Chapter Summary: Test Chambers 2: Now Featuring More Things That Kill You!

Chapter Warnings: Death Mentions, Sex Mentions, Death Threats, Robotic Body Horror

Travelling with Janus is surprisingly chill, at least to start. He mostly seems to sleep, or whatever it is he does when his light is off, and you mostly focus on solving the puzzle Remus sets in front of you.

Said puzzle is actually pretty tame for the most part, which is pleasantly surprising considering who exactly is making the current test chambers, but also fills you with consternation about just what Remus might be cooking up in the meantime. Because there’s no way he’s just sticking to- what’s that blue spirally thing you just used to float yourself upwards? An Excursion Funnel? Yeah, you think that’s what Remus said. There’s no way he’s stopping at something as tame as Excursion Funnels, or at least ones that don’t end in spike traps or something.

Then you see the next chamber, and yup, that’s about what you expected.

“What’s the matter?” Janus says, noticing you hesitating. “The way forward is perfectly simple.”

You honestly can’t tell if Janus really does think the puzzle is easy or if he’s doing that sarcastic double-speak he seems to like. You can see the clearly intended solution of the puzzle easily enough- you need to jump into that horizontal Excursion Funnel, then redirect it using portals at the right times in order to switch the direction it carries you and get yourself over to the cube dispenser. What makes it not-so-simple, however, is the fact that these careful maneuvers would have to take place while hanging in midair over a freaking bottomless pit.

“I’m just not crazy about the potential for falling to my death,” you say. “Unless I’d be able to land on my Long Fall Boots, I guess?”

“He probably filled the pit with spikes,” Janus says.

“Great,” you mutter, nervously fiddling with the portal gun.

A large, black rectangle on the wall resolves into an image of Remus, and belatedly you realize it’s some sort of display screen.

“Hey dorks!” he says, peering down at you. “What’s the hold up?”

“Just… figuring it out?” you say, unsure how to respond to your current captor actually holding a conversation with you.

��Well get going! I need my orgasm, it’s time to Get. It. On!

He does a little shimmy during the last bit, his long, flexible body wiggling back and forth, before the screen once again goes black.

“His-” you choke, and Janus sighs.

“That body- my body- has a built-in euphoric response to testing. It can be… difficult to acclimate to, particularly if you’re not used to it. I was perfectly fine, of course, but Remus has all the self-control of a lemming on LSD. We may be in a bit of trouble here.”

You furrow your brow, confused. “Why would Remus feeling good be dangerous to me? Don’t we want him to have a reason to keep us around?”

“You’re right, a human such as yourself is absolutely capable of fulfilling any and all demands necessary to accommodate an artificial intelligence who is literally addicted to the process of testing. You definitely don’t need to eat, or sleep, or take the occasional rest.”

“And once he gets bored with me…” you say, following the line of reasoning.

“He gets rid of you,” Janus confirms, “and likely me along with you. So let’s not do that, shall we?”

“We’ll call ‘not boring the out of control AI who wants to kill us’ Plan A,” you agree.

And that means actually doing the tests, instead of standing at the edge feeling scared. Staring down at the Excursion Funnel spiraling horizontally below you, you take a deep breath, then jump.

A few heart-stopping minutes later, you’ve successfully made your way over to the cube dispenser. Using portals you shift the Excursion Funnel so that it’s pointed upwards under the dispenser, then press the button. The dispenser drops a cube down into the abyss, and you wait patiently as the cube gently floats up to your level, buoyed by the spiraling Excursion Funnel.

Then the cube actually reaches your eye level, and you bite back a curse, stumbling backwards and falling on your butt.

Cackling sounds over the speakers as Remus once again appears on the tall screen. “Like my newest inventions, Tommy-boy? I made ’em just for you!”

“Why?” you groan, staring as the cube continues to rise, the two turrets that have somehow been fused into one of the cube’s sides chittering fearfully.

Remus laughs even harder. “It’s an improvement! I call it the Frankenturret: a true work of art.”

You shift the funnel away just long enough to let the- the Frankenturret, ugh, fall back down a ways before switching it back in order to lift the cube back up to your level. You gingerly reach out with the Portal Gun and grab the cube, before turning and practically running over to set it on the correct button.

You’re just congratulating yourself on another test solved when the turrets fused into the cube pop out legs and proceed to drag the cube forward and off the button, and okay what the fuck.

You shudder, then reach out and grab the Frankenturret again, watching it pull its legs back in as you do. You place it back on the button, this time upside down. You wait a moment, poised to grab it again, but the turret-cube seems to be staying in place.

You groan, practically falling back to sit on the floor. “That was a nightmare.”

“Oh, we’re just getting started,” Remus says gleefully, popping back onto the screen. “Chop, chop, Tommy-pastrami, on to the next one!”

Your body feels like one massive bruise, and for a moment you’re tempted to sit a while longer or even lie down, Remus or no Remus.

Then you remember Janus’ warning: And once he gets bored… he gets rid of you.

Bracing yourself, you force yourself to stand, legs shaking, and make your way into the elevator.

When you enter the next test chamber, you find yourself stopping and staring. Instead of the enclosed test chambers you’re used to, this chamber appears to be missing the better part of one wall, giving you a view out into the massive cavern this chamber is apparently hanging in. As you watch, another large test chamber glides slowly towards you on a massive version of the Cores’ movement rails, grinding loudly against the cavern wall as it does so. You realize after a moment that the other room is on a collision course with yours, and you are just reaching for the wall to try and steady yourself when the other room connects with yours with a crash that sends you stumbling to keep your balance. The sides of the walls crunch and bend with the force, making a horrible grating noise of metal on metal.

Finally, the noise and vibrations subside, leaving you in a room that’s twice as big as it previously was, and also considerably more beaten up.

“Remus!” Janus yells, his yellow light flickering back to life. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“Making a test chamber,” Remus says innocently. “I think it looks better now, don’t you?”

“The modular test chambers aren’t designed to be handled like that! You just broke equipment we have no way to replace!”

“Oh come on, Jan,” Remus says. “Who cares about some crummy old equipment when there’s testing to do? These chambers don’t just make themselves, you know!”

“This isn’t good,” Janus murmurs to you as you move forward to investigate the deep pit that the two halves of the chamber have formed. “He’s becoming more and more distracted from the well-being of this facility. There are functions that need to be maintained to keep the facility from undergoing complete destruction, and the longer he keeps this up the more likely he is to forget them entirely.”

It must be serious, if Janus isn’t even being sarcastic about the situation anymore. Mindful to not take too much time and risk boring Remus, you quickly redirect the chamber’s Excursion Funnel using a couple of portals, then use it to carry yourself across the newly created floor gap.

“How much time do we have?” you mutter as you press the dispenser button and get (oh joy) another Frankenturret.

“It depends on how far gone he is,” Janus says. “Days, if we’re lucky.”

You let out a breath. “Then it’s even more important to find a way to get out of here.”

Janus gasps melodramatically. “Of course, escaping! Why didn’t I think of that?”

“Yeah, yeah,” you say, rolling your eyes. “Just see what you can do, okay?”

The conversation comes to a lull as you finish up the level, using the Excursion Funnels to direct the cube back across the chasm, and in one heart-stopping moment, using a special panel to launch yourself into a Funnel’s path halfway across. You end the puzzle by floating the cube up and then sideways, pushing it into a button on the wall.

“Ah,” Remus moans as the cube presses the button inwards. “That’s… huh. That was kind of disappointing, actually.”

“Oh dear, it’s happening sooner than I expected,” Janus says as your blood turns to ice. After a moment he adds, “I’m sure we’ll be fine.”

You don’t call him on the lie.

“I’ve got some old friends for you to see!” Remus says gleefully as you enter the next test chamber. The first “old friend” becomes clear as you see white Conversion Gel dripping from a pipe in the ceiling, into a chasm. Because there’s no clear surface the gel is falling onto, there’s no way to use your old strategy of shooting a portal onto the puddle of gel and letting the new drips fall through one portal and get shot out of the other. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be any way of catching or redirecting the falling gel, not until you notice the familiar moving spiral of an Excursion Funnel.

You’re just using the Funnel to move the gel to where you want it when you hear a voice that you’re pretty sure at this point is going to echo in your nightmares:

There you are.

Instinctively, you drop and roll, putting a wall between yourself and the several turrets that begin shooting at you. You’re just preparing to sneak a look at them, and hopefully figure out how to take them down, when you hear the familiar “AaAaaAa” and frantic shooting that accompanies turrets being knocked over. How in the world-

“Of course when I finally find you, you’re getting shot at.”

You probably jump about a foot into the air, adrenaline already on high from the dangerous situation. You turn and smile at the source of the surprise.

“Virgil! You’re here!”

He gives a two-fingered salute. “Sup, Thomas.”

You look him over, looking for dents or missing pieces and finding none. “Are you okay? What’s been going on out there?”

“I’m fine,” Virgil says, rolling his eye. “Being a worrywart is my job, stop stealing my thing.”

“Sorry,” you say, grinning, “I’m just really happy to see a friendly face.”

“Sorry it took me so long to find you,” Virgil says.

You shake your hand. “No, I get it. Remus has been moving things around a lot, it must be really weird from the outside.”

“Remus,” Virgil hisses. “What has that bastard been doing to you?”

“Mostly just testing, at this point,” you say. “But Janus thinks we might be in more danger soon.”

“Janus?” Virgil shrills, looking around wildly. “Where is he?”

“Right here,” you say, nodding down at where he’s speared onto your Portal Gun, currently inert.

“The- the potato,” Virgil says dubiously.

“It’s a long story.”

Virgil closes his eye and shakes his center plates back and forth so hard you hear rattling. “Never mind, it’s not important. What the hell are you doing, carrying Janus of all people around with you?”

“He said he’d help,” you say defensively.

“And you believed him?”

You think now probably wouldn’t be the best time to bring up the deal you and Janus made. “He’s in trouble as much as I am, Virge. And he can’t really do much as a potato- if he even thinks too hard he’ll blow a circuit.”

Virgil looks at the potato with a narrowed eye. “You still can’t trust him.”

“I trust him to look out for himself. For right now, that works for both of us.”

“I’ll be careful, Virge,” you add when he continues to glare.

Virgil sighs and finally breaks your gaze. “All right. What do you need right now?”

Your heart gives a little squeeze of pride at the question; Virgil has grown so much from the snide, antisocial Core you first met.

“I’m okay for right now. Go find the others- I’m going to find a way to escape, and when I do we’ll need to be ready to face whatever comes next.”

“Okay,” Virgil says, “but you’d better not die. If you do I’ll get Remus to invest in figuring out how to reanimate the dead, just so I can kill you again. He’d do it, too.”

You chuckle at that. “All right. Same to you, Virgil. Take care of yourself.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Virgil mutters, but you know him well enough to hear the smile in his voice. “See you later, Thomas.”

For a moment you get a strong feeling of deja vu. You had a similar conversation with Virgil right before Janus tried to kill you, you realize. Hopefully, that’s not a bad sign.

You shove the thought back down and do your best to smile at your friend.

“See you later, Virge.”

The rest of the test chamber goes by without much issue, as do the next few after that. Remus combines turrets, gels (which he gleefully compares to various... other types of fluids), deadly lasers and Excavation Funnels over bottomless pits with the frenetic glee of a kid at a Christmas party, while you just buckle down and do your best to survive.

It’s when you’ve just started the fourth of these chambers that Janus’ light flickers back to life.

“I think I have a plan,” he says quietly. “I’ll do it when Remus reappears. I’ll just have to be careful- hopefully the amount of power I’m using here is low enough that this won’t get me, too.”

That’s concerning, but Janus’ light goes dark before you can ask any follow-up questions, and you’re too preoccupied with getting through this chamber to dedicate too much brain power to it.

The test involves getting onto a long platform, then redirecting a laser to power it so that it moves to where you need to go. You use the portals to make the laser hit the right sensor and are feeling the pride of a task well done when a grid of deadly lasers suddenly flashes to life, right in the path of your now-moving platform.

You scream, images of hitting the laser field and coming out in pieces entering your head, and frantically shoot a portal to a different location, disconnecting the laser powering your platform and making it stop just as the lasers reach the center of your platform. The laser grid itself disappears when the platform stops, and running on the adrenaline of your near miss you move past the point where the lasers were, then restart the movement and hop off at the appropriate spot.

As soon as your boots hit solid ground you fall to your knees, breathing hard, and focus on getting your heart to stop beating out of your chest. That was a close one- a second later and you would have been filleted. If you had any doubt Remus is trying to kill you, that laser grid got rid of them handedly.

You’re just finishing up the test, still feeling a bit shaky, when Remus reappears on the display screen. “Hey, you did it! And all in one piece, too. Disappointing, but there’s always next chamber.”

Janus’ light flickers back on. “Alright, here goes,” he mutters to you, then yells, “This! Sentence! Is! False! don’tthinkaboutitdon’tthinkaboutitdon’tthinkaboutit-”

“Oh-ho-ho!” Remus says, his body shuddering and wiggling before coming to a rest again. “That was great! Like sticking a fork in an outlet and licking it! Give me another one!”

Janus sputters. “That was a logical paradox! It was supposed to temporarily short your circuits!”

“Aw, Jan,” Remus says, “you of all people should know I’m not a creature of logic. Hey, what about this one: A barber shaves only and all people who don’t shave themselves. Does-”

“Nope, nope, not listening!” Janus shouts, his light turning back off.

Remus cackles. “Ah, that was fun. Anyways, make sure to complete this test quickly, now. I’ve got a little surprise for you in a few chambers- one I’m sure you’ll be just dying to see.”

The screen goes blank, and you look down to see the potato’s light flicker back on.

“Was he… trying to be subtle?” you say.

Janus snorts. “Remus doesn’t do subtle. We’ve got to get out of here before he makes good on it.”

On that, at least, you’re both in agreement.

“Three more chambers until your big surprise,” Remus sing-songs as you enter the next chamber. The chamber has a large ditch in the middle, with a cube bouncing up and down inside it. A launcher panel is positioned in the middle of your current platform, clearly intended for use in reaching the other side.

“We’re running out of time,” Janus says lowly as you approach the launcher panel, trying to eyeball the timing you’ll need to catch the cube. “I think I can break us out of here in the next chamber. Just play along."

You step onto the launcher panel, then cry out as, instead of launching you forwards like expected it sends you careening sideways, the test chamber’s wall folding open to let you through. An excursion funnel catches you mid-flight and begins moving you forwards.

“Surprise!” Remus says. “It’s happening now.”

You look down to see yourself hanging over empty air, the ground too far away to see. Wherever it is you’re going, you don’t seem to have much choice in the matter. So just like always, then.

“I’ve got to hand it to him,” Janus says. “For someone who usually says every little thing that enters his head, that was quite a clever deception.”

“Aw, you flatter me, snakey-pie.”

The excursion funnel pushes you into another launcher, which sends you hurtling sideways with a yelp from both you and Janus. Hurtling towards a small platform, surrounded by giant metal plates. All of which are covered in spikes and poised to slam forwards.

Yeah, this is gonna suck.

Back from being out of town SO: Cyberverse Season 2 episode 7, 8 and 9 watch!

SO MANY EPISODES CAME OUT WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN, THAT WAS SO CRUEL!!!!

Cyberverse 7!

MACCADAM!!!! OMG OMG HES FINALLY BACK

OH NO ITS THE MEGAOP BREAKUP SCENE 

oh nevermind, it’s just breakup scene #513214

I wonder what Megatron asked Optimus to do :O

Optimus: I just cant seem to make progress on these peace talks Maccadam: That sucks. Aren’t my drinks AWESOME? Optimus: yeah....

Aw Maccadam has such a cute smile. It’s really nice to see someone giving Optimus advice, usually he’s the designated dad of the group. Glad he has some support in this continuity!

OHOHO THEY’RE GONNA WORK TOGETHER TO BRING DOWN STARSCREAM

Man I frickin love it when Megatron and Optimus are forced to work together against a “greater evil”

Also: I love that Optimus is still so full of hope for that “one success” even though he’s failed so many times. Good characterization

I really love the animation style in Cyberverse. Also that Opening is STILL incredible, I can’t get enough of that (but oh Starscream, buddy, yellow is not your color)

Starscream, petting a Scraplet: Don’t you recognize her? This was the great Solus Prime! Slipstream: Can I PLEASE go home Starscream: Wait I’m not finished showing you my bug collection

“This is the noble Megatronus!” hrGHHH WHY DOES THAT MAKE MY HEART ACHE

The Seekers have only one brain cell and clearly Slipstream is the only one in possession of it

Soundwave: Together? That’s ridi— Megatron: *raises an arm to silence him* Me: HOW DARE YOU SHUSH MY BOY

The way Megatron says “let us discuss” while leaning forward makes me cautiously suspicious, but also I wonder if Megatron is as anxious to come to an agreement with Optimus as Optimus is with him, in his own way...

Shadow Striker’s surveillance got blocked by Prowl’s massive chest lmaooooo

Shadow Striker has such a good voice, I KNOW I MENTION THE VA’s IN EVERY LIVEBLOG BUT MAN!!! CYBERVERSE HAS SUCH GREAT VOICE ACTORS

It’s so tragic that Bumblebee and Rodimus are utterly indifferent to the peace talks because they happen so frequently and always fall through :( yet again, good way of showing without getting into too much detail. I admire the way cyberverse tells their stories

OMG SOUNDWAVE AND WINDBLADE ARE ABOUT TO GO AT IT

Grimlock: quit staring at me Shockwave: illogical Grimlock: I’LL SHOW YOU ILLOGICAL GUYS PLS lmao that cracks me up, they sound like CHILDREN

Lmao @ Megatron yelling at them all, “LEAVE ME ALONE IM TRYING TO TALK TO MY EX”

tfw you’re trying to make up with your ex but your disaster children have absolutely zero chill

OH GOOD SLIPSTREAM IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE MOST COMPETENT DECEPTICON

“Must we?” SOUNDWAVE C'MON MAN

HE HAS A GUN ON THE BOTTOM OF HIS FOOT IN SUCH A WEIRD SPOT LMAO

SHE SHOT HIM AND I CANT EVEN BE THAT MAD, SOUNDWAVE YOU’RE BEING A BUTT

“The biggest mistake I made was underestimating Starscream” story of Megatron’s life in every series

OMG….SHADOW STRIKER AND PROWL ARE HANGING OUT…THAT’S UNEXPECTEDLY ADORABLE

wHEELJACK AND SHOCKWAVE HANGING OUT WITH THE SHOCKLETS IM SHRIEKING WITH JOY THATS!! SO!!! CUTE!!!!

Shockwave’s little expression before it cuts back to Megatron and Optimus :’)

*whispers* and they were LAB partners!

Megatron: We should have talked like this ages ago, Prime Optimus: So much history between us… *meaningful shot of them sitting on either end of a very long table* Megatron: …and yet, so little trust Me, wheezing in agony

“Most roads on Cybertron are one way” FRICKIN

MEGATRON YOU DORK. I have no idea if he was being serious or being metaphorical but either way I laughed even while my heart ached

WINDBLADE ITS YOUR GIRLFRIEND SLIPSTREAM

Slipstream: Who’s the second most competent person I know. Slipstream: Well, it’s definitely not gonna be a Decepticon

SLIPSTREAM NO!!!!! WTF

Wheeljack: Well, it was fun while it lasted! Shockwave: No it wasn’t Snorts

MAN THIS IS KILLING ME, FATE REALLY NEVER CUTS MEGATRON AND OPTIMUS A BREAK HUH???

AGAIN, TFW YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKE UP WITH YOUR EX BUT YOUR KIDS HAVE ZERO CHILL

OK BUT THEY’RE NOT GONNA LEAVE SLIPSTREAM LIKE THAT ARE THEY???? Jeez louise. I mean I know she’s not dead dead, my guess is she’s going to manipulate the All Spark from within later on to screw up Starscream’s plans, there’s no way they’d write her out like this.

EPISODE 8

Kitty cat no!!!

“They’re not here anymore!” Thank you captain obvious lmao. I love him. I bet Cheetor would get along well with Teletraan

“I know you told me not to interrupt anymore but—” lmao

OH NO A DISTRESS CALL FROM MEGATRON??? A last desperate attempt to warn Prime against a great danger??? Suspicious yet sweet

“Sounds extra forboding!” Teletran you’re such a DORK

Ohhh I really do love the way they animate Windblade’s expressions

“Well, this isn’t creepy at all!” Lol me 2 Rodimus

UHHHH ARE THOSE THINGS IN THEIR CHESTS BUGS??? IS THIS GOING TO BE AN ALIEN VS PREDATOR THING oh no ok, it’s just their sparks, I WAS GONNA SAY

*Ominous thunking ends abruptly* Well that’s not ominous at all

I mean at least they’ve still got their sparks?

OH MAN they even got Shockwave and Shadow Striker, jeez

SOUNDWAVE NO!

Optimus: Starscream’s forces managed to overwhelm everyone, even Soundwave I love that he said “even Soundwave”, like, yes, good, that’s right Optimus, thank you for acknowledging that my boy is no pushover

YO HOT ROD HAS HIS FLAME POWERS THAT’S SO COOL

I love the way they animate Windblade’s sword, that looks awesome

OH NO THEY’RE GETTING OPTIMUS, JEEZ THAT LOOKS BAD

MEGATRON OH NO

Starscream’s dramatic frickin reveal killed me, I can’t believe he didn’t say “Megatron has fallen

OH SNAP THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOING FOR IT??? NO ONE’S GOING TO JUMP IN TO SAVE OPTIMUS???

THAT’S SO GRUESOME WTF, THEY’RE ACTUALLY TEARING HIS CHEST OPEN TO TAKE IT OUT

“The Matrix looks really pretty” I say in a small voice, mortified beyond belief

CHEETOR IS SO CUTE....

What exactly is Cheetor doing, WAIT I think these are all old memories he’s seen, these are just flashbacks ALRIGHT WE’RE COOL I GOT IT NOW

GOSH I LOVE MEGAOP BATTLES NO MATTER HOW BRIEF THEY ARE

Cheetor: I hope they one day settle their differences so that we may one day take our place among them Somehow that makes him sound like an alien, which is ironic since they’re ALL aliens

Very nice group shot right there

aw, Cheetor is right at Rodimus’ hand level when he’s in his cheetah alt mode, I half expected Rodimus to pet him

"Won’t someone please pet me??”

Man, this makes me miss Ravage. I’d love to see him show up in Cyberverse too. We know Lazerbeak is here at least though!

[iliyovunjika]

Did you lovelies really believe that I, Leo, wouldn’t get all sappy and sentimental on a holiday? C’mon now, I always get all mushy as heck. Plus its just fun to shower you beautiful phenomenons in affection and adoration!! Truly each and every one of you deserve a whole lot of love and I am always so so proud of you guys! 

To you, my beautiful and magnificent starlings, I thank you. For your existence, for your warmth, for your kindness, for every little thing you do that makes you happy. I am thankful for you!! You are all such phenomenal creatures, surely created by the brightest of stars upon their explosions into stardust. In every way you are wonderful. From your ups to your downs, you are strong and kind even in the moments where you feel weak. To the new year, for you my lovelies, I wish you nothing but the strongest will and the kindest heart. Unto you I hope for your newest year to be your best year and every year following to be your brightest each time. 

You are a divine creature worthy of nothing less than absolution in wonder and hope. I am so very very proud of you for making it this year despite anything that might’ve tried to tear you down. 

Now while I usually go on to do a massive blogroll, I unfortunately, cannot do so because Tumblr won’t allow me to mention so many bagels all at once. (Though I’d very much love to do so.) So I’ll be mentioning a few of my beloveds and by no means should you feel left out if you’re not there. Why? Because you should already know that this rabbit loves you to pieces and would gladly gush on you any day! 

@transgenderlavi : My husband, my cute snickerdoodle. Through the years you have been my solace and my heart. You are without a doubt the most patient and kind significant other I could ever ask for. Despite all my very obvious flaws you’ve been nothing but brilliant in handling them and for that I am grateful. Without you I would not find myself smiling randomly throughout my 4am shifts as I look at your photo on my phone and wonder what you’re dreaming of. The new year brings yet another 365 days that we’ve been together and I cannot think of anything more I could ask for. 

@emvolo : My Kitten, my lovely angel. Truly I cannot believe you even accepted a dork like me. I mean, I asked you out with a poem how could you believe me anything less than an absolute dork. I’m grateful for you. You who understands my momentary disappearances, my silence that is only listening, are my moon. Without you I would find myself lacking in joy because you bring so much of it. From the way you laugh to the way you hide your face when you’re embarrassed is all divine and I can’t help but to find myself smiling at 2am even though I’m tired. This new year will bring more and more moments of joy and love and I’m very very thankful that you’re the cause of it. 

@volcrc : Onyx my Goddess!! You sweet and precious angel who so bravely brandishes the threat of Sally alongside me! You are the greatest friend anyone can hope for. You’re brilliant, beautiful, phenomenal, magnificent, and all around amazing. Without you I’m sure I would’ve already gone a wee bit crazy with anger more than a few times. Having you in my life has been an absolute treasure and I would never ask for anyone else to be my winglady in combat, tbh. I’d trust you with my beanbag gun. (That is a serious thing u know.) The new year will surely bring more adventures of booty and arms and wonderful things of goodness~ (As well as, y’know, our beautiful friendship that I’m hella thankful for mate.) You’ll always be my GG, you can’t escape that nickname ever. 

@minugahanax : WIFEY!! Seriously what the fuck man, we’ve known each other for so long now?? I can’t believe I was ever intimidated by you and your gorgeous self? Tbh first time I ran across your bagel I was just “Well fuck hello there” but now its just: I SEE YOU THERE, I SEE YOU MY STUNNING LADY OF THE WEE HOURS. ‘Cause, y’know, you arrive when I’m just getting to work and liven up my dash in like .2 seconds so you gotta be the Sun ‘cause damn lady you bring the glorious life to my mornings. Without you I’m pretty sure I would’ve stopped writing a while ago. With all my bagel changes and what not, I expected half my muses to go bye bye or to just stop writing all together at some points but lo’ and behold, YOU’VE INSPIRED ME SEVERAL TIMES TO KEEP WRITING!! I’m very thankful for you~ The new year will definitely bring more muses and beautiful bara tiddies. 

@fiercysoul : Roberta, my sweet sweet beaut! Gods, have I told you how absolutely gobsmacked I was to find that you’d been sneakin’ on me while I was sneakin’ on you? That was the funniest thing ever to me ‘cause I was, once upon a time, super dropped by your existence?? Why?? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure, even now, I was starin’ straight up at the vast sky! Seriously, you are an endless commodity of ever changing and multi-faceted magnificence that continuously floors me. You’re such a wonderful and warm person I just can’t imagine myself having ever been intimidated by such a cute smol? You give me such inspiration and wonder every day that I see you on my dash and talk to you. Its a perplexing event that I haven’t collapsed already from the dizzying reality of your blinding existence. This new year will definitely, should definitely, bring us to talk all the more~ And definitely should include wild antelopes and cute smols getting carried. 

@haxuss : BATS. Seriously, I think that’s become ingrained as your nickname in my head ‘cause its either “OTTER BABE” or “BATS” as soon as I see you around. What can I say that I haven’t screeched at you already??? I don’t know but I’ll just screech at the top of my lungs anyways because I GOT SOME THINGS TO SAY TO YOU. From your beautiful art to your intricate writing and dedication to your muses, you are PHENOMENAL. The devotion and time you put into everything is absolutely wonderful and I cannot help but to find myself floored by you in general. You’re such a cute person too?? Like damn?? Where have you been all my life?? We should’ve been friends in grade school okay ‘cause I’m p sure we would’ve been raising hell and bringing bats to nap time. You’re an absolute divinity and I am so thankful I met you!!! This new year will definitely be a great one for you ‘cause its gonna be full of wonderful things and happiness. 

@ardenssolis : Clears throat. YODELS SHIIIIIII . I always wanna like, scream your name (haha, innuendos) ‘cause it just sounds so nice. OKAY WHAT TO SAY TO YOU. Or scream. I mean that’s kinda the theme here. Rather, what I should say is what am I not gonna say ‘cause boy howdy I’m about to say it all. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. I’m always so delighted when you’re on my dash and I’m constantly gobsmacked by your writing and your in depth analysis and portrayal of characters??? You drive me nuts ‘cause I wanna just sit on your bagel and go through all your HCs and stuff at random points in time?? JUST LET ME SQUISH YOUR CHEEKS AND LOVE YOU. You’re such a sweet person and you’re a wonderful individual all around that truly brings nothing but warmth and kindness to everyone around you. Lemme love you ‘cause this new year will definitely bring you joy and good juju. 

@corazcnazul : WHEEZES. BABE. SUGAR. SWEETS. I weep upon the stars because they have gifted me with such a bright and unstoppable force of pure goodness aka YOU. From the moment I met you, you have been kinder than a kitten and sweeter than unicorn cupcakes. You’re an amazingly talented writer and you’ve got nothing short of a phenomenon of a golden heart. I’m always so happy when we talk and I’m thankful you’re there when I’ve had some pretty rough moments. You’re such a treasure in this world that I cannot imagine it fairing well without you and I’m so proud to have gotten the pleasure to know you. I mean, you’ve seen me go off and ramble for like 20 years and rambled with me, that’s friggin’ friendship at its finest and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The new year is definitely gonna be full of wonderful things and us definitely gushing more, I’m excited~ 

@skyvar : Makes incredibly dramatic gestures. YOU. YES YOU, WITH THE CUTE FACE. Seriously I cannot describe how gobsmacked I am by your very existence?? Like how in the fuck did the universe come up with you?? From your incredible art to your amazing portrayals and writing all around, I just can’t believe that such a magnificent creature exists in this world??? Just let me poke at you and plot with you and doodle for you and JUST LET ME LOVE YOU. You’re incredible all around and I’m just, floored that I’ve gotten the gracious chance to know you. This new year will definitely bring make out sessions and long haired boys with aggressive cats. (Yeah that’s right, I SAW DEM TAGS.) 

@inastris : I s2g YOU. YOU THERE. I’MMA SMOOCH YOUR LOVELY FACE AND CARRY YOU EVERYWHERE YOU MAGNIFICENT BEING. Flo, you seriously make me so happy and giddy when ever I see you or talk to you. Be it writing or just all around existing, you are without a doubt, flawless. I cannot even begin to portray how wonderful it is that I got the chance to know you and laugh with you. You are a divinity that exists to bring warmth to this world and it would be all the worse for it if you weren’t here. I love your writing, your personality, your devotion to your characters, everything. You’re an amazing individual and this new year will definitely bring you happiness. (Otherwise I’mma get a brick and beat 2k18 down.) 

@frystsnow : TEA MY LOVE. Seriously I just. Lemme. SCREECHES AND CLINGS TO YOUR FACE. Weeps why are you so precious and wonderful and lovely and kind and sweet and beautiful and-- Okay I could go on for years like that, lbr, there aren’t enough words in the dictionary at my disposal in all languages to describe how amazing you are and how great it is that I got the pleasure to know you. You are without a doubt, the most bright hearted person and wonderful commodity I’ve ever gotten the absolute pleasure to meet and know. From your writing to your graphics to your personality and your all around in depth care for your muses, you are unmatched. You’re comical and kind but tough as nails and lbr, I’d totally go to bat for you in a heartbeat with a beanbag gun and potatoes to defend your honour. This new year better be bringin’ you all the good stuff or its mcfuckin’ on. 

@blackcuttingmoon : EXCUSE ME, WHO THE FUCK GAVE THE UNIVERSE THE RIGHT TO CREATE SUCH A FLAWLESS BEING OF DIVINITY??? I want a fuckin’ refund ‘cause I came here to not be floored and sent spiraling but damn that’s all I get with you~ You are such a hard working and beautiful soul, darling. From the moment I met you, you were so welcoming and kind. You’re always bright and trying your best to get things done even when you’re surely overwhelmed. Our conversations are always fun and inspiring and you as a whole inspire me to do better with my writing. You’re such a wonderful influence and kindness that I just can’t even be bristled up when I’ve had a bad day when you’re around. I am so thankful for you sugar. This year will definitely be easier on you and will be full of absolute joy~ ‘Cause I’mma make sure of it. 

@scngre : GRABS YOUR FACE-- Did u think for a second I wouldn’t be addressin’ u sweet stuff? ‘Cause if u did, HAH YOU WERE WRONG MATE. Alright so lemme just lay it out for ya: you are without a doubt, absolutely phenomenal.
