled her up, turning back into the direction of West City.
She chanced a glance at him, catching his blush that reached all the way to his ears, and it was these tiny reactions that made her excitedly realize that Gohan wasn’t so clueless after all.
He was clearly uneasy, embarrassed, flustered… all signs pointed to the fact that he understood what had just happened. And if the way he firmly held her hand meant anything, it stood to reason that he must surely want her, as well.
Along with this enlightening thought, however, came a huge wave of dread, as she also realized that the same overwhelming signs showed that Gohan would never, ever, make the first move on her towards progressing their relationship.
He was far too pure, far too nice, and even if he did want her, he would be too much of a gentleman to ask.
If she wanted to get him to touch her, dropping hints and dressing provocatively wasn’t going to cut it.
Videl was going to have to seduce him, or explicitly tell him.
And she didn’t have a clue as to how.
Her thoughts raced in a messy jumble, trying to come up with an idea as to how to go about propositioning a man who could easily fly away from her at the first sign of awkwardness.
It was as she and Gohan flew over the sprawling Capsule Corp estate that took up most of the inner city that it suddenly hit her.
“Of course!” she thought. “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?”
Bulma-san.
The only woman she knew who had successfully gotten a violent, murderous alien warrior prince to commit and actually marry her, surely must have an idea on how to get Gohan to fall into bed with her!
8-8-8-8-8
Videl landed softly on the well-kept grass of Capsule Corps’ main house, and she walked slowly towards the main door as she once again went over her plan.
She had given Gohan a bullshit excuse about going on a shopping trip with Erasa so that he wouldn’t wait for her to fly her home. He had smiled, then flown off, muttering something about needing to speak to an “elder”.
She, of course, needed to find Bulma-san.
“Oi.”
The sudden low growl from right behind Videl made her shriek, and she leapt backwards away from the hair-raising ki presence behind her, hands already raised in defense.
It took her less than a second to recognize the wild, dark hair, the terrifying eyes, and the thickly-muscled arms dressed in a loose blue shirt.
“Vegeta-san!” she exclaimed in relief, bowing low while she noted the low-rise jeans and running shoes. “I… I didn’t notice you there, I’m sorry!”
He smirked, crossing his arms as he leaned his weight on one leg, regarding her with curiosity.
“Gohan’s woman,” he addressed her, and she would have rolled her eyes if the situation she was in wasn’t so desperate. “What has brought you here?”
“I was… I was thinking of paying Bulma-san a visit,” she answered.
He raised a brow. “For what reason? Are you and the boy having problems?”
Her eyes flew open in surprise. “Um… not really. But I do need to ask her something important.”
His smirk widened. “Is the boy not… performing?”
She didn’t immediately catch on, but when she did, Videl felt all her blood rush painfully to her cheeks, and she sputtered, trying hard to deny his claim while knowing that her actions clearly stated that he wasn’t too far off.
Vegeta threw his head back, laughing maniacally at her discomfort, before he looked her in the eye with one of his trademark piercing glares.
“If that is your concern, you have come to the right place. Bulma, vulgar as she is, would be delighted to be of assistance. You can find her in the right wing,” he said, and without waiting for a response, he turned around to fly off to Kami-knows where.
Now even more embarrassed than she had already been to begin with, Videl marched stiffly towards the correct wing, sighing in relief when she finally found the beautiful, blue-haired older woman sitting amongst a pile of twisted metal and copper wires.
She stood silently, outside of the scientist’s line of sight, observing her as she expertly twisted myriad strands of wiring and mechanical plates together.
She had met Bulma several times before, and Videl knew her as a funny, irreverent woman whose tongue’s sharpness was rivaled only by her fashion sense. However, she had never actually seen the Capsule Corp heiress at work, and Videl was rather taken aback to realize that among her machines, Bulma truly looked the part of a mechanic: grease on her cheeks and on her blue overalls, a frown on her brow as she puzzled out what to do and how to make her machines work at optimum performance.
She had always wondered how the rich, incorrigible female genius had ever managed to find love with the stoic, volatile alien prince. Yet, looking at Bulma now, and thinking back to how Vegeta had behaved a few minutes earlier, Videl thought she finally understood.
At their cores, Bulma was an unfathomably intelligent woman who had fallen for a strategically crafty warrior, and Vegeta was a soldier whose wry sense of humor had found a complement in Bulma’s outlandish wit.
Bulma-san and Vegeta-san became their most buried, best selves, when with each other. They brought out the best aspects of each other…
They were perfect together, after all…
Videl then began to wonder if she, the loud and boyish daughter of a professional conman, truly was compatible with the shy, naturally-gifted boy who was the true savior of the Earth.
Forcing those thoughts aside, Videl stepped forward, waving her arms to catch Bulma’s attention.
Bulma looked up, eyes wide in surprise.
“Videl-chan,” she said with a smile, cheerfully waving back. “This is a surprise. What brings you here?”
Videl smiled uneasily, shifting her weight as she stood before the older woman, and she cringed back in horror as she realized that she had completely forgotten the words she had rehearsed in her head, and now had no idea how to start asking her questions.
“I… I… Bulma-san. I needed to ask you…” she stuttered.
Bulma just smiled. “Ask me what?”
Videl flushed in discomfort, eyes casting around as if searching the air for a written script on how to best phrase her doubts. “I… it’s about… Gohan-kun.”
“What about him?”
“I… oh Kami,” she muttered, running her fingers through her hair in agitation. “I am so sorry, I came here and I don’t even know how to start!”
“Well,” Bulma began, getting up from her work seat to walk towards Videl, pulling on her arm and leading her to sit on a nearby leather couch. They both sat, Bulma’s hand on Videl’s knee, and with a comforting squeeze, asked, “How about you start by telling me how things have been going on with you two?”
Videl rambled on about school, stuttering through her stories, and Bulma patiently smiled as she finally got to the part about the previous day’s detour.
“Ne, Videl,” Bulma said, a secretive smile on her lips, while a naughty spark suddenly entered her eyes. “You want to start having sex with Gohan, is that it?”
Videl’s entire face lit up a bright red, and she felt her mouth convulsively open and close even as not a single sound came out.
Bulma laughed, lightly slapping her arm. “It’s ok! You can tell me! I know that if I had met the love of my life while I was your age, I would have been dying to take him for a ride.”
“Bulma-san!”
“What?” Bulma laughed. “I get it now. You want it. And you don’t know how to tell him.”
Videl fidgeted in her seat. “I… I… Yes. Kami, yes. I want to do it with him. But… I don’t know if he wants it.”
“Nonsense!” Bulma waved a hand dismissively. “Gohan is like, twenty. All men at that age constantly have sex on the brain.”
“Yes, but… Should we?” Videl asked. “I mean… is he the one? How do I know? Is it the right time?”
Videl watched as Bulma’s face melted from her earlier carefree grin into a more serious, motherly smile.
“Do you love him, Videl-chan?” she asked.
“Yes,” she answered immediately. “I do. So much. But I also want to know if this is going to be forever, if I am really the best girl for him, and if he is really the best man for me.”
“Right now, what do you think?”
“I… I don’t know, Bulma-san,” she said resignedly. “I mean… I love him. But… how do I know that this isn’t going to change someday? When you… when you met Vegeta-san, how did you know that he was it?”
“I didn’t.”
“Whah-”
Bulma laughed. “I didn’t. Vegeta and I… we had a strange start, Videl.”
Videl knew that.
She also knew that in a strange way, Vegeta and Bulma were among the most stable, committed couples that she knew of, and so, Bulma’s flippant answer caught her entirely unaware.
Bulma grinned. “Videl-chan, when Vegeta and I started, it wasn’t ideal. It wasn’t sweet moments and young love like you and Gohan. It was a long, harsh, road. We had denied our feelings for each other, even after Trunks was born. But… I stayed with him when I realized that, even though he was the biggest jerk in the universe, he was my jerk. I couldn’t be away from him, and with him, I felt… free.”
Videl blinked. “Free?”
Bulma nodded. “I could be myself. I wasn’t the sophisticated, billionaire heiress that needed to have a smart and rehearsed answer for everything. I was just a woman – his woman, but I’d never hear the end of it if I acknowledged that – and with Vegeta… I could be as noisy, as smart, or as dumb as I could possibly be, and he would still be there, smirking back at me. He saw the best of me even during my worst moments, and I still loved him in spite of his. I realized then that there could never be anyone else for me.”
Videl stared down at her hands, mulling those words over.
She understood exactly what Bulma meant.
On the outside, Videl had to be perfect… a model citizen, the only daughter of the hero, Mr. Satan.
But with Gohan…
With Gohan, she was a dork, an ordinary girl who wanted to snuggle up to her boyfriend, uncaring of the expectations placed upon her shoulders.
And still, he had helped her become a better person, had made her realize skills that she had thought were far beyond her potential.
And suddenly, she remembered his words from the day before…
“You bring out the best in me, Videl-san.”
Gohan was Videl’s only one, just as Vegeta was the only one for Bulma.
“Thank you… I get it now, Bulma-san. Gohan-kun… he is the one for me,” Videl said, a thin sheen of tears standing at the edges of her eyes as she finally, truly understood.
“So then… back to your original question,” Bulma said, moving to take her hands and hold them comfortingly between her warm, gentle palms. “Are you sure you want to take the next step with him?”
Videl nodded.
“Then I don’t see why you shouldn’t,” Bulma said. “My only advice, of course, is to be safe about it. Use protection. You are both very young. Too young for the responsibility of a child. Goku had Gohan at around this age, but Goku is miles apart from Gohan, and I know that you two want to finish schooling first before starting a family.”
Videl felt the sides of her lips begin to lift in a smile, before she remembered the true question she wanted answered.
“But… Bulma-san… How do I get him to… you know?” Videl asked, her mortification mottling her face in varying shades of red.
Bulma brightened. “Ah! Do you need help with seduction, then? Coz I have a bunch of lingerie that I have never used yet, and I am pretty sure that he would go wild if he saw you wearing one.”
Videl shook her head. “I have tried to dress sexy for him. He doesn’t… he doesn’t seem to get it.”
Bulma went quiet, mouth in a tight line of contemplation. “Oh. Odd.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, what I mean is that Vegeta was pretty receptive to my advances when I really started trying,” Bulma said, and Videl cringed at the thought of the impending TMI.
“So Vegeta-san wasn’t… dense about it?” she asked.
“Oh Kami, no,” Bulma said, and Videl could swear that the glazed look that had suddenly entered the scientist’s blue eyes meant that she was thinking back on some very explicit memories.
“Oh.”
“Vegeta was very keen on it, he knew exactly where I was headed, and he went right along for the ride, it was awesome-”
“Bulma-san…”
“He was unstoppable! Well, still is, and-”
“Bulma-san.”
“There was even that one time when we-”
“Bulma-san!” Videl squealed, finally pulling Bulma out of her very eager trip down memory lane.
“Oops. Sorry. I got carried away,” she said, a hand raising up to scratch lightly at the back of her head as she started laughing. “But I guess, what I am trying to say is… clearly, Gohan does not share Vegeta’s knack for understanding non-verbal hints, so you gotta be more direct with him. You have to tell him. He’s a very nice boy, and I’m sure he would be very reasonable about it, Videl-chan.”
Videl’s cheeks may very well have turned permanently red at that point. “Yes but… that’s just it. I can’t find it in myself to actually say it, Bulma-san.”
Bulma frowned, and Videl saw her tense slightly, her head leaning near-imperceptibly towards the right. “Well… If you can’t say the words, Videl… I don’t know what to tell you. It seems to me like Gohan-kun may have taken after his father. And from what I know about the Sons, body language won’t cut it. Heck, I doubt anything short of you showing up naked in his bedroom will give Gohan-kun a hint!”
Videl stilled.
That was…
That was such an incredibly outlandish idea.
An incredibly outlandish idea that just might work.
She beamed up at Bulma, who had seemingly gotten distracted by other thoughts by then, before she stood up, shaking Bulma’s hand vigorously.
“Bulma-san, thank you! I know what to do now!” she said.
Bulma smiled back, standing and nodding at her with an enthusiastic thumbs-up. “Go get him, girl!”
Videl ran out, mind already turning with her newfound plan.
8-8-8-8-8
Bulma glanced to her right with a sly smirk. “You can come out now.”
Her husband stepped casually away from the wall he had been leaning on, and Bulma grinned as he approached, arms crossed across his chest, a wry grin on his face.
“Spreading your vulgarity down to the children, I see,” he commented, and Bulma leaned up, laying a small kiss on his lips.
“No, I am not. She came to see me,” she responded. “Besides, hadn’t you been talking to Gohan just a few minutes before Videl arrived?”
Vegeta’s grin widened. “He had simply asked me for tips on how to control his strength during activities where one may inevitably lose control.”
“Oh, Videl is gonna be in trouble isn’t she?” Bulma cackled.
“Not in nearly as much trouble as you will be tonight, woman.”
“Tsk. Promises, promises.”
8-8-8-8-8
It was incredibly convenient, Videl thought, that Bulma had suddenly decided to call Goku-san, Chichi-san, and Goten-kun for an overnight excursion in one of her new luxury hotels, the day after their little discussion.
She thanked all the gods for Bulma once again, and resolved to get her an amazing gift for her next birthday.
Gohan, predictably, had opted to stay at home since he had an exam to study for.
Videl had snuck into his bedroom, arriving just a few minutes before Gohan did.
Before heading over, she had washed, scrubbed, shaved and exfoliated every single inch of herself, and she ran her hands down her silky legs as she began to set her plan into motion.
Videl hurriedly stripped naked, dumping her clothes onto a chair in the corner of Gohan’s neat little bedroom, before she made a bee-line for his small bed, diving beneath the covers just as she felt his ki wash over her as he approached the clearing where the little house stood.
She flared her own ki lightly, grinning when she felt his energy respond in kind.
She heard the front door creak open, and her stomach knotted in nervousness bordering on terror, even while her heart beat madly in anticipation.
“Videl-san?” Gohan called out, as she heard his light footsteps padding closer.
“In your bedroom, Gohan-kun!” she croaked, and she cleared her throat one last time before the door knob began to turn, and she closed her eyes tightly for a second before she opened them to regard the man that had begun to move into the room.
“Videl-san, what are yo-” he began cheerfully, cutting himself with a sharp inhale as he slowly, very surprisedly, took in the sight that laid before him.
“Vi-Videl-san!” he called softly, voice choked in absolute shock.
“Hi, Gohan-kun,” she whispered, hands tightly clutching the blankets that hid her clearly nude form from his awed gaze.
“Are you… are you…”
“Yes?”
“I-” he squeaked, before clearing his throat, and in a more reasonable tone, asked, “Is there a reason you’re naked in my bed?”
“Well… yes,” Videl answered, flushing darkly as she watched him openly gape at her, still as a statue, still standing right in front of the open door. “This is your fault, you know.”
“Me?!”
“Yes! Kami, Gohan, I have tried every trick in the book, but you just didn’t seem to get it!” she cried. “I had to resort to a… a more drastic method.”
Gohan’s stiff stance seemed to relax marginally, before he, with a small voice, asked. “Are you… are you trying to seduce me, Videl-san?”
She rolled her eyes. “What do you think?”
She watched as Gohan appeared to straighten, and his nervous eyes suddenly hardened into that firm, decisive look that he had on when faced with a foe that he intended to defeat.
“You want us to make love?”
She nodded.
“Are you absolutely sure?”
Videl smiled. “I have never been more sure of anything in my life, Gohan-kun.”
She could have sworn that she heard him mutter a relieved “Oh, thank Kami,” before his clothes melted off in a flurry of Super Saiyan frustration and he was above her, grasping madly at her body, the blanket somehow suddenly on the floor as he lunged forward and hungrily kissed her like the survival of the universe depended on the taste of her lips.
The last coherent thought that Videl had, before Gohan repeatedly brought her to heaven and back throughout the entirety of the night and the early morning, was that she had been right about that darn birth mark after all.

Character development questions for your Walk in the Woods boys: 6, 17 and 19 for Daniel, and 10, 11 and 20 for Johnny. Thank you!
Daniel
6. Does your character have recurring themes in their dreams?
He has nightmares. Terrible nightmares. I’ve talked about how he reacts to them before. And he’s never told Amanda what they’re about.
His nightmares are about snakes, three enormous snakes, eating everything he sees and all the people he loves. He can’t move, no matter how hard he tries (in the dream - in reality, he’s trashing around in the bed so much that he wakes Amanda up). He tries to scream, but nothing comes out (in the dream - in reality, he’s generally either mumbling loudly to himself or actually screaming).
He’s had the same nightmare, two or three times a month, for years. He is always covered in blood. He’s always in pain, but it’s not from any specific thing or part of him. It’s just all of him. He can never save anyone.
It’s always been the same three snakes, but they’re not any specific kind. It’s always been the three of them working together, and he’s always woken up when they turn and look at him.
The past few months, it’s changed. They happen more often. And now, after everyone else is dead and everything else is destroyed, one of the snakes disappears. One of them wraps itself around him while the other one watches. He can’t breathe when it happens. If Amanda hasn’t woken him up before then, he wakes up when the one that’s wrapped around him bites him.
17. What was your character’s favorite toy as a child?
This is actually weirdly relevant, believe it or not.
He didn’t get very many “in” toys when he was a kid, because his parents couldn’t really afford them. So it was a huge deal for him when he got a Stretch Armstrong for his 8th birthday. It was the last thing his father ever gave him. He didn’t play with it much after his father died, because it reminded him too much of him. So he mostly kept it on a shelf on the head of his bed. But sometimes, when he was missing his father really badly, or when he was having a hard time dealing with something and just needed to calm down, he’d use it like a stress ball. He’d stretch it or smash it, and it made him feel better. When he got to be a bit older, Lucille got him a dart board at a yard sale, the kind with the real pointy metal darts, and he hung it next to his bed. And sometimes, he’d miss and hit Stretch. The darts almost always bounced off, but he’d always apologize to him, anyway.
One day, when he was 13, his school did a father/son day for the 8th graders ... and he was the only boy without a dad. He didn’t tell Lucille, even though she’d have gone in a heartbeat. He went by himself and sat on a bench alone all day.
Then he went home, and he sat on his bed, and he grabbed Stretch, and he just started playing with him. Rougher than he ever had before, swinging him around by his arm, standing on his feet, the kind of dumb things kids do with those things. He didn’t know one of the darts had punched a hole in his arm until it started tearing. And he tried to stop before it got too big, and he tried to fix it, but he couldn’t.
Lucille came home from work and found him in sobbing in the corner of his bedroom, with the empty rubber remains of Stretch in his hand, and a puddle of corn syrup on his floor.
19. What is your character’s biggest relationship flaw? Has this flaw destroyed relationships for them before?
Okay, so, talking about this strictly from the perspective of Walk, and bearing in mind all of this is going to be discussed at great length in the s-word that’s going to follow it ... Yes, it has destroyed relationships before. It almost destroyed his marriage, but, thankfully, Amanda took the time to actually understand what’s going on with him - the how of it, not the why - and she was strong enough to deal with it. She also loves him enough to do and be the exact opposite of what he expects.
He doesn’t trust people. He doesn’t trust anyone. Even when he loves them, even when he knows they’re 100% worthy of his trust, he still can’t force himself to give it. Not fully. He has a lot of secrets, most of them concerning the Terry Silver months and their aftermath, and he shares them with no one.
He also has a ridiculously low self esteem, which seems odd for someone as successful as he is, but he hides it very well. That was a pre-existing condition, of sorts, that pre-dated Terry getting his hooks into him. He’d been learning to deal with it, but Terry made it 1000x worse, and he came out of it so damaged that he didn’t even trust Lucille anymore. His dad had left him, after all, so why wouldn’t she? And she’d already run off and left him once, anyway. (Remember, this is his very fragile and damaged psyche talking - it’s not exactly reality.)
The only person he has completely and totally trusted since 1985 was Mr. Miyagi, and that was because even after everything that happened, Mr. Miyagi didn’t walk away. Even when Daniel told him to, even when he tried to make him, he refused to leave him alone.
Because that’s what he expects to happen. Everyone is playing with him. Everyone just wants to mess with his head. Everyone wants to hurt him. And he knows it’s crazy, and he’s knows he’s wrong, but there’s this part of him that expects to wake up one day and find out that Amanda’s been playing him, too, and she’ll deliver her punchline and walk out, just like everyone else has.
When he tells someone he trusts them - which he has done exactly once since Mr. Miyagi died - he means it. He’s never said it to Amanda. He has said it to Johnny.
Johnny
10. Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing?
That’s ... an interesting question.
I think, honestly, he feels most comfortable in whatever’s appropriate for the weather and setting he’s in that day. If it’s warm, he’s fine in a t-shirt. If it’s chilly, he’ll wear a jacket. He’s fine with layers. He’s fine walking around with his shirt open.
The only clothing thing I think he really cares about is shorts. He doesn’t do shorts. Ever. Which is kinda odd for a guy who lives in California. There’s no real reason for it, and he wore them when he was a kid, but he hasn’t since he was a teenager. He just refuses to wear them.
11. In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?
Before Walk starts:Scariest bad situation he’d ever been in: the parking lot at the All Valley ArenaScariest good situation he’d ever been in: the day Robby was bornDuring and after Walk:Saturday, May 26, 2018 is and always will be the single most terrifying day of his life (I’m sorry, Johnny!)
20. In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?
Before Cobra Kai, definitely before Walk, I don’t think he did it much at all, for either reason. His life just kind of happened to him, and he went along with it. “It is what it is,” kinda thing. He is/was who he is/was. The only person I could ever see him comparing himself to is Daniel, but even that would have been for neither of those reasons. It would have been more a “this is what he is, and this is what I am, and this sucks,” kinda thing. I don’t think he’d have validated his life or choices with it, but I also don’t think he’d have criticized himself for it. Because it was all Daniel’s fault anyway.
That mindset sticks with him for a bit in Walk, but not for long. It changes quite a few times. It settles for a while on, “Wow, he’s a lot more like me than I thought,” which makes sense, I think, being just a little over a week since DbS.
By the end, though ... when he compares himself to Daniel, it’s about self-criticism, but not self-loathing. He starts thinking Daniel isn’t just richer or more successful, which still sucks, but Daniel’s a better person than he is. And that mindset leads him to do ... a few things ... that he’d never have imagined himself doing. It’s not because he thinks Daniel’s better than him, but because Daniel, instead of this terrible boogeyman who ruined his life, becomes someone who inspires him to be a better person.
For reasons. And stuff. And things. That I can’t talk about yet. Because they haven’t been posted.
Thanks for these! They took me hours, but they’re awesome!

LUX: part 1.
LUX review part one.
I don't know where to even start. I haven't slept much, its 1:30 am in Brighton and this was the best convention I've ever attended. And not just because I'm obsessed.
When the show was canceled, I reactivated my Twitter account. I made Devil Birds for #SaveLucifer, joined some groups and had already been writing fanfic like a crazy person. (Thanks, Danielle Stilloe, even though you wanted more Supernatural)
Even before Netflix picked up the show, they were in talks for a convention, so the announcement after it was saved was coincidence, but a good one. Every guest there made me and everyone else feel loved and important. I got to sit and talk to the showrunners and almost the entire cast and I never once felt like I was being rushed on the next autograph desk.
I got to meet in-person several other of my favorite fanfic authors and get to meet my beta on Tuesday, Rika Reh. In particular GlitterSkullFairy, NotOneLine, who put together an amazing gift poster that we all signed with our Twitter handles and gifted to the show. Heather Hauenstein who made me a mod on several Lucifer groups she runs.
I've never been happier to watch actual opening and closing ceremonies but I may be slightly brain-friend by TOM ELLIS wearing MY TSHIRT. I also may have left a note with the shirt with my fan fic author name (cough)
I got to meet a ton of people I've only talked to online and still missed several. I'm going to do an entire separate post on fanmeets, because OMG. I spent 20 minutes each with the two showrunners(1 table), DB Woodwside, Lesley-Ann(Maze), Lauren German (who got in a candy-throwing heckle war with Kevin's table on Sunday) and Kevin the previous day.
And yes, I totally bought Kevin/Dan a beer. I think some of them know me now XD. He recognized me after a costume change, and I was the only person there that I saw with light up rainbow flashing horns. Didn't show up in photo ops, but dammit, Tom put on my horns for the cast photo.
Holy crap.

The Fate of the Last Saiyan Prince
The title is awful auspicious for such a short piece. I’ve never written in this fandom before but Vegeta and Bulma were one of my first ships EVER! I loved their dynamic and when I was watching Dragon Ball Super to help with my sanity I fell in love with these hotheads all over again.
This piece is more about Vegeta and his family then a traditional romantic piece. I love it though.
Inspired by Wanderer's Lullaby, Being Human, and all the DBZ and DBS I've been watching lately. I cried while writing it. I don't think this is exactly all cannon - I may have gotten some details wrong, but this is just my take on the situation. I've heard that he actually dies before she does, but these images wouldn't leave my head, so here we are. He refers to his daughter as Echalotte and Trunks calls her Bulla (blame subtitles) - I am aware she is Bra.
I really hope you enjoy the story - sad as it is. The ending I think makes it better.
The Fate of the Last Saiyan Prince
He landed on earth it had been years since he’d been home…home? He shook his head, when did this backwater, mud-ball become home? He could feign ignorance and pretend that he didn’t know when that had happened, but he wasn’t one to disillusion himself.
Hey Homeboy, loosen up!
He could still hear her clear as the moment she teased him to get his attention.
You need a shower.
He could still feel that finger pressing against his armor and remembered following her like some kind of lost puppy.
He landed at her grave, entombed with her parents, where it was proper. Her smiling image marking the vault, a moment frozen in time from shortly after their daughter was born. Trunks had picked out the photograph, he hadn’t been able to speak and Echalotte never left his side.
“Trunks – it’s a family name. I don’t really care what you think! You won’t even claim him you asshole!”
“Bulla – cutest name for the cutest girl. Like it? We can give her a Saiyan middle name if you want, Hun.”
His son had grown up and into his own after many years of being far too obnoxious. Trunks had taken an interest in the inner working of the technological empire he was heir too, learning alongside his grandfather and mother. He’d married Mai, and she was a good choice, they took over the company with ease. Trunks had a family of his own now, two kids and they all lived on the compound that had been Vegeta’s home for so many years. He was proud of Trunks, but his son took after his mother in so many ways.
His daughter was far more like him then he’d like to admit. He first saw it when she was six and was determined to be the best ballet dancer in her class, demanding to stay up past her bedtime to practice with a singular determination to reach her goal. When she was ten, her birthday party was in full swing and he observed her sneaking off by herself. He confronted her and she shrugged explaining that she didn’t really want all of the fuss, but it made Mamma happy so she’d acquiesced. His Echalotte…Bulla’s selflessness was from her mother, even if she displayed it more like him.
He could feel all of them in the house tonight, some kind of celebration was being prepared for, he could see all of the telltale signs. He focused until he found Echalotte’s ki and landed on the balcony outside the room. She was sitting in a zip-up shirt and lounge pants as she applied her make-up. She was the very image of her mother with her shortened blue hair.
“Hello, Father.” She smiled at him softly through the mirror’s reflection, then continued her task. “You missed all the excitement. The twins were born two months ago. I think you need to have a conversation with Trunks, before he and Mai repopulate the Saiyan race all on their own.”
He smirked and stepped into the room that had been Echalotte’s when she was growing up. “She survived having twins? I wouldn’t have given Mai that much credit.”
“Shenron may have been involved.” She flashed an identical smirk back at him. “Don’t tell her.”
He gave an agreeable sound and glanced around the room, before asking, “How is your son?”
“Reign is good. It’s been two years here since you’ve been home. He’s five and stronger than I originally expected. My experiment worked, I knew I could find a DNA combination in a human that would amply the Saiyan and not delude it.”
She had a mind like her mother sometimes, and her way of having a child had been a fight between them. He hadn’t approved of her DNA examination and artificial insemination. It was the first real fight he’d ever had with his daughter. It didn't help that she'd started her research right after they lost...
“I’m glad you’re pleased.”
“No, you aren’t. You wanted me to be wrong and you still want to know who his father is.” She put in her earrings and stood up, but kept some space between them. She was two inches taller than he was and she wasn’t trying to challenge him right now.
He waved his hand dismissively, “I want you to be happy. However it happened, it happened.”
There was a knock on the door followed by “mother” in Saiyan royal tongue.
“Enter.” Echalotte answered and a boy who was no less his own spitting image stepped into the room, his eyes lighting up.
“Grandfather! You’re here!” Reign started excitedly before remembering himself. “I’m excited to see you. I can’t sense your power-level.” He inclined his head to one side.
“I’m camouflaging it. Something you should have started training on.” Vegeta informed his grandson without any real malice in his tone.
The boy bowed his head, then looked to his mother as he tugged on his undone tie, “I need help.”
She motioned to the chair and the boy climbed up on it. “Watch me so you learn.” The boy’s eyes followed Echalotte’s slow even motions as she knotted the tie carefully. “There. Do not get dirty. The party is starting soon. Tell your Uncle that Grandfather is here.”
The boy nodded and dashed out of the room.
“You taught him?”
“Both tongues, of course, and I made an archive. The language will live on and anything else I can find. I’m going to be traveling after tonight’s announcement.”
“Announcement?”
“The party is to honor Mother, but I’m turning over my ownership of the company to Trunks. He’s always been like her then I was and he loves Caps Corp, even if he won’t admit it.” She slipped into the bathroom and he stepped back out onto the balcony.
He stared up at the stars and sighed heavily as he stretched out to feel all of the chaos on the grounds. Trunks was with Mai and all of their children and he was happy. Both of his children were happy and his grandchildren were powerful and had potential. She would have been so proud of them, no, she would have been vibrantly and obnoxiously elated to see how they’d grown up. She would have thrown a thousand ‘I-told-you-so’s about her parenting triumphs at him and he would have endured every one with hidden joy. What he wouldn’t give to hear her voice, smell her, just be in her presence again…
There was an ache that he’d never been able to shake since her death ten years ago. He just needed to see his family again, before he…
“Have you decided which star already?” If she hadn’t been the image of her mother before she certainly was now in the red dress she was wearing.
He felt a pain in his chest, he hadn’t wanted either of his children to know what he was planning, but he didn’t lie to them. He silently pointed.
His daughter let a low laugh pass through her painted lips, “It’s in the constellation for her zodiac. I can hear her now: I musta been too hot for ya, Babe.”
He allowed himself to chuckle, because she would have laughed and she would have said something like that. “Are you going to tell your brother?”
“No. It’s your choice. He’d try to stop you, it would be a fight, and then there would be nothing in these last memories but regrets.” She laid her hand on his arm. “Go change. Come with me to the party tonight. See your children and grandchildren shine. Hear her be honored. Then when you say goodbye no one will even flinch.”
He agreed and stepped into the room that he shared with her or so, so many years. He normally avoided it, but this was more like a goodbye than a visit. He found a suit that she’d forced him to wear and it still fit, slightly looser – he didn’t eat as well as he used to. He glanced at the pictures on the wall, no dust, but it looked as if nothing was touched like she could sweep in at any moment and tease him about his crooked tie. He straightened it as he noticed the pair of dark eyes watching him from the doorway.
“Come here, Reign.” He beckoned the boy. When his grandson got to him, Vegeta laid a hand on the boy’s shoulder. “Make sure you always good take care of your mother. Be true to your clan.”
The boy nodded.
“Good. Now I should meet your new cousins.”
The party was everything he would have hated and he would have grumbled to her all night about being miserable. Tonight he simply and quietly watched everything unfold. He saw his son as a strong and capable business owner, but still sharp physically as Trunks had no trouble wrangling all four of his children and kept a close eye on Mai. They were happy, properly bonded mates: supportive but still challenging each other. His grandchildren: four boys and one girl, who had Trunks wrapped around her tiny finger already…He wished she could have seen them. She would have loved them. Could she see them? Maybe she could where she was on the other side.
He stayed until the party was over and the family was left alone on the lawn under the tent. Mai looked tired as she rocked the youngest boy, while Trunks held the little girl. The other children were starting to get sleepy when Reign asked Echalotte to sing to them. The song was low and sad about wanderer looking for his place in the world. He simply sat in the space with them, relishing the last moments he would ever get with them. There would be no reunions for him in the afterlife. There were too many dark stains in his past.
“Okay, well, we should get the rugrats to bed. Guys, say goodnight to your Aunt Bulla and your Grandfather.” Trunks rustled up the kids and they bid their ‘goodnights.’
“I can take them. Sit.” Mai waved him off and their oldest took the little girl from Trunks. “Always nice to see you, Vegeta.”
He nodded as she passed him with her children in tow. The three sat in silence for a long spell as Reign snored in the chair he’d fallen unconscious in.
“When did you fall in love with her?” Echalotte asked barely above a whisper.
“Bulla.” Trunk snipped, no doubt agitated that she was going to ruin the good mood they were all in with that question.
Normally, he would have reacted badly, even scoffed at the idea of rehashing the past, but not tonight. “It was after Cell.”
“There goes my fairytale backstory.” Trunk dared to joke.
“Quiet boy, you already knew I didn’t love her when you were conceived. It was weakness on my part and stupidity on hers. Why she ever…” His voice held none of his normal bite, but he folded his arms over his chest. “You were not a mistake. But she knew that long before I did. I was foolish and selfish when she told me. We were too stubborn and had no intention of changing for each other. After Cell was defeated; I was lost, but I wanted better for you then what that boy from the future had. She allowed me to be near you. You were the reason that I stayed and ultimately why I saw her as something other than a distraction, but…” He closed his eyes.
“You don’t…” Trunk started to interrupt.
“I’ll continue if I wish. Hold your tongue.”
His daughter chuckled.
“I realized I cared for you both and it was unnerving, unsettling, and I thought it made me weak. That’s why I surrendered myself to evil again. It was a mistake. One that I couldn’t believe that your mother ever forgave me for…she shouldn’t have.”
“She knew what you sacrificed for her and for me.” His son reminded him.
“It was pointless.”
“Not to us.”
Vegeta made an agreeable sound. “I didn’t show it often, but I did love her.”
“We know that.” His daughter assured him. “She never doubted it.”
A pair of cries rang out from the quiet of the house. “That's my cue, if I want to sleep in my own bed.” Trunk scrambled up and started towards the house.
As Trunks passed by him, Vegeta caught his eye, “I am proud of you, my son. Know that.”
The lavender haired man looked surprised but managed to respond evenly. “Thanks, Dad. That means a lot.”
Vegeta snorted and looked away, he couldn’t say anything more without it seeming suspicious.
Echalotte stood up and scooped up her son. “Walk with me, please.” He nodded and followed her up the stairs, watching her tuck in her sleeping child.
They walked back onto the balcony of her room and he caught the scent of tears in the air. “I’m sorry.” She cleared her throat. “I’m trying to grieve like you’d want, but I think my human side is going to get the better of me. It’s all I can do to control my ki so Trunks doesn’t figure it out.” She leaned her shoulder against his for a moment, before moving away quickly.
He stepped back into her space and caught her face in his hands, “You are a good daughter. A blessing.”
She nodded and allowed him to wipe the tears from her cheeks. “No matter where you are sent in the beyond… I love you and that…That love travels with you. You are a warrior of the greatest strength and nobility.”
He kissed her forehead and left her on the balcony, hearing her controlled her sobs. He changed into the armor, the armor she’d made for him. He would die a warrior, not let age take him. He took off from the compound and glanced back and caught sight of Trunks on his balcony with one of the babies and heard Echalotte shakily singing a ballad that he’d taught her. He raised his fist and took off towards his destination.
.:.
The heat and the pain were long forgotten by the time he stood in front of the desk to learn what his fate would be.
The King shook his head. “You just can’t die without destroying yourself can you?”
Vegeta shrugged.
“I had a special place in Hell set-up for you.” The glorified paper pusher held up a small book, “All the crimes you committed…I made a separate book for you. I looked forward to reading it to you. All of the lives you took, the planets you destroyed, the cultures you ended, and the people you hurt…But it appears as though someone changed your fate.”
“What?” He was genuinely confused.
A mirror appeared to the left of the King and he explained. “Someone wished another fate for you.”
The image in the mirror was the dragon Shenron looming over his daughter. “What you ask is no easy feat and I’m inclined not to grant it.”
“It is my wish and you will…”
“Foolish daughter of a fallen, bloodstained prince of a lost people, you dare question me?!? Why should I bestow any grace to that warmonger?” The dragon snarled his voice booming, lightning illuminating the sky.
Echalotte narrowed her eyes, daring to rebuke the Eternal Dragon, instead of cowering. "Because he was not that man when he died. He was hero to the earth, to the universe, and to me! He was a good father and loving husband. He deserves to rest in peace with my mother. I want you to wipe the sins away from his soul so that he can be with my mother again. It’s the only place he ever found peace. It’s what he deserves! And you will grant this wish!"
Vegeta clenched his fists. What was that crazy girl doing? Was this happening now? Had it already happened?
The dragon growled, its tail lashing furiously, “Arrogant child! You are unwise to make such a wish then speak to me this way. If I so choose I could grant your wish by painting those sins on your soul. Condemn you to his true fate.”
She smiled fearlessly, “So do it. I would gladly bear it.”
That stupid girl! NO! You idiotic half-human whelp, too much pride like her…like her Saiyan father. Vegeta dropped to his knees. He could bear his sins, not... His fate should not befall her. NO! How…How could she….
The dragon was quiet for a long moment, “I will grant this wish without staining your soul, but I best not see you again haughty girl.”
“You will not.”
Vegeta pulled himself up onto his feet, drawing in nonexistent air that he no longer needed. She was safe. Too much like him and too much like her mother. It was a wonder that she hadn’t caused his death instead of that star.
“Your wish has been granted.” The orange light permeated the area and the dragon balls zipped away as the sky cleared.
“Did we save grandfather?” A younger Reign asked his mother as he looked up from where he’d been sitting at her feet.
She gathered him up in her arms."We did, but that’s our secret.”
“Grandfather was a prince?"
“He was a king, my son. Your grandfather was the last great king of the Saiyan race. And I will tell you all the stories about how he saved the world.”
“All abridged versions where he’s the hero instead of Goku?” Trunks called out as he approached. “Bulla, I can’t believe how reckless…I mean, I didn’t gather the dragon balls with you just to watch you condemn yours…”
“Quiet Princess Trunks, no whining when celebrating victory!” Echalotte barked, but her smile was her mother's delighted and triumphant grin and Reigned giggled.
“Not funny, Sis, really not funny.”
The imaged melted from the mirror and the mirror vanished.
They had…his children had saved him...He didn’t know how to feel about the situation. How to fathom it. They had known somehow that he was planning his death. They had prepared for it, but surely it couldn’t be that simple. Those sins couldn’t just vanish.
The King held up the small black book and black ink dripping out of it making a pool on the floor. “You see, you have a different fate awaiting you.” A door appeared to his left where the mirror had been, “Go.”
Vegeta had never been one to fear, but this…He gripped the handle his hand shaking. The white light on the other side blinded him for a moment as he dared to take that first step…
.

“You jerk, you kept me waiting….Oh, I’m just kidding, shesh. Welcome home, my brave Prince.”

Chloe’s Apartment - Maze & Trixie (There is all a Trixe-Lucifer scene)
Precinct - Dan, Lucifer and Ella. -Before the bracelets-
Pink Motel - Not a murder scene but I believe they question the owner as he is listed in the cast.
Warner Brothers Stars Hallow Set Area - Open Stages:
1) The Murder Scene - Dan, Ella, Lucifer & Chloe
2) Stage III - The room with the clowns. Prior to Halloween WB had built a clown maze for tourists and its workers although they didn’t the usual annual Halloween attraction but it was not the same one. However, I believe it may have been used for this episode nonetheless.
3) Stage Set - Hell set used as a Tv Series Prop although it acts as our actual Hell as well.
When an episode is shot at the lot it means it costs less money to be made still what it saved them on money it cost them on 1-2 days.
This episode is called from us “Diablo: The Tv Series Episode” and we call it that because that’s what it is. There is no AU here but something like 3x02 where you see our leads investigating a case which is related to a show. Now that show is VERY similar to Lucifer. Extremely so but we will talk about that in a bit.
First of all the main themes of this episode is Lucifer’s ongoing instability but also a problem that seems to tie him eventually to Dan. Dan’s issue in my opinion started either in the first episode but is gradually getting worse so in 5x03 Lucifer provides a temporary solution. But is that him or Amenadiel? As we know Chloe and Amenadiel work together for a bit in this episode.
As always in order to unravel this episode we will rely on the case of the week. Where does the murder takes place? At the WB lot actually, so be prepared to see it again like you did back in 3x26 yet that is a different area.
^Aimee on the left
They also shot at night at Stars Hallow Set.
We have some photos from Josh with Aimee and Kevin where you can clearly see that Dan does not wear the bracelet yet. Same goes with Lucifer’s bracelet at the beginning of the episode neither of them wears it and that makes sense.
Let’s talk now about the victim and the theme of the episode again. For some reason the murder is connected to a television show called ‘Diablo’. We know that because there are several hints and downright spoilers about that like the social media posts of some people which will not be posted for obvious reasons.
Diablo as a show has EVERYTHING Lucifer’s life has. Scratch that everything Lucifer as a show had in its first season down right to the… same poster. Yep!
So when I say everything what do I mean? I mean that there are the following characters who take the place of our main leads:
Lucifer = Diablo
Chloe Dacker = Detective Dancer
Maze = Blaze (male)
Dan Espinoza aka Det. Douche = Det. Dooffus
We do not know who else is featured but I would expect Linda, perhaps Trixie and Amenadiel to have their own counterparts.
^ Dancer was originally Chloe’s surname in the Kapinos Pilot do not be surprised is you see Linda being played by a Kim...
Yet who would do that? Who would make a Tv Show that resembles so much Lucifer’s life? My first thought was Ella but then I found a BTS about an Alex Lopez and I assumed he was one of her brothers taking advantage of her workalike stories. Although that may be true then how could anyone know how the actual Hell looks like?
One day I got a glimpse of a woman which I think was Inbar on set. Additionally, at that time, Inbar Lavi posted a few S4 photos which seemed a bit peculiar. Therefore if Inbar was on set and is the person who made the tv series Diablo we are in for a hoot!
If that happens it means that Eve has found her way and she might eventually find her way back to Maze’s life in P2. Of course, that’s a speculation but we can always hope!
The next question is why would our writers do that to Lucifer? Why would they put him through an experience that shows him his work and partnership so obviously to him through a series like Diablo? As we know Lucifer is a bit thick sometimes so for all the characters it would be nice to acknowledge certain dynamics as seen from a show that is, of course, a caricature of the actual actors.
I mean Diablo has frozen tips, Det. Doofus looks downright clueless and Blaze… Blaze is the equivalent of Maze but big… Congrats Eve! If that was you, of course, you made Maze looking butch!
So in that episode, Lucifer needs to come face to face with the facade of his life in Hell but also on Earth and I believe it’s time for him for another breakthrough. The same goes for the rest of the leads.
I stand by the opinion I posted on Twitter that 5x03 as far as I see it is a wake-up call that no matter for how long you keep a costume & a mask on that's not who you are. It's also a point where Lucifer's work & partnership may finally be unveiled for what they truly are. All that while they search for a solution. Yet for what solution do I talk about?
Something is wrong with Dan perhaps even Lucifer but I do believe the origin of the problem is Dan due to Lucifer’s actions back in 5x01. If I had to guess I would say that they need a way to make sure Dan is kept alive that a life source is sustained and that requires a link which I suppose is the bracelet. But that it’s just a temporary solution, the permanent one will come in 5x08 and will have its own consequences!
In any case we do have Lucifer and Chloe going to the Pink Motel for some questioning but then… then it seems like Lucifer disappears for a bit. If my speculation is correct during his recovery the events of 5x04 will happen but that will be explored in the next S&S!
The Pink Hotel is considered a landmark btw.
Let’s say now that half of the episode is almost gone perhaps less, 15 min? And we have Lucifer out of commission or perhaps they search with Dan for what they need. That leads to two different groups working and I do not mean that it will be necessary on the case.
^LUX as Hell it even has poles...
*cough* priest collard male strippers*
On one hand, you have Lucifer and Dan. When Kelly Clarkson visited the penthouse aside from several cool parts of that episode like LUX that is now called HELL in the Diablo series we also had a glimpse of a book…
A book? Again? You may lament like Mum at the end of 2x17. Well yes, a book… an ancient book which it may or may not be related to this episode although I will speculate that it is. For me, that book reminded me the Book of Destiny…
In order to understand what that means I have put some strips from the comics here for you. Lucifer and that book or to put it right Destiny, one of the Endless have had a disagreement about that book before but it didn’t work out that well…
The Book of Destiny as Sandman’s and Lucifer’s comics inform us:
“It contains your life. Every detail of your life. Everything that has happened to you. Everything that will happen one day. The things you have forgotten (ALERT on that one). The things you do not believe.”
Yet the writers have never used a source from the comics without altering it so beware of that. It may be something that is based on that book or carries certain attributes of it.
So let’s assume that that book helps them create the bracelets and thus Dan remains alive for the time being. Also, does that mean that Dan will be exposed to the Devilish truth? If this speculation is correct I do not see how he can avoid it. At the same time learning all about Mom and most importantly Charlotte will do him A LOT of good. Yes, he has been healing in his own terms but whoever has lost someone knows that the pain never goes away it always nags you so I think it will make that pain a bit duller.
^Do not forget that Dan’s office area is full of motivation quotes... Do not be surprised if he is in therapy again in s5...
While Lucifer and Dan are preoccupied we have Chloe and Amenadiel working together I believe somewhat on the case or trying to help Dan. Who knows it might even be Eve - again IF she appears in that episode - who will give the temporary solution they need.
What intrigues me in DB’s photo from that episode is the official one that was released at ET where he is in front of a clown. It looks like a weird scary place, a theme park perhaps or even a set…
We do know that there were two crews and that scenes of the Diablo episode were requiring two crews, I mean would you let an actor near your 40K camera? Nope!
So the circus/clown scene is what interests me most as I have no idea what is going on there… What I do know is that it corresponds with Ella’s shirt. Ella’s shirt has a clown on and it says ‘Big Clown’ and something other underneath yet on the murder scene she wears a light blue shirt.
Additional Info
We have a Scene at the Penthouse which may be connected with the scene of Maze and Trixie at the Decker Household. However! Scarlett almost always shoots more than one episode so it is possible that it might be connected to 5x04. Still we take it as if it is for 5x03.
There is a fight scene with Maze and Lucifer against some people. Still, Ellis’ stuntman also filled in for a different role this time so that might have been for the Diablo show.
Finally, we did have Linda on set and there was a photo from within her house. Scenes from Linda’s house or her office during her sessions with Lucifer are rare so most of the time we do not know they are happening.
A background extra who played a police officer in this episode made it to an actor with lines. Of course now we know that she will have that role up to 5x08 yet we do not know if she will survive the serial killer ordeal of the last two episodes of S5 Part 1…
Additional bts of that episode including the Kelly Clarkson photos etc.
^Did you see Marcus’ honourary tablet?
^And of course the mermaid is back at her rightful place. It was there also in S4 but appeared only at a bts with Inbar. :)

“ oh, darlin’. ” darby shakes her head and clucks her tongue. “ don’t make me use this stick on something other than the puck. ”
or, alternatively : ‘tis i, linc, back at it with my second !! say hello to darby belle montpellier, varsity womens’ hockey team captain & songwriter/frontwoman of west ham’s own folk-soul band, pelagia. !! hit that read more to learn more about this southern belle .
[ d a r b y b e l l e –– M A N I C P I X I E D R E A M G I R L .
✔ ┊❝ ( natalia dyer. 18. she/her &. cisfemale ) rumor around town is that darby belle montpellier was on one of the buses that left for the field trip. they’re the eighteen year old that resides in new ham. over the summer news spread that she prayed to make a deal with the devil to bring her mother and father back to life, but suspects something may have gone amiss when laying out the terms, but who knows if that’s true or not? what we do know is that their friends describe them as saccharine & virtuosic, but who knows when they’re known to be diaphanous & dewy-eyed from time to time.
( &&. general information )
full name: darby belle rose montpellier
nickname(s) or alias: darby belle, darby, dee, belle, db ( by her teammates ), puck ( by her late father only )
preferred name: darby belle. belle’s not a middle name; it’s part of her first! but she won’t correct you! darby’ll do just fine.
current age: eighteen
astrological sign: pisces
gender: cisfemale
preferred pronouns: she/her
sexual preference: bisexual
romantic preference: biromantic
home environment: a modest two-story condominium, owned by her older sister, elody mae. they’ve lived in the same condo since moving to west ham in the summer of 2014, following their father’s untimely passing. they originally hail from small-town tennessee, so their condo took a while to acquire the typical connecticut aesthetic. darby belle’s hockey and speed skating trophies are displayed proudly in the front foyer. their kitchen displays elody mae’s art, and features lots of succulents and small-scale flowers. darby’s room doubles as a music space, so her guitar, banjo, and piano line the far wall. a secondhand drumset sits in the corner for when her band convenes there, or when she goes ahead to demo entire songs herself.
current occupation: student, student athlete, musician.
language(s) spoken: english, enough spanish to get by ( acquired from high school classes, but her southern accent kinda bleeds through? so kids in class always kinda smirk when she tries out the speaking exercises ).
native language: english.
current relationship status: happily in a long term relationship with clark, @wildguard .
( &&. background )
reason behind name: darby belle was named after a beloved family dog who was tragically killed by an automobile the night before she was born. how... quaint. her mother insisted on adding “belle” to match her older sister, elody mae’s, “name flow”. her father never really approved, but he his second army deployment began just before her birth, so her mother went ahead and did it anyway.
birth order: second ( and youngest ). her older sister and current guardian, elody mae, was born 7 years prior.
ethnicity: american. the montpellier family had strong roots in small-town jonesborough, tennessee. people always speculate there’s some french in their bloodline, way back, but they don’t speak it now.
nationality: american.
religion ( tw: death, suicide ): it’s complicated. she was raised christian. went to weekly sermons. sang in the church choir. but after her mother died in the housefire that nearly wiped out the entire family when darby was 6, she began to... question. if god were real, why would he let bad things happen to good people? her father returned from afghanistan in 2007 and seeing him struggle with ptsd despite her persistent prayer contributed to her doubt. he took his own life in march 2014, the day before darby’s 13th birthday. from that point on, her view on religion became pretty tumultuous. believing there’s nothing out there makes her anxious. but believing in a higher power makes her angry. she still struggles to reconcile her relationship with god, and wonders if she’ll ever be able to. moving to west ham offered a new start, and she’d always yearned to get out of jonesborough –– she just never thought losing her father would wind up being the way so-called-god would choose to make it happen.
political views: fairly moderate. can agree with liberals and conservatives on different issues, but mainly toes the midline. maybe a bit more left than right. she’s... not that keen on discussing all of that stuff. she never got to come out to her mother or her father, so it’s all very... touchy.
financial status: comfortable, but by no means as affluent as the rest of west ham. she and her sister live off of their inheritance and their father’s life insurance policy. but elody mae is intent on using it as minimally as possible, so they live modestly. their condo is adorable, and offers just enough space for the two of them, plus occasional guests. they eat well, but smart. elody mae’s income as a local commissioned artist and interior decorator isn’t colossal, but it’s enough to avoid skimming much from the inheritance. that’s the only money they’ve got for darby’s college. but she’s fielding several hockey scholarship offers, so hopefully tuition won’t even be an issue.
hometown: jonesborough, tennessee. yes, she has the accent. you don’t have to tell her it’s adorable –– she already knows.
level of education: high school senior. darby does well in school. she’s no ap student, but she’s got brain cells and knows how to use ‘em. she often chooses to forego studying to create new music, and between pelagia. & the varsity girls hockey team, she doesn’t have much spare time for homework. she’s in a lot of teachers’ good graces, so they let it slide, for the most part. this past year, her grades have slipped a bit –– she’s just got other priorities. catch her drawing music staffs and notes in her biology notes instead of copying down cell structures. scribbling lyrics in the margins of her in-class essays. she’s a dreamer.
( &&. physical appearance )
looks like (or face claim, if applicable): natalia dyer. for now, with mid-length brown, curly hair. i’d like there to be a point where she impulse decides to cut and dye it platinum blonde... so maybe we could plot that out, somehow. like a brittany 2007 moment. a nervous break.
height: 5′0. she’s tiny. nobody expected her to be the rumored hockey legend transferring to west ham high her freshman year. but there she was, a zippy right wing on the ice. her speed’s uncanny. her agility’s surreal.
weight: 108 lbs. fuckin’ protect her.
shoe size: 6
figure/build: very, very thin. surprisingly muscular, though. not built like a typical hockey player but boy, does she command the ice. her strength, like... bewilders everyone. recruiters came to see her play this spring and fuckin’ lost their shit. this girl ?! captain ?! right wing ?! does she disintegrate when she’s checked ?!?!
hair colour: light brown.
hair length: down to her shoulders. curly.
eye colour: aqua blue.
glasses?: no, but she does own zenni optical glasses for the computer.
skin tone: light, some faint freckles that intensify with sun exposure.
tattoos: none. she’s gotten into actual fist fights on the ice before. but needles? scary stuff. she’ll pass.
piercings: she has her ears pierced, but rarely wears earrings, since they’re prohibited on the ice.
birthmarks/scars/distinguishing marks: some burn scars from the housefire that killed her mom in 2007, on the back of her left forearm/wrist and across her stomach. she’s really insecure about them and almost always wears long sleeves because of it. she also has a birthmark shaped like canada on the arch of her left foot. when they were alive and darby was very young, her parents used to joke that god put that mark there because he knew their daughter was going to be a hockey star.
dominant hand: right-handed, hence she plays right wing. but she prefers to cut food with her left.
if painted, what color are their nails?: she keeps her nails very short, and they’re usually painted neutral shades: gray, pink, nude. she’s recently gotten into a forest green phase.
usual style of clothing: long sleeve sweaters, jeans, vans. graphic long-sleeve tees –– she really likes the nature designs on patagonia ones, or cool/eclectic designs. converse. timberlands, leggings, and oversized sweatshirts. denim jackets. in the winter, she’s always bundled up because she runs cold. honestly? she’d sooner wear a hoodie and shorts in the summer than throw on a t-shirt. she does wear short sleeves, but mainly for team workouts and runs.
frequently worn jewelry: she wears her father’s wedding band around her neck on a thin gold chain, always tucked under whatever top she’s wearing. her sister does the same with her mother’s.
describe their voice, what accent?: she’s got a very soft voice. light tennessee accent. when she sings, it’s got this delicious rasp and rawness to it. i’ll post a spotify playlist soon with the vibe –– but think molly burch, tomtsu, julien baker, mothers, angel olsen, and you’re on the right track.
what is their speaking style (fast, monotone, loquacious)?: darby’s laugh sounds kind of like breeze-rustled leaves and cotton-candied skies: light, melodic, buoyant. she speaks quietly, for the most part, but that shouldn’t be mistaken for complacency. she speaks slow, deliberate. her words matter. she’ll speak quicker when she’s mid-laugh, or when she’s intoxicated. when she’s angry, she’s more likely to bite her tongue and stare. her doe-eyes speak leagues. on the ice, her dialogue’s punchy, gutteral. she calls out plays and opposing teams are flabbergasted that such a strong sound can come out of such a small frame.
describe their scent: vanilla, lavender, eucalyptus. she dabs a few drops of essential oils on instead of perfume. she’ll really only wear a marketed fragrance after practice or games –– and then it’s dolce & gabbana, light blue.
describe their posture: darby holds herself with a silencing kind of grace –– she glides through rooms. her chest is always open, collarbones broad. she has a great deal of strength in her legs and in her stride, but the way she carries herself resonates more like a dancer or figure skater than a hockey player. on the ice, she’s all forward momentum and down-striked strides, whipping around and coming at opponents with a vengeance.
( &&. legal information )
any speeding tickets?: no, she never got her license! her sister will typically drop and pick her up from events, or she’ll carpool. in terms of arriving for the trip, she walked across town, since they got into an argument about the letters her father left –– elody mae had them locked away in a bank safebox, and hasn’t let her younger sister read them.
have they ever been arrested?: no. honestly, could anyone arrest this sweet cupcake? her bandmates have gotten busted for shoplifting snacks high before, but darby’s always been able to sweet-talk them out of punishment. too bad they’re not around to steal her pretzel sticks now. not that stealing is necessarily still a crime...
do they have a criminal record?: no. squeaky clean. she respects authority, almost too much. so this new ham situation... it’s going to throw her for a loop.
have they committed any violent crimes?: not if you don’t count breaking an amherst high girl’s nose during a fist fight on the ice. she called one of her teammates something terrible, so... the bitch had it comin’.
property crimes?: no.
traffic crimes?: no opportunity to! unless west ham suddenly persecutes for jaywalking down empty roads in the wee horus of the morning.
other crimes?: not yet.
( &&. medical information )
blood type: b positive.
date/time of birth: march 18. 1:42pm. the only labor nurse on duty had to put down her bologna sandwich to assist in the birth. on a potato roll! she complimented darby’s mother at the end: “congrats on the bologna. i mean –– baby.”
place of birth: franklin woods community hospital, jonesborough, tennessee.
vaginal birth or cesauren section?: vaginal birth.
sex: female
smoker? / drinker? / drug user?: no / yes / pain pills. more than she should. shhhhh.
addictions: pretzel sticks. she’s gone days without real meals because she’s just been munchin’ on those things.
allergies: strawberries. peanuts. bees. good luck surviving in new ham, gurl. hope no one poisons ya!
ever broken a bone?: her left clavicle in pee wee hockey, 2005. fractured wrist from getting checked, 2009. right ankle, mid-game pileup, 2015 –– still scored, though! three broken ribs from a particularly gnarly check ( three girls v. one ), 2018.
any physical ailments/illnesses/disabilities: insomnia, since her mother’s death. worsened with her father’s passing. i imagine it’ll get worse with her sister disappearing, too. her mild dependency on painkillers.
any medication regularly taken: leftover meds from her injuries. it started with the pills she found in her dad’s medicine cabinet, after his passing. it’s not... bad. yet. it’s harmless.
( &&. personality )
direct quote from them: UNO. DOS ( her chillin’ with her athlete broskis. ) TRES ( her babysitting ) . “ honey, you got a big storm comin’. ”
positive traits: tenderhearted, saccharine, strong-willed, musically inclined.
negative traits: diaphanous, dewy-eyed, easily manipulated ( somebody break her ).
likes: underdog succulents: the ugly ones people tend to walk past. late nights spent mixing new tunes. singing along to the radio, rewriting top 40 songs to sound more interesting. performing at small local gigs with pelagia. ; the cacophonous beauty of each soundcheck before doors open. the scrape of metal on freshly smoothed ice. the feel of her favorite hockey stick in her hands. taped fingers. narrowed eyes. confused gasps as she whizzes past bigger players, barely detected. pulling long sweater sleeves over her hands. finger-picking her acoustic guitar. clark beecher. singing stevie nix in the shower obnoxiously loud, just to aggravate her sister. coconut macarons, fresh from the oven. pretzel sticks. blue gatorade. toe-tapping in the locker room between periods, to her pumped up playlist. texting silly pickup lines to her friends. trading cute little jingles for rides around town. petrichor. sunflowers. bees ( from a distance ). worms, insects, dirt. she loves cupping her hands around beetles and showing them around the place like they might stay a while.
dislikes: being cold. birds. crows, specifically –– they ripped a bag of pretzels right out of her hands, once. unsweetened coffee. sore losers. waking up, and the momentary serenity before her life story locks back into place. the smell of smoke. fires. paying $20/month for her father’s inactive cell line –– they have yet to deactivate it. knowing that the last thing she ever said texted him was, “ can you bring a gatorade to the game tomorrow? yellow kind. thx. ” thx. text talk. :-) . smiley faces with noses: only her dad was allowed to use that kind. drew barrymore. short sleeves. high heels. remembering.
strengths: darby belle has the capacity to be compassionate toward anyone. almost to a fault; it’s been exploited before and i doubt those times’ll be the last. great texter. she can channel such wild doses of emotion into her music –– take away the lyrics and you’ve still got such magic. add the words back in, and it’ll do an even better job of wreckin’ ya. she manages to befriend a wide variety of people: because of her band, she’s mixed up with some eclectic folks. her role as varsity captain makes her accessible for most of the school’s athletes. i like to think she’s down with the bros? isn’t afraid to play-fight, mess about. despite all she’s been through, this girl’s got a real knack for life.
weaknesses: yearns for stability, but the world’s kind of delivered that a bit late. prone to rampant reminiscence. sells her soul to her passions, so other obligations fall to the wayside. still can’t figure out snapchat. will defend her teammates ‘til the cows come home, and that’s gotten her injured on the ice before. kind of cultivating a dependence on painkillers. can’t hide when she’s teary-eyed. can’t hide emotions at all. when she falls in love, she falls h a r d . and when others feel something for her, she often lacks the ability to see it. short-tempered with her sister. lets anxieties fester and build up until she lashes out at someone ( usually her sister ) . stutters when angry, sometimes, so will often avoid the issue or just stay silent about it. prone to heartbreak.
insecurities: what if she could have done something to save her mom? her dad? what if this is all some kind of punishment for her religious doubts? is god laughing down at her? does he even exist? maybe we’re all just living on borrowed time.
fears/phobias: snakes. being stung by a bee. never being loved / never having the wherewithal to find it. not getting a hockey scholarship. emptying the medicine cabinet. not being able to call her dad’s cell to hear his voice. losing elody mae. losing everyone.
habits: tapping her fingers on flat surfaces. skipping meals when she’s stressed. texting thumbs-up emojis to avoid having to give an actual answer to “ how are you? ” . masking darker thoughts with game suggestions and silly jokes. deflection. wearing her father’s old army tees to bed, and sniffing them each time as if the laundered clothing might still hold onto even just a whiff of his cologne. falling for the wrong people. believing. letting her nail polish chip and chip and chip until all that’s left is a silhouette of pigment. biting her nails. midnight runs. pressing leaves into notebooks to capture moments for which she lacks the words. over-gifting outside her means, arguing with her sister about it later.
quirks: bites her bottom lip and rolls it between her teeth when she’s thinking. squints directly at the sun despite being scolded for it for years. latches on to friends’ arms as if the universe might tug them apart at any moment, and navigating the school parking lot is exhaustively complex –– like she might get lost; like she might lose them. calling instead of texting. sniffing peanut butter: she can’t eat it, but she loves how it smells. sleeping all curled up in a ball, on her left side, with the blankets tugged up tight against her chin. wearing beanies and baseball caps indoors. waking up early enough for church each sunday: getting dressed, beginning the walk across town, only to turn back halfway. running drills at the rink instead of attending lunch hour. jotting down lyrics on standardized tests. humming in school stairwells, when she thinks she’s alone. tapping her locker dial three times with her index finger before putting in her combo. wriggles her nose when she’s trying not to laugh. gaze always, always drifting to the nearest window. funky patterned socks. she has a pair with picasso.
hobbies: hockey. guitar, banjo, piano, drums. singing. songwriting. running, weightlifting. elody mae tried to get her into yoga, but her headspace is far too cluttered. making late-night ice cream runs to the local parlor, because she knows the owner and he’s always ready to give her a free scoop.
guilty pleasure: the chainsmokers. they’re shit songwriters, but their songs are vibey –– if you tell anyone she told you this, she’ll hit you with her hockey stick.
desires: to get out of west ham in one piece. to find some kind of meaning. to feel something more, or less, or different than what she feels now.
wishes: she could have told her parents who she really is. her father could have seen her bring the west ham womens’ hockey team to the regional finals four years in a row. she wishes she could apologize to her father for not being enough to make him stay.
secrets: she stole her father’s dog tags and told her sister he must have pitched ‘em. she keeps them under her pillow. she’s never felt a love as strong as her songs might suggest. she’s popping pain pills to cope with things besides hockey injuries.
turn ons: soft smiles. hand holding. shared gummy candies. someone who can watch hockey with her and not get bored. fake wrestling. dimples. silly face tournaments.

accessory: her father’s wedding band, secured around her kneck with a thin gold chain. or her hats: she loves beanies and baseball caps.
candle scent: she doesn’t fuck with candles. open flame. but eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint make for a great diffuser blend.
game: hockey. ( jk, y’all already knew that! ) she gets a kick out of go fish. really! and pick-up football.

holiday: new year’s eve. she loves getting to blow party kazoos in everyone’s faces.
weather: breezy, sunny mornings, when the dew’s still clinging to glistening blades of grass.
season: mid-spring, after the rain, but before the blossoms finish opening. it’s beautiful. and she doesn’t have to worry about bees.

anything they’re bad at?: meditating. lying. makeup –– she doesn’t really wear any.

email address: [email protected]
job: ice cream scooper. learn-to-skate instructor.

sexual experience: with lenny hawthorne a few weeks after the kiss with his twin sister, kitty. only, throughout the entire time, darby belle caught herself wishing the lips against hers were a bit softer, and still tasted like grape chapstick.
( &&. childhood )
best childhood memory?: it’s hard to pick one. she never really had a time in which both of parents were there with her, and choosing one? feels wrong. choosing any feels wrong. she likes when they were both alive. all of that time qualifies.
worst childhood memory? (tw: death, suicide) : 2007: waking up to the smell of smoke and a red-orange flickering light in the hallway. waking up in the hospital to the news her mother didn’t make it. 2014: returning home from the game her father was supposed to bring gatorade to. finding him in their living room, slumped on the floor.
what were they like as a child?: darby was always bright-eyed and sociable. she rarely began conversation, but she’d inititate the precursor to it, running up to strangers, beaming at other kids in the park. it took a while for her to learn how to be aggressive on the ice: she didn’t want to be mean! her mother facilitated most of that –– “ your daddy’s a soldier, darby belle, don’t you forget that. ”

hygienic or unhygienic?: hygenic.
open-minded or close-minded?: open, about most things.
introvert or extrovert?: extrovert, but prone to retreating into her thoughts.
optimistic or pessimistic?: optimistic, outwardly. sometimes it lapses to pessimism, but her natural disposition is peaceful –– so she can be angry and upset and unsettled, but eventually has to find some kind of way to mediate it.
daredevil or cautious?: cautious, to an extent. ( let’s change that. )
logical or emotional?: emotional.
generous or stingy?: generous.
polite or rude?: polite to most, even when undeserved. on the ice? she can be a menace.
book smart or street smart?: street smart. she’s not not book smart, but her intelligence is definitely channeled more through the game and through music.
popular or loner?: popular. darby’s a crowdpleaser. she ebbs and flows from sphere to sphere without much trouble. she fears being alone, and often prefers to have people around –– watch her struggle with having an empty home... yikes.
leader or follower?: leader. she’s hockey captain, after all. but she is quite impressionable, so others have a large impact on how she leads.
day or night person?: day. but she’s most creative at night.
cat or dog person?: dog person, 100%. won’t hate on cats, but dogs love more openly. and she was named after a beloved childhood pet of her mother’s, so... maybe there’s some kind of soul connection there.
closet door open or closed while sleeping?: c l o s e d . and barricaded.
( &&. social media )
do they have a facebook? twitter? instagram? vine? snapchat? tinder/grindr? tumblr? youtube? yes to all. briefly including tinder, at a hockey slumber party freshman year.

instagram user: officialdarbybelle
snapchat user: puckyouverymuch
( &&. musical tastes )
theme song: waiting for you –– tomtsu. ( but it’s also canon her song... yep i did that. )
makes them sad: our day will come –– amy winehouse. her mother used to cook to it in the background and serenade the ingredients. ave maria –– her father always used to beg her to sing it at christmas time, at their baby grand.
makes them dance: blame it on a dream –– vhs collection. it has vintage vibes. she can swivel her hips to this.
loves the most: old fashioned –– bruno major. it makes her cells thrum in the most delightful way.

are they a virgin?: no.
describe their signature: neat spirals. looks a lot like calligraphy.
how long would they survive in a zombie apocalypse?: she’d be the unlikely underdog to come out on top.

one place they would like to live: ontario. it looks so calm.
one place they would like to visit: los angeles. she feels like she’d fit right in. and their hockey mojo’s great right now.

what does your character eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner?: when elody mae cooks, darby eats well –– lots of pinterest recipes and plant-based meals. left to her own devices, she reverts to ease: poptarts, protein bars, almonds. sunflower butter and jam sandwiches. she typically skips lunch at school to write, or free skate, or sneak into the weight room with whatever team’s rented it out that period.
how does your character spend their free days?: jamming with her bandmates or on her own. playing gigs or open mics. going for long runs. hiking, in bee-free zones. goofing off with her pals, road tripping to random landmarks around connecticut. going on art supply runs with her sister, sometimes helping her set up her booth at the local farmers’ market on saturday mornings.

Missing out
Wow. Who knew pictures could push my emotions over the edge. from 0 to 100 eh?
I like seeing you happy. I like seeing you smile with your cute dimple and perfect smirk. I love that you are wearing my favorite color of shirt and that you do look better than ever. Perfect, actually.
I hate all of these things too. I hate that I still miss you... after all we have not talked for almost a year. I hate that I still remember that exact date we last messaged each other and I remember the exact day I could have last seen year. I hate that I remember all of these moments. I hate that I am missing out on your brother’s wedding and that I have to miss you smile. I would do anything to see you again... and I want to see you again. Am I just thinking about the ideal us though? We had issues, but I feel like we could work on them together. You made me happy and I took that for granted. I didn’t realize how much you really truly cared about me and I didn’t realize how much I cared about you too. Even though we have not talked for almost a year, I still care about you the same amount, if not more. I still love you and I would still do anything for you if you needed help or if you wanted to share your happiness with me.
I miss you. I suppose I really do miss you.
Honestly, I have been putting off DB for too long. I never post about him, partly because I feel like we will break up and partly because I know nick will see it and I don’t want him to feel bad. Ugh. DB is a really nice guy, but I just don’t see us together and working well. I am not excited for the future. Whenever I talk about kids or anything future related, it does not end very well. I don’t know what is up, but that is what I want. I want kids. I want a house. I want someone who will be there. I want a family. I want someone who respects me and I want someone I can share everything with without being judged. I want someone to mean the world to me and for me to mean the world to them. I don’t want to give up on that person again and I know that I made a mistake.
The grass really isn’t greener on the other side. DB and I have fun. He is adventurous and I get to experience things I never would have experienced and I am thankful for that. I just wish he acted differently and was more respectful. I don’t know. Maybe I will talk to him tmrw? I hate arguing with him, but I just think it has to be done. Maybe I will write more tmrw?
Here is a list of reasons why we should breakup:
respect. i hate that he just pushes my arm off or just abruptly pushes me.
immature. I have had issues with this from the beginning
following through. the card.
we can’t make plans together.
we just don’t love each other. it’s been a year and a bit and I don’t understand why i don’t love him.
i still think he has too many exes. kind of annoying.
he has weird quirks. like asking me to pay, burping like no tmrw. not letting me open cans, hitting me
why does he always think i want something in return. like when i offered to give him a massage...
why doesn’t he want to lotion me? or get me water?
why don’t i sacrifice things for him too?
yeah. if anything.... this relationship failed because of me not him. I am clearly not over nick and i don’t know if I will ever be.
X_X. i seriously..... ugh. do u ever get that feeling like you want to just accidently slip while rollerblading and fall into traffic and just die. I wish i never hurt you and i hate myself for hurting you and i just... feel...so...much...guilt. I am so sorry.
