#i will die. my party will die. we'll all have a terrible time and my anxiety can't handle that

[tieflingbi]

i think one of my least favourite things about ffxiv that i keep encountering is that they will put you through the most intense, high-stakes story parts and then you come out of the cutscene, pumped to get out there and save the world or whatever and it's like. haha you thought!!! duty finder queue for 20 mins bitch.

like it really disrupts the flow of the narrative and i hate that personally

[thevoidstaredback]

Okay, so maybe giving his calling card to a kid was a bad idea. He sees that now. Unfortunately, it's too late to take it back. On the bright side, the kid wasn't going to be able to figure out who he is yet based solely on a summoning circle. In the pitch black void of things, Danny can sense the card and the person who's holding it.

Maybe if he leaves Fawcett fast enough he can keep plausible deniability because there's no way that the tiny homeless kid he just met is Captain Marvel. Nope, no way. Not his circus, not his monkeys. He's leaving now.

"What happened to you?" Deadman had an insufferable grin on his face. Did he have the House drop him in Gotham? Danny wouldn't put it past him.

"Don't wanna talk about it."

"Where ya going?"

"To the basement."

"Why?"

Was the other ghost always this annoying? "Because leaving was a terrible idea. I'm going to go hide in the basement until the day I fully die."

"Aw," Deadman tried to pout, but he failed and started to cackle. "Don't be like that. Did you not enjoy your trip to Gotham?"

Danny was a lot of things. Violent usually didn't make it onto that list. However, he was willing to make an assumption. "So it was your fault."

Another cackle. "Don't be like that! You've never been to Gotham before. You can't tell me you at least didn't have fun."

They were at the basement stairs now. "For your information, I have been to Gotham. I didn't get to do much exploring this time because Batman and his gaggle of sidekicks surrounded me!"

"You've been to Gotham?"

"Not important."

"Oh?" The glee on the full ghost's face made Danny uneasy. "I sense a story behind that."

Oh, no. "No. I'm not telling you." He marched past and down the stairs, not bothering to unlock or open the door.

"Please!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I said 'no'."

"Party pooper." he huffed. "You know I'm just going to keep asking, right?"

A sigh. "I'm not gonna cave. No."

"Ah, but you will!" That was the confidence of a ghost who knew he was right. Danny did not like how that bodes for him. "You, my friend, are a younger sibling. I am also a younger sibling."

Shit. "That....That means nothing. My answer will stay 'no'."

Deadman had the gall to chuckle darkly. "We'll see." Then, he disappeared.

Danny didn't sigh because he doesn't need to breathe. He was not going to tell what happened because what happens in Gotham stays in Gotham. It's a rule of thumb that people don't cross. Besides, Deadman doesn't know that Danny's actually the middle sibling. Dani, introduced to his parents soon after he'd told them he was a Halfa, was the embodiment of younger sibling because he had once been the embodiment of younger sibling.

***

"Please get Deadman to stop!" Danny begged Zatanna three weeks later. Maybe he'd overestimated himself a little bit.

The sorcerer raised an eyebrow as she looked up from the book she'd been reading. Something on runes? "What's he doing this time?"

"He won't stop asking me to tell him about my first trip to Gotham."

"You've been to Gotham?"

Danny groaned into the throw pillow he was clutching. "Yes. Please make him stop!"

"Sorry, hun," she focused back on her book, "But I can't see him."

"Oh. I forgot about that."

"Why don't you just tell him?"

Danny shot up, appalled by the very idea. "It's a matter of principle!" he exclaimed, "I am both the older and younger sibling: The middle child. If I give in, I'll have failed! I can't do that. Do you want me to fail?!"

"Okay, okay, geez!" she surrendered, "Don't gotta be so overdramatic about it."

"I'm not being overdramatic! I'm being just dramatic enough!"

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say, kid."

"I'm not a kid!"

"You look like one."

"Yeah, but I'm not! I'm-"

"King of the Infinite Realms," Constantine interrupted, "We know."

"Then don't call me a kid."

"Yeah, yeah, kid,"

"I'm not-!"

"Look, we can have this argument all day and we'll still end in a tie. I've got a case in San Francisco near Titan's Tower. Raven's coming along. Do you want to come with?"

"Don't you normally work solo?" Danny asked. Zatanna still hadn't looked back up from her book and he was pretty sure she'd tuned them out.

"Is that a 'no'?"

"No! No, I'll come with." Maybe having Constantine with him will deter the JL from hounding him. What do they even want with him? If they're upset that he died at fourteen, he's gonna scream.

The Brit smirked. "You sound almost desperate to get out."

"Shut up and let's go."

"Alright, alright."

The Red Death

Thorn: I feel terrible. I think I coughed a lung up. Can I fake my death and take a day off? Thire: Not feeling so hot either, vod. Can I take the war off? Fox: ::flatly:: If I don't get time off, you don't either. I don't remember the last time I felt good. Thorn: So you're not sick like the rest of us? Fox: …

::flashback 1:: Triage: One of Hound's people brought back a fast-acting virus with them after visiting the lower levels. Most of the Guard is already infected and the rest are likely to get it soon. Fox: … Fox: We can get sick? Triage: Apparently. I don't know what this is. If I could, I'd find out what it is and see if there's a cure. But I don't have the training or the tools. Fox: … Triage: Best case scenario, we quarantine the Guard and wait to see how many survive. Fox: And the worst case scenario? Triage: … Triage: You don't want to know.

::flashback 2:: Fox: Your excellency, may I speak with you? Palpatine: Of course, commander. It would be my pleasure. Fox: I-- Palpatine: And commander, take your helmet off, would you? I like to see the faces of the people I'm talking with. Fox: … Fox: ::takes helmet off:: Sir, it would be in the best interests of everyone if other parties took over the Guard's duties for the next few days. Many of my men are ill and my chief medical officer tells me that it's likely all of us will be by the end of the week-- Palpatine: Oh? And why would you think you deserve something like that? Fox: I-- ::vomits on Palpatine's imported handwoven carpet:: Palpatine: Disgusting. Truly disgusting. No, commander, you'll do your duty or you die. You're all replaceable anyway. Perhaps your successor will be more competent than you. And less pathetic. Succumbing to a common virus, really. Hardly worth the money paid for you.

Fox: It doesn't matter. We do our duty or we die. Thire: Or we do our duty and we die. Thorn: That's the spirit! Always look on the bright side, vod!

And Fox would say something, but Thire's not wrong. So…

Fox: Business as usual, vod'e. Dead and dying to the medbay, pair up so that if one person passes out, the other can cover for them and try not to vomit on any senators. Thorn: If I can't puke on a senator, can I puke on the chancellor instead? Fox: … Thorn: Fox, you magnificent hypocritical bastard. You didn't. Fox: I only got the carpet. Thorn: I want to be you when I grow up.

And so the Corries get on with their jobs because no one cares if they're sick or not while Fox resigns himself to signing off on several decommissioning orders by the end of the day because the majority of senators have an extremely low tolerance for clones behaving like anything other than droids. (That a significant number seem to think of them as sex droids? Fox would like to see how they fare against the real thing.)

What no one realizes is that the Vode were genetically engineered to be better than their progenitor. To be more resistant to disease, to heal faster and, whenever possible, to not get sick at all. For them to all get sick at once? Requires something highly contagious and more along the lines of a deadly bioterrorism agent, not a mere common cold.

And so:

Thorn: Fox! Fox! Fox: ::irritable and feverish:: What?? Thorn: The chancellor is dead! And so is most of the senate! This is just the Best! Day! Ever!! Fox: … Fox: What happened?? Thorn: I don't know? They just started keeling over. There's bodies everywhere. It's great. I guess it started with the worst of the shiny raping demagolka and spread from there? Triage: This is the worst case scenario I was afraid of. Natborns aren't built to handle the kinds of things that the Vode are. Interesting that it crosses the species barrier though. Thorn: And I got to puke on Free Ta when he tried to stick his kad down my throat! This really is the best day ever! Fox: … Fox: I'm giving everyone the rest of the day off. We'll revisit in the morning. Triage: Why? It's too late to quarantine the Guard. The disease has already spread to the Senate and likely outside of it as well. And recovery will take more than a day in any case. Fox: … Triage: You are quarantining the Guard, right? That is what you're trying to do, isn't it?? Fox: … Fox: Once everyone's gotten some sleep, we'll reassess. Thorn: And throw a party! Because it's not every day you kill the biggest bastards in the galaxy by heaving your guts out.

[yakumtsaki]

-Welcome to my ancestral Greek House, darling! -Oh baby it's so beautiful, huhu!🌞

I don't wanna know where the fuck you lived before, Meadow, but yes, we have arrived, part 1 here. And now it's time to christen our new household:

Perfect! Cheerleader Kea why are you here?

-Are those Sophito's kids?

They sure are.

-Wow, really dodged a bullet there.

You sure did.

-NOT ONLY DID I LOSE THE INAUGURAL FIGHT I'M ABOUT TO GO INTO ASPIRATION FAILURE

Wtf do you want me to do about it?

-YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT

NO WAY

-YES

NO

-YES

I can't say no to my sims, it's an actual problem. HELLO GUNNAR, I HATE YOU

-Don't talk to him that way!!! -Nah it's fine, no worries, bro. Wanna get down?

GROSS. Barth seriously, please, WE CAN DO BETTER

-Can you? They seem perfectly matched to me!

Felina will you please fuck off?

-Can't, Meadow got me super into bird watching.

At night in the rain??

-Ok busted, I just wanna watch Barfolomew flop yet again!

HE'S NOT GONNA FLOP. THERE'S NO WAY HE FLOPS WITH FUCKING GUNNAR

-Wanna bet?

STOP IT

S T O P . I T .

NO WAY

BARTHOLOMEW YOU ARE THE WORST ROMANCE SIM OF ALL TIME HOLY HELL

-What you doing, bro?! -You said you wanted to get down! -I meant drugs! -What! That's not what that means, you stupid turtle-faced moron! -WHAT DID YOU CALL ME

Bartholomew if you end up getting beaten up by fucking Gunnar Roque I will legit die.

-That's so hot, bro, call me more names!

GUNNAR WTF

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME, GUNNAR YOU WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM GO BACK TO THAT

-Oh Gunnar, in my family we value the exquisite Komei jaw, there's something so rebellious in your lack of chin! -Ya, call me a turtle again!

GOD

OK THEN, we are officially turtle lovers. Bartholomew let me tell you, I caved this time because of your pathetic aspiration but this is NEVER HAPPENING AGAIN. I've worked hard to make you people attractive and I'm not about to throw it all away on Gunnar Roque's spawn!!!

-Maybe we'll be childfree!

I'll do you one better, how about Gunnarfree! Now Gunnar fuck off back to the gutter you crawled from. -Sure thing, bro, later. -You can't keep us apart!

I CAN AND I WILL

Jojo's wolf mania has clearly inflicted some generational trauma on his family as Barth rolls this fear of Gunnar becoming a werewolf, which would clearly be an improvement on his looks.

-STOP TALKING ABOUT GUNNAR LIKE THAT. Now back to my song.. I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.. When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May.. I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way? My Gunnar, my Gunnar, my Gunnar, talkin about my Gunnar..🎵

Literally kill me.

-You know what my favorite thing is about our relationship, darling? -What, huhu?🌞 -The way we both have appropriately sized chins!

Fel seriously why are you like this, what did I ever do to you??

-OH, LIKE YOU DON'T REMEMBER!

Remember WHAT

-THE WAY YOU JUST STOOD BY AND LET BARF RUIN MY PARTY

Are you serious, you're still not over that bs??

-I'LL NEVER GET OVER IT. AND WHEN THOSE CHINLESS BABIES ARE BORN YOU'LL HAVE GOTTEN WHAT YOU DESERVE!!!

Well screw you, I won't let that happen! I'll find someone else for Barth!! Someone who has a chin!!!

-IT'S NOT GONNA WORK OUT WITH ANYONE ELSE YOU DUMBASS, THIS IS BARF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

YOU'RE WRONG AND I'LL PROVE IT

-Zat's ein wunderbar eyepatch, Barthölömew, ja? -I HATE YOUR GLASSES. SLEEP WITH ME

-So the funniest thing happened at class today- -YOUR PORES ARE HUGE, YOU NEED MAKE UP. SLEEP WITH ME

-Oh, I knew your parents back in the day! -TERRIBLE HAIRCUT. SLEEP WITH ME

-WAHHH I'LL NEVER HAVE A FAMILY -NO YOU WON'T. I WANT TO BEAT UP MY SISTER. SLEEP WITH ME

Oh my God you are USELESS

-My negging tactics will work, you'll see!

-Soon I'll be the one making out in our front yard!

Ya idk Barth, this is the most pathetic picture of all time. I'm seriously considering cheating and changing your aspiration, like it's unreal how bad you are at it.

-I'm not bad at it, moron, I'm being strategic! Now it's time to invite them over and see my work bear fruit!

God you are so gross, maybe you do belong with Gunnar.

FUCK ME IT WORKED. SARAH WTF

I can't believe this is happening and neither can anyone else by the looks of it-

-YET HERE WE ARE. 2/20 I guess??

-I told you! Stick with me and we'll neg every dormie on this campus!

That's not a goal I want to achieve, Barth!

-See you later, Barth, I'm very satisfied, I'll leave you a 5 star review!

Now that I'm thinking about it, between Gunther, Cyn, Sophito and Barth we've really been operating a Greek House/Brothel for 4 gens, go us!

I'm still having a hard time believing Barth is actually good at being a romance sim, especially because Sarah has been completely desperate ever since Cyn stole evil wizard Matthew Hart from her, so I immediately invite over Sam Thomas-

-AND IT WORKS AGAIN THO GLITCHED. WTF. Ok Barth so I guess you actually ARE competent?? Who knew.

-I knew! I always believed in Barth!

GET OUT OF HERE SUNSET

And now, time for a tragedy in 3 parts:

So next day I'm feeling confident enough that we invite over Klara, my top pick for Barth spouse and she is INTO him, let's do this, Barth!!!

SUNSET

-Heeeeeeeeey Barth, what's up?🥰 -Ich habe urgent hömewörk das dö.

KLARA DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT LEAVING THEM ALONE

-Congrats on your great first semester grades, Sunset! -Wanna congratulate me on my first kiss, too? -What?

OK THEN FML I GUESS. I mean I knew this would happen the day he brought her home from school and they were dancing for like 4h but still it's very upsetting.

Let's figure out the degree of relation here so we know how grossed out we should be, so they are connected through Daniel-Jojo. So her grandfather and his great-grandfather were brothers, which makes them 2nd cousins once removed. It honestly doesn't sound THAT bad, but I think the word 'removed' is really doing the heavy lifting here.

Anyway, we took a small break to kiss our cousin, now let's go back to our date with our future wife!

-Are you enjoying this magical slow dancing in the kitchen, babe? It's a move my dad taught me. -Ja, ich was here to see your höe vater.

Oh right didn't Klara turn down Sophito LOL. But his even more degenerate son she couldn't resist, Klara wtf!

-Just give me 1 second babe, I'll be right with you-

OH MY GOD COME ON. POOR KLARA

-Sorry, Klar, this is lasting longer than expected, why don't you put a movie on and hang out? -Ja, ök.

KLARA

-All done babe, come here! -Ohöhö! -Blood is thicker than water, Klara!

SUNSET FFS

B R O

Klara I can't believe this title goes to you of all people but you are without a doubt the biggest cuck we've ever encountered, I am legit shocked by this sequence of events.

-5/20 IN 2 DAYS. AND YOU THOUGHT I WAS A FLOP ROMANCE SIM. EVERYONE DID. EVEN MY GRANDMAS MADE FUN OF ME. WELL I'LL SHOW YOU ALL!!!!

Great! Barth is at 5/20 woohoos and I'm at 2/2 for supervillain origin stories this gen, it's all working out!

tbgb x panic! at the disco: comprehensive guide

from someone who's been a panic scholar since i was eleven and a tbgb scholar since i was fifteen (i know what im on about)

this is intended to be a positive and helpful informative etc post bc ive been seeing some terrible misinformation online about this specific crossover and I feel the need to correct it

ill list each album bar vlv and then list every song from that album which I believe is tbgb-applicable and newlab-applicable and give a/some particularly relevant lyrics ok lets go

most important ones r in red btw

afycso

only difference: "oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention, I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives"

london beckoned: the whole song?? literally like "slightly clever to just a certain extent" "make us it make us hip make us scene"

time to dance: was hesitant to include bc it is about a book but "give me envy give malice give me your attention" is so them (nothing else though)

i constantly thank god for esteban: "'cause I am a new wave gospel, sharp, and you'll be thy witness"

pretty. odd.

she's a handsome woman: ok to get this one you have to understand my own personal theory that this song is about a gay man coming to terms w his sexuality. trust me it works "wink, just don't put your teeth on me" etc

folkin around "you've never been so divine in accepting your defeat, and i've never been more scared to be alone." top ten panic songs ever btw

vices & virtues

let's kill tonight: "fate will play us out with a song of pure romance"

hurricane: "you and god both got the guns", "oh I'd confess, I'd confess in the room where i'm blessed, but he didn't come and speak to me or put my heart at ease", "fix me or conflict me, I'll take anything"

trade mistakes: "(don't) let me save you, hold this rope then I'll pull you in 'cause I am an anchor sinking.."

special note to say that the calendar isn't on here bc its literally explicitly unequivocally about mikey way and that's just the truth of the matter I can't twist it in my mind to be tbgb

nearly witches: "trembling hands play my heart like a drum but the beat's gotten lost in the show"

stall me: "a dark room in the wallflower garden of the party", "my moods are mercurial but I'm no mercury, don't hold your breath"

oh glory: "build myself a wall of unhappy highs and only my heart knows my head is lying"

I wanna be free: "everything seems to be estranged when you're alone"

turn off the lights: "turn on the charm for me tonight"

twtltrtd

vegas lights: "bored with looking good", "would you change it if you could?"

casual affair: "so the mess that we'll become leaves something to talk about"

far too young to die: don't even fucking want to talk about this one its the best song panic's ever released and its about tony blair and gordon brown can u imagine that full post coming soon xx

death of a bachelor

victorious: "all my friends we're glorious", "I'm like a scarf trick, it's all up the sleeve"

don't threaten me w a good time: ok I don't have any lyrics for this one I just want someone to do a tony blair edit to this song (tp if you're listening I'd support)

golden days: "the decades might've washed it out"

tgtbatd: look it almost has tbgb in the title

house of memories: this ones been tiktokified so im hesitant... "I wish I could believe you'd never ruined me"

pftw

none! crazy......

New Adventure

FFXIV Write 2024 Day 1 Prompt: Steer

Ruruma walked into the bustling evening of the Quicksand deftly weaving her way through the crowd gathered for the evening revelry. She made her way to the bar right in front of Momodi and sat down giving the busy Lalafell a quick wave as the woman was taking the orders of a rather large adventuring party. Momodi waved back and said quickly, "Just sit tight he will be here shortly then we'll both explain why we've asked you to make yer way back here to Ul'dah."

Ruru simply nodded and sat back to the bar watching the busy tavern with a measured gaze. It had been some time since she had set foot in this city and to most it would seem the same as it had been back then but Ruru knew better. The hustle of the crowd did not hide the apprehension that laid heavy in the air. People put on a good show of it but she could see clearly that many around still bore the scars of the Calamity.

Ruru herself had been lucky her little ranch at the edge of Thanalan and the Shroud had been spared any damage wrought by the dragon that burst from the red moon. She had done everything she could to help her neighbors who were not as lucky. Five years had done little to mend the damage wrought and it was telling here even as people caroused in the night there was still an air of tension.

"Ruru you are a sight for these old eyes how have you been lass?" a voice from her right stated and she turned to see Papashan striding up to her

She gave the elder Lalafell a smile and said, "Lass huh? Trying to butter me up before you and Momo give me some terrible news?"

"Most certainly not, I am truely glad to see you my dear it has been some time."

She chuckled and nodded, "Aye never really intended to set foot here again after I retired but you both sending a request for my aid told me it was something."

The old Lalafell nodded and took a seat beside her and both waited in silence as Momodi finished with the last of the adventurers and sent them to a nearby table to await their drinks and food. She then made her way over to the pair and stated, "It is, to be blunt Ruru we have a huge favor to ask of you."

Papashan nodded and added, "It will be a lot to ask but I believe it is well worth it in the long run given your habit of helping those in need,"

Ruru gave a huge sigh, "You both haven't forgotten that I have retired from the adventures life yes?"

They both nodded in response and Momodi stated, "Aye I am well aware but Ruru listen we have need of you again, now more than ever. There are more and more tasks for the guild to take on and to be blunt not enough adventurers with experience to take them on."

"There are plenty of young eager volunteers to take on the jobs but it soon is apparent that…." Papashan started then hesitated a moment

"They're too green and dying instead o getting the job done?" Ruru growled at him more than a little annoyed with the both of them because they knew her feelings when it came to young adventurers taking on too much.

Papashan nodded, "Yes, I know its a…delicate matter with you but it is also why I thought to ask for your aid. You of all people…"

"Am soft hearted enough to make sure the young fools don't get themselves killed!" she snapped back

He went silent clearly uncomfortable with pressing further a look of reget deep in his eyes which at least gave Ruru some sastifaction even as she was seething.

"They need someone with experience that can guide em Ruru, its why were asking you. I know you have been done with this buisness for some time and it pains me to have to ask but I'd rather try than see more youngbloods die." Momodi murmured

Ruru pinched her nose and then took a steadying breath, "Fine, I know if both of you are worried about it this is something incredibly needed. Wheres the damn book Momo I'll put my name on the roster once more."

Momodi didn't hesitate or question she simply slid the Adventure's Guild roster over to her along with a quill and Ruru scrawled her name down once more. She then glared at the other Lalafell and stated, "They'd better know to listen cause and they'd better not expect to be mollycoddled cause ye know that's not how I am."

Momodi nodded and closed the book stating, "Thank you Ruru and I will be sure any I send with you are well aware of that fact."

"Truly my dear we are grateful," Papashan added

"Save it, you both knew what my answer was gonna be with ye both hounding me on it." She gritted then softened as both seemed to flinch, "But, hells ye know full well Im not gonna let fools die for nothing."

She then hopped down and looked at Momodi, "Welp looks like I'm gonna need my old suite in the Hourglass unless ye've given it to someone else?"

"I'll get it arranged dear friend welcome back and once again thank you,"

Ruru just gave a wave as she made her way out of the Quicksand and into the busy evening streets she sighed. She was definetly angry at both of her old friends for playing upon old wounds like that to get their way but she also knew full well if she had refused they would have respected that.

But something is definetly happening, she thought to herself as she made her way to the stables at the edge of the city to get old Pumpkin her chocobo to return home to pack what she'd need to once again begin as an adventurer. Why else would I been having the strange dreams and hearing that voice since the damn moon fell.

As she took the reins from the stable hand and mounted the bird he chirped at her questionally sensing his mistress's mood. She patted him and stated, "Well old boy seems were dragged back into the adventurin business."

As Pumpkin took off he squawked his opinion of that comment and she chuckled letting her mood lighten as the bird took off. One thing she couldn't deny she did love adventuring.

[tua-five]

Lets also finally talk about the s4 episode titles. (Yes, I know I'm way late. Give me a break 😭)

⚠️⚠️ Possible s4 spoilers! ⚠️⚠️

"The Unbearable Tragedy of Getting What You Want"

Right, so there's 2 theories going around. The first one is that it's about Allison. She got what she wanted, a life with both Ray and Claire. And something about that goes terribly. The second one is Reggie. He gets what he wants, a good timeline where he's in charge of the world. Something goes wrong. All actions have consequences.

I'm here to propose a third theory. Everyone. It's bad for everyone. Of course there's another doomsday, regarding ben, we'll get to that in a moment, but I also think there's other reasons.

We'll start off with Luther. He is seen as a stripper. This I'm sure everyone knows now. He looks to be quite happy and content with that. But maybe it's too much attention on him. Something going wrong one way or another.

He is also seen putting on a helmet, a space suit. Is he going back to the moon? Is that just a costume? Is he cosplaying himself? (Okay, probably not). Or is this a consequence of something?

Next is Diego and Lila. They get a wonderful and happy life with their kid. That in itself can be a tragedy, restless nights, responsibilities, etc. But again, does this give them attention on themselves? And is the kid powered? My theory is yes. Absolutely. That will definitely cause problems.

We already know Allison. She has her perfect life with Raymond and her daughter Claire. But nothing is perfect. Can Ray and Claire really just be together like that and get along? Ray is a first time parent, how will that go? Allison still has her powers, and we know how that went with Patrick.

Klaus is a germaphobe. It's obvious now; With the gloves and the mask and everything. I don't really know what he would want... my guess is to get sober, and I think he does. He raises the glass but never drinks it:

The consequence is definitely going through withdrawal, but knowing the show, (of my theory is correct) there has to be more.

Five wants a 1970s corvette stingray. Okay, so, nothing there, but I still think he deserves it. Five wants a normal life. No apocalypse, no doomsday, no repeatedly seeing his siblings die. He wants a normal life. And then he joins the CIA. (I have read nothing about this, I am trying to avoid the interviews and everything because I want to go in almost blind. There are pros and cons to it, so I might watch 1 interview, so I'm not disappointed and know what to expect. I have seen/glimpsed at some things saying Five is in the CIA). This is on brand for him. And with Reginald in charge of things, I can see him wanting an inside scoop of everything, even if he says he wants to be retired. His whole life has been action, and he can't get away from it. The consequence of this would be learning something he doesn't want to know. Something happening because he learned it or something along those lines.

Ben, we know him. Okay, we don't, really. He's almost a mystery because he's more "sparrow" than "umbrella". But we do know that he's the one to cause doomsday this time. And it has something to do with the "Jennifer incident."

Viktor is the last one. He was the last one to leave at the end of s3, too. I'm not sure what he wants. His family is my guess. A normal life. And that doesn't exactly happen because doomsday is approaching again. But he heads to reginald. Why? I don't know.

I'll talk about Reggie, too. He gets what he wants with him being the center of everything, but as I said, actions have consequences. A number of things can go wrong, like people finding out he's an alien. And what his real plan is. Because there's bound to be one. He also got Abigail, his wife, back. The butterfly effect will definitely be a problem with that. With everyone, actually.

Despite the title of the episode, the logline Blackman added was, "Who doesn't love a good birthday party?" This we can assume to be about Diego and Lila's kid. Or maybe all the hargreeves's get together for their birthday? I doubt it, though. Why summarize this episode with that? Guess we'll find out.

"Jean and Gene"

Well, we know that they are married. Dr. Jean Thibedeau and Dr. Gene Thibedeau. So this will be all about them and who they are.. I assume. What their role is in this timeline. They seem to be like the commission. Correcting the timeline.

The brief summary was, "They both wear the pants in the relationship." So they're both responsible, it makes sense, but it doesn't give much for us..

"The Squid and the Girl"

Okay, so we all know it. This is all about the Jennifer incident. We know that's a big part, the trailer having a scene where Five is asking how Ben really died. And then also a clip of ben seemingly dying with a girl by his side on the ground.

Blackman summarized this as "Two paths cross, one squid enters." Ben finds Jennifer in this timeline, and it triggers something? This is how all their powers are back? Maybe..?

"The Cleanse"

Everyone's initial thought is Klaus. It makes sense with his powers whatnot, but I think it's the universe. All about trying to "cleanse" the timeline and get it back to normal.

The summary was, "There's not enough sage in the universe, apparently." Which was supposed to be a nice little funny thing. But there is a clip in the teaser (I believe) of Klaus with presumably sage. Like he's a "spiritual" guy now. So I also agree with everyone's thoughts on this being about Klaus.

"Six Years, Five Months, and Two Days"

Right, well, it's safe to assume that this is the exact time jump happened. We know that s4 is set six years later. So my guess is we'll get everything about what their lives were like during that time.

Blackman described it, though, as "The Hargreeves siblings find themselves doing through impossible: teaming up with their father." So the episode (my guess) will also be about what halted their normal lives. Exactly what happened that made them realize there's another doomsday and why and how they teamed up with Reggie to stop the impending apocalypse again.

"End of the Beginning"

It's not the end. Of everything I mean. It's the end of something. No pun intended, I mean it. It will never be over for the hargreeves siblings. It just won't. But it will be the end of something. The end of "the end of the world" hopefully.

Blackman gave a sad summary sentence. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger... right?" It's sad because I mistakenly learned that Ben will not be in the final scene. This raises warning signs and bells everywhere. My first thought is that he's dead. And I can't have that. So I'll go with something else. Ben survives, "What doesn't kill you." But he doesn't get stronger. If anything, weaker. Because of "... right?" Something happens, but he's not dead. Or maybe we take it a different route. "What doesn't kill you" all of the doomsdays and the work that went into stopping them "makes you stronger... right?" brings the siblings together. They get through it all together. But their bonds are broken. They're leaving. They all want normal lives, and maybe they can't have that with each other. So their bond gets weaker. Not stronger, no matter how much they worked together. And the show ends on a bad note. Everything comes to light, and we can be content with all the information, but it's done. No more hargreeves interactions.

I don't want it to end badly. I want it to end well. But maybe if I believe the worst, I'll be happy when it turns out better than I thought, and I won't cry as hard. Okay, maybe I still will. But that's besides the point.

Phone Call w/ Clayton Mitchell 3.12.2024

Xavier: [laughing as he continues typing. His phone is propped beside him so that Clayton can watch him] Those nieces of mine are going to be trouble! I'm telling you. Got it from you, mate.

Clayton: [snorts] Please. We all know they got your genes. Athena is about ready to quit and just homeschool them! [grins] Have twins they said, it'll be fun they said.

Xavier: [chuckles] oh come on, man. It's kinder. Wait until they become teenagers then you'll be crying on the phone. Tell Athena that the kids need the social interactions and they'll be fine. They're just happy lil ones.

Clayton: [smirks] you say that because they aren't yours. You can give them back at the end of the day. Which reminds me, they keep asking for you. When is uncle X coming back? He promised me a tea party, we miss Henry. Winter needs to come back to my tea party. Mate, how many tea parties did you lot promise?

Xavier: [laughs again and stops his writing momentarily to face the camera] Not quite sure. Possibly an unlimited amount. I'm thinking of doing another trip in the summer when the kids are out school but not in summer camp yet. They're dying to go back too and see the kids. They also miss Athena. You too, I guess.

Clayton: [smiles] please. they adore me.

Xavier: that they do. How's mum doing with all this extra time she has now?

Clayton: Well, I know she won't tell ya but she's started another hobby. She's driving dad crazy pulling out everything from the upstairs closet. Wants to make it a fancy walk-in with a jewelry corner and all. She thinks she's the Queen.

Xavier: She is though! I'm so glad to hear her energy is restored and that's why I ask you even though I just spoke with her earlier. I know you won't keep anything from me.

Clayton: I won't. You know, dad keeps talking about you to his students. They had all tuned in on Sunday. We're so proud of you, X.

Xavier: [smiles warmly] Well, thanks. It was a great award show.

Clayton: yeah, well you made it great. No offense to everyone else. You're the best thing to happen to them and to SNL but i think you know that.

Xavier: Marcello is also a great addition. He pulls in a lot of younger folks and it's nice to see a lot of latino skits.

Clayton: aye. He's a funny guy. Athena and I are thinking of coming over there but if you come here first, we'll come in the fall. That way it seems like less of gap for when we see one another.

Xavier: I like the sound of that. I miss you all terribly.

Clayton: Mmm and maybe we can meet your beau?

Xavier: [rolls his eyes] maybe, yes. if you behave.

Clayton: It's mum, dad, and Athena you have to worry about. They're gonna vet him.

Xavier: Uh they better not. I'm a grown-ass man.

Clayton: [laughs] you sound so American. But I'm happy for you. I saw the photos. Everyone's convinced it's some famous chap. Bill, Ben something or other.

Xavier: Yeah, well, it's all new and all but I'm also happy and I think you'd like him a lot. I'd rather it be kept that way. He doesn't need any limelight on him right now. It'll die down in a few weeks. Good thing I'm not super famous.

Clayton: Yeah but with Jeremy's program coming, they're gonna want to keep prying. It's stupid, I know. But I'm glad you respect his privacy and are demanding people to respect yours. Like I said, I'm just glad you're happy.

Xavier: Thanks, mate. Me too. I've never quite felt this way about anyone so privacy is rather important to me.

Clayton: Good. Don't fuck it up, Mitchell!

Xavier: shut up! [smiles] You know I won't.

Clayton: [chuckles] listen, I have to get going. It's almost bedtime around here and if I'm not getting those kids in the tub, Athena is screaming at the top of her lungs. Love you. My love to the kids and say hi to Celeste, Juniper, Khamani all of em for us! Tell Thomas we need to talk hockey when we go back to the states!

Xavier: I'll tell them! go, go. love you! i'll call mum in the morning as always. [he blew a kiss and hung up]

General- 3 and 5

Story- 1 and 10

Romance- 4 and 7

Does your Tav have any comments or advice when you recruit other companions?

Astarion - "I'm not sure if it makes you foolish or pragmatic to invite someone who held a knife to your throat into our camp. Still, he's quite masterful with a blade, and we'll need all the help we can get."

Gale - "Now, this one I like. He seems to know a bit about our... unwelcome host. And if I were in his position, I too would seek out a portal to fall into."

Lae'zel - "Lae'zel strikes me as one that has little patience for nonsense. Don't ask me where I got that impression. I cannot wait to see her prowess in battle, but I think I'll keep my distance all the same."

Shadowheart - "That artifact of hers intrigues me. I feel there is more to it (and her) that meets the eye. I'd like to get to know her. If she will let me."

Karlach - "Karlach is just a ray of sunshine, isn't she? That's good. Our little group of misfits could do with some joy. And perhaps someone to hide behind when the going gets tough."

Wyll - "The Blade of Frontiers. What a grand title. I envy the way he carries himself; with the grace of one who knows how to dance. Yet, Wyll somehow reveals everything and nothing all at once."

Halsin - "I'm glad Halsin is joining us. His presence is comforting. Now the Shadow Curse is lifted, perhaps I might get him to sit down and relax for once."

Jaheira - "I've met few legends before. It's almost startling how... normal she is. She's just like you or I; she merely had the luck to survive, to live long enough to have her story told."

Minsc - "Poor Minsc. To have a friend's face manipulating you, then watching that same 'friend' die and reappear again must be a shock. Though he seems to be recovering quickly. Boo's influence, no doubt."

Minthara - "I should be wary of Minthara, but... I just feel sorry for her. To have your mind belong to another is a terrible thing. Don't tell her, of course. She'd likely scalp me for pitying her."

How does your Tav advise the player character when it comes to the Dream Visitor?

"There is some truth in what this... 'visitor' tells us. These tadpoles are not normal. But there are many lies in what they say. Their form for me is someone I know to be dead. And perhaps it is a memory, a manifestation of my mind that causes them to appear so, but I don't trust them. Be careful."

How do they react if the PC licks the dead spider in the Gauntlet of Shar?

Answered here :)

Do they have a special romance scene at the tiefling/goblin party?

She does! It's a short scene near the water where the PC can express interest towards her. She will brush off their comments, but say they aren't entirely unwelcome. She'll say that she can't act upon her own feelings just yet, but if the PC is willing to wait, to simply give her time. Then Safaa will challenge them to a stone skipping contest.

What questions can Zethino ask the PC about Tav in the Love Test?

What is she most afraid of hearing? (Answer: It was your fault.)

What does she need to hear the most? (Answer: I forgive you.)

What is her greatest weapon? (Answer: Her voice.)

Well damn!

Great start to season 2: Dads fuckin dead!

---

I guess that's one hell of a way to kick things off for the season, but damn. Like, after all that work they put into trying to find their dad, then trying to help him, save him... and he dies anyways. So Dean can live.

Crepe and Melon spent several more messages just roasting the hell out of John Winchester, which, while it's probably fair, rather took away from the emotion of the scene LMAO

So uh. Gonna be interesting to see how they go forward from here and what their goal will be.

So. Dad Winchester is dead, the Colt has been taken by That Specific Demon alongside its last bullet, and Dean and Sam are here and traumatized. Interesting.

[jules-and-company]

aye you thought i was done with tas ? i will never be free from this torment.

season 2. unfortunately. maybe after watching that i can finally move on and stop being haunted by this fucking stupid cartoon

episode 1 : spock deadly ill, another one for the follow-up episode bingo.

jim, calling starfleet command : pickuppickuppickup

starfleet command : oh my god what do you want

jim : RING RING MOTHERFUCKERS ALL HANDS ON DECK MY BOYFRIEND IS DYING

starfleet command : again ?!?!?

bones, it's been four seasons. we know you care about him. "don't worry, we'll get the cure soon" there's twenty minutes left of the episode out of twenty-seven. will you though. "what good doctors even are ? without our drugs and technology, i might as well be practising in the middle ages." "if you really believed that, bones, you wouldn't still be practising after 25 years." can y'all stop. with bones's complicated relationship with his job. please. oh and there's bomb asteroids too. oooh girl you know it's about to go down when jim kirk starts citing precise passages of diplomatic conferences. you know how you can tell that bones was WORRIED SICK that this time they would really lose spock ? because the second he's better they start arguing about whose constitution is better between vulcan and human (and spock of course saying he prefers vulcan) and bones just goes "he's as stubborn as ever..." and has the most sincere, warm laughter. thank u tas for this and solely for this.

episode 2 : shady "observer" aboard the ship, call him lego alien the way his body is detachable.

it's only now that you ask yourself this question ?

this show isn't real

and now they're talking to god. not that it's unusual

kirk and spock : *are in danger*

scotty :

"i am humbled" brother I am humbled by the amount of madshit crazy content i've been absorbing for the past four hours.

episode 3 : it has been exactly seven seconds of episode. they're already being attacked. romulans btw. they're going through an big ass energy fold and scotty is WORRIED

they're having a little party <3. "we used to pull that off all the time at medical school, with trick glasses" sir respectfully what the fuck were you doing back at the academy when you weren't studying. you know the crew is T I R E D when food falling off of your fork is enough to send an entire table of senior officers into a fit of laughter.

this show ain't real part 2

whoever is waging the prank war is DETERMINED. i love that bones uhura and sulu seem to regularly have time-off together, besties. there's a holodeck ??? i fucking knew it ! they never showed that on tos but i fucking knew it was there. it's the ship's computer who became sentient who's waging the prank war, not only does it have terrible humour but it also said "fuck around and find out" to spock. jim cannot believe he's being sassed by his own ship's computer. "when i find out who's the clown behind all this, i'll put him in sickbay for a week !" is the most bones threat ever.

this show ain’t real part 3

why is bones so weak to the cold like my man is always « leave me alone to die i’m frostbitten anyways ». the enterprise truly is a little fucker because now she’s getting revenge on the romulans by sending them on a wild-goose chase after an enterprise-shaped balloon. jimmy boy why are you having a panic attack on bridge ??? how it was a counterprank.

Our Hearts Collide - Chapter 8 - Part 3

*Warning - Adult Content*

Simon

"I can't sense him at all."

Xavier bit his lip at that, before looking down at the map sprawled on the desk.

"We already checked the southern border but nothing turned up. That beta said he left the north side near the Rogue Center but nobody's caught a scent."

"Have you checked the cave?"

Xavier nodded.

"We'll check again."

"What about the eastern part of the forest near the mountain ridge. It's denser, he could've got stuck somewhere there?"

"We've sent three parties in the area."

"Nothing?"

Xavier shook his head.

Sam gripped my hand calmly, as if would help the growing anxiety and frustration.

'I want to go out there. I needed to,' I thought to myself.

Before I could suggest anything else, Xavier got a phone call.

He paused to stare at the caller ID before standing up and excusing himself from the table.

He didn't leave the room, instead paced the council room as I tried to reign in the impulse to run out there and shift.

Xavier's mouth hung open as he clutched the phone to his ear.

He turned away from us, whispering something inaudibly.

Sam called his name softly but Xavier's shuddered, turning to us slowly with his head down.

'Vince,' I thought but his posture and disheartened emotion on his face said otherwise.

His hand that held the cell-phone fell to his side, tears streaming down his face, his lips pinched between his teeth.

"What's wrong, you alright?"

I reached a hand to his shoulder, tremors wracking his body.

"Xav, what's going on?"

"It's... It's my mom."

Xavier let out a pained cry as his phone slipped from his hands, falling to the carpeted floors.

"She doesn't have much longer. Chase says she's deteriorating faster. I don't think... I don't."

Sam had placed a gentle hand on his shoulder as his somber words sunk in.

We had known her condition was worsening, that her time was approaching but neither of us had expected it this soon.

The devastation was written on Xavier's face, he had always been so close to her that facing this so unexpectedly had left him a blubbering mess in a matter of seconds.

His breaths were ragged, bordering hyperventilating as the sobs overcame him.

If it hadn't been for me and Sam by his side, he would've crumpled to the floor as quickly as his phone had dropped.

Sam had guided him to the edge of the table to sit, as my hand rubbed circles on his back.

"Breathe," Sam reminded him.

"In, out. In, out."

It took a while for Xavier to steady his breaths, only for another wave of sobbing to continue.

Through his cries, he managed to say...

"I need... need to see her."

"I know."

I grimaced, placing a hand on his wet cheek.

"I know, Xav but you need to breathe, okay? You don't want her to see you like this, right?"

His pout deepened at that thought before a pained wail escaped his lips.

He mouthed the word no, shaking his head excessively.

Sam had brushed next to me to place his hand on his other cheek.

"Oh, look at you. You've got all those snot boogers all over your face," Sam had told him in a tone he used with his patients, one that elicited a faint smile from Xavier as he pathetically tried to wipe his snot away with the back of his hand.

"Let's clean that up first before we see her, okay?"

My hand traveled the side of his head.

He mewled in agreement before leaning into my hand before wrapping his around my torso.

Clinging to me in support.

With a sad frown, I rubbed his back as Sam enveloped us both into his arms too.

The youngest had always been attached to his mother, even more so these days and I couldn't imagine how terrible he must've felt and to think Vince wasn't here.

Oh, Moon Goddess, he wasn't here.

With clenched fists, another wave of emotion hit me at that thought.

It was bad enough that he was nowhere to be found, hadn't been in contact for days.

But now his mother was laying there, about to die at any moment and he wasn't here for her.

Or for Xavier for that matter.

He should be here, Xavier couldn't do this alone.

"Just come home," I managed to say, to no one in particular.

Maybe as a desperate plea that would hopefully reach him, urging him to be here.

"Please, just come home."

Chus & Ceballos - Black Rock City [Official Music Video]

They do this music every time as the intro and when would think they knew it was there cuz I keep saying burning Man and it's terribly ridiculous and the intro music is played as we said every single burning Man and pretty much for like half a day then they start playing other songs and they play it again and they like it it's electro and it's famous and he got a song played once and they thought it was really intense so they had the artist come and she was real pleased find out it was you and said no way and I said that's a weapon that I told him at that Tony is a weapon the one right there and it can be activated at this time it's just that we were at risk I said yeah people die there still and it's by Mary and she said no and she told people and they said who in the after it's mostly Max and the we're heavy hitters and against them and helps you guys grow I'll stop over too but I know if it's my dad did and he flew s***** Chitty bang bang out and I don't deserve it and Queen Elizabeth II was riding it and I told her to bring a bunch of rags here shirt and the other side and they stuffed him in his dad didn't have time to fix it was cool and she said oh no and they started talking about it it's really the flavor of it and they went nuts and said you were glad you're here and she said I'm kind of related a little and she's a Mac and he says they're trying to hit people there it's not a good idea to go there and he says possibly not you can be further away from it though so they got a little upset and they figured out that they're out in the computer is doing it and they're looking for people who are maxed but interested in there sad and said they can't help this and they got it but this is the intro music and yeah they play it every time over and over and it is awesome vital and goddess wife and I said it was us. There's a few things going on I can announce

-we have a party here and no we have a party that's out of order it's the trumps and they're leaving and they are upset their fleet is out and they have to get out of here they have other fleets and they're trying to get them going and they're going to try and do that tonight I guess if they don't they're just going to sit there getting hit and the last 1.5 billion is under attack and a lot of people want to be so damn onrry. His other news

-we have a whole bunch of people who need out of here it's happening everyday and they're dangerous and they won't stop with it and he says we know about it and let's do something so we're going to go ahead and do something and spend too long today and too many and we'll have to keep doing it and maintenance cuz other stuff too

-we have a tired little boy here and he tried to eat a lot of ham and he did but he's hoping to work and we think it will and we need to get him to rest pretty soon tonight and sleep

-there's a lot of battles going on in space it's going to take a while bja is going to battle the pseudo empire if he can get over there but it looks like Trump is trying to form up on Mars and he is probably not going to make it and he has like four billion or five billion chips and already the pseudo empire has 5 billion trumps are the same 4 billion to 5 billion but he's got to heat them all up and get them all out he's trying to do it from the apartment he's not supposed to be in and he can't tell if they're receiving and stuff like that

There's a huge argument between himself and his people and they're telling them to shut up and get off the radio and stop telling people why we're doing and he's saying no they're going to listen tonight I mean he will you hear them talking about what they're going to do she does not comply he's going to get hurt

-it's a couple other things going on that are really big this this guy Trump has been trying to mess with his social security and he is the acting director and supposedly he's a good guy at least he's telling some people that and we are intercepting him and huge forces have moved up there from the pseudo empire us the Max and foreigners and miscellaneous and bja and we're all taking him down these are higher ups in the DC area they have access codes and safeties and what they arranged and everything for probably 50% of the remaining stashes and cash systems and entrance systems. It's on okay they're going to get polished off and stopped and people are sick of your abuse the tire being abused by them and they're tired of their stupid mouth and their dumb talk and the sick and tired of seeing them moving around and saying we understand we heard you and say they're big when they're very small right now they're 3% that's not big off Island that's very small my comparison to what they were they are about 1/7 the size of what they were or about 14% instead of 100%, and yeah you're stupid you're not doing well you're not doing anything you're pissing people off and boy you rude dumb m************ so we're going to take you out I can't stand you this is some idiot stuff and he said it's kind of hard to deal with but I'm pretty sure they're just really stupid and it turned out to be true and they're kind of mean and wicked on top and they say a lot of stuff another thing to announce

-people are forming up on their walls in their areas and they're going after them and say he hired him to do the job it's not his fault and these people are morons saying they're Giants running around telling people and they haven't done anything except screw up and had someone else do it and the Trump said the trumps are fighting the Max and the max of pulverizing them and they don't get anywhere so now it's going to be them disappearing already there around 2.8% and it's because of their proximity to Giants the fact that they're holding it down and away from people and that they also know about Dave and his best friend and a computer guy in salt point to him that he has information or worse and it's going on right now and the numbers of these guys keeps reducing. 2.8% is very small they're losing people very fast and they're not going to be around for much longer really at the rates are going it's like 1% a day and with no fleet they'll have a lot less power and people are chasing down all their small ships and they're going to New Zealand the ships that are protecting New Zealand are going to be vulnerable as most of them are going to Mars and we'll update you in a moment

Bitol and Goddess wife

Olympus

[paulnewmanlover]

finished bg3 so spoilers for the ending below

soooo that was like 160 hours of major enjoyment with a pretty big let down right at the finish line 💀 it wasn't terrible but it was decidedly very "meh"

I was a bit ambivalent on the whole ~becoming an illithid to defeat the elder brain~ bc I just made orpheus do it lol so it was kinda dumb but I didn't really care

final fight against the brain wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't the best battle of the game either (cazador, raphael, ketheric, gobbo camp, and the iron crown were my favorites). biggest complaint was that your summons... die permanently? I summoned my owlbear thinking it'd be like scratch but no it actually DIED??? I reloaded and said fuck it to any summons I actually cared about and just used yurgir and rolan's airstrike, bc I didn't want to risk them dying :(

but whaaat in the actual heck was that concluding scene???

1) I had karlach die bc I've heard the ending scene w ur love interest is bugged if you don't and she just DISINTEGRATED??? I thought the scene after we killed gortash was waaay more emotionally impactful, the ending didn't really match it in terms of quality. I actually was feeling ok about her death bc I like tragedy (thane lover here) but after watching it I didn't feel much beyond shock

2) what a bad ending scene for poor astarion? I got his romance bit at the end which was admittedly cute but if you didn't have that? he starts to burn, runs off, and nobody seemed bothered by it? just "I doubt we'll see him again anytime soon" like we wouldn't go after him??? to at least say a proper goodbye, not just "so long and good riddance"?? again, just zero emotional impact, which is frustrating bc his scenes carried the most emotional weight in the rest of the game imo

3) why did shart not get any dialogue.... why did fucking minsc of all people, who was in my party for all of 3 quests before the end, get stuff to say but not the girl who's been with me from the beginning? jaheira and halsin got stuff to say too, just generic comments about saving the city?? and there was no recognition that I was in a romance with halsin so that was just a dead end

4) I had a bug where anyone not in my immediate party would show their hats no matter what so most of my party was wearing stupid dumb hats for these "emotional" scenes

5) didn't have a chance to un-wildshape orpheus so he was a fucking displacer beast for the final scene and I had no clue what was happening with him except watching his paws bend in funny ways 🤪

still definitely loved the game, still excited to replay it, but gods above i hope they fix that crap ending. I think its pretty obvious they ran outta time and just slapped something together

at least the power of my imagination will carry me through. can wish spells cure vampirism lmao??? my tav is bard so he just has to stay on that adventuring grind for a few more levels til he can learn it 🥴👌

Draco Trilogy 2 - Favorite Quotes pt. 1

think to myself, "That is a beautiful boy, he must be related to me!"

She was just as conceited as Draco, which in Harry's opinion lent a certain credibility to her assurance that they shared family.

they'd formed an effective mutual admiration society. Draco rarely went anywhere these days without Fleur tagging along

Surely it wasn't possible to be so very fair-haired and light-eyed

said Draco hopefully. "Or "this sword is worth a lot of money'?"

"Or "'I belong to a massive git'?"

"Well, did you try looking under the sofa in HELL?" yelled Draco, who was looking fed up

which was true enough. "Unless you count Potter, I've always had my suspicions about him, but you're welcome to him if you want him."

"The Potter boy is of no concern to me," he said.

"Hey!" yelled Harry, who was used to being the focal point of world events

If we tell him there are demons in our bedroom, he'll feel morally bound to do something about it."

"We can tell him there was a demon in our bedroom. Just one."

"I think teachers are required to regard even one demon in the dormitory as an administrative problem,"

"You want to know why? Because it's a DEMON!"

"Don't yell in my ear," said Draco, looking irritable.

"Great," said Draco. "That'll be a lot of fun at parties. 'Hi, my name is Draco Malfoy and I can kill absolutely anything, what can YOU do?'"

"And is it less evil if you keep it in your office?"

"I mean, I always figured if she left you, it would be for me. Sorry," he added, looking up at Harry.

However, knocking Harry down in the hallway and throwing a blanket on him seemed unfeasible.

ink and blood. A flying shard of glass had cut his cheek.

One of the stained-glass windows set high in the wall above their heads shattered, raining down bright bits of glass.

"You will not 'it Draco! You will ruin 'is face!"

said Draco, who could only grin out of one side of his mouth, which gave him a lopsided and vaguely psychotic air

Harry--who was cowering against one wall--to Draco, who was cowering against the wall opposite

said Draco, who seemed determined to act as Greek Chorus

Viktor Krum would never do that, he's...he's...a famous international figure!"

"So is Voldemort," said Ginny crankily

"My mum used to say I slept like a little baby angel," said Draco, unfazed

taller, much browner, and if possible, even blonder. "Hallo," he said

I suggest we find him, posthaste, and ask politely. And if that doesn't work, we'll hold him down and threaten to shave off his eyebrow."

looking slightly sick to his stomach, as if the words "I agree with Malfoy"

with narrowed gray eyes

And where I'm concerned. He was willing to die for me. You can't say that about a lot of people."

"Have you traveled much?"

"Not unless you count the time my father tried to sell me to itinerant trolls."

Draco...how do you feel about going through her stuff without permission?"

"I feel pretty okay about it," said Draco.

"Somehow this is not surprising,"

"My favorite was always 'You can get more with a kind word and a really big stick than you can with just a kind word,'" said Draco cheerfully. "My father used to say that."

He could have bench-pressed Harry and had energy left over to toss Draco the length of an Olympic swimming pool.

"And on the day the words 'flimsy excuse' were reinvented," said Draco, "we all stood around in awe and watched."

"We'll just see about that," said Draco, shoving the tip of his wand into Krum's sternum. "Veritas!"

"No," said Lupin, smiling back. "We weren't terrible. We were great."

that look on Harry's face had made Draco nervous. Now he found it oddly reassuring.

"Why?" said Draco, warily. The last time Harry had asked Draco to give him his hand, he'd sliced his palm open with a penknife.

"This is what I mean about letting Gryffindors plan things. What kind of plan is 'concentrate'?"

neither were they supposed to sneak away from school in the dead of night for the purpose of putting powerful and illegal curses on famous international athletes

she could tell just by looking at him that there was a smirk chasing around inside his tidy blond head

dark eyes and long, curling hair. In the half-dark, she looked like--

"Hermione?" he whispered, only half awake.

"No, it's Ginny."

I thought someone was murdering you. Look where you are, Malfoy."

her voice was uncertain. "Malfoy..."

"What?"

"You're bleeding."

She turned around. He was kneeling amid the blankets. He had taken his shirt off

He looked up at Ginny, and the moonlight struck cold sparks from his silver eyes

But she didn´t want to look at him, because he had his shirt off and it gave her an odd feeling

He glanced up at grinned. "I am shocked," he said. "Shocked that there is only one thing you hate about me

Ginny suddenly felt her face twitch into a smile, and was horrified.

Why was she smiling at Draco Malfoy?

"More like...splattered."

"Oh, right," said Ron with heavy sarcasm, "Never mind then, it isn't weird at all."

but he didn't want to be like Draco, didn't want to invoke Hermione's name as a whip

"Soup just isn't that scary, Malfoy."

"Other than that, it was a good speech," interjected Ginny encouragingly.

(He had given her a lock of it for the purpose, so fine and silvery that it hardly looked like human hair at all.)

"Bastard," said Ron. "Whatś he doing hanging around his own office?"

"I refuse to consider this as a reflection on my personality," said Draco, looked at the charred rug.

"And thatś your prerogative,"

Draco, who was now nearly crying with laughter

"Thatś a snow globe, Malfoy," said Harry. "Nice try."

The nymph in the globe winked at Draco as he put her down.

Draco was holding the case clutched against his chest as if it was a baby, and his eyes were enormous and pained

Hermione has the first one. Who in my life do I trust enough to give this one to?

as he had learned to do when he was a child, locked in the wardrobe in his bedroom

Suddenly terrified, he tried to yell out for Harry

As they watched in horror, he tumbled downwards, vanishing into the treetops

Please let him be all right, she prayed.

And Draco. Let him be all right, too.

"She should have loved me anyway!" he cried. "As I would have loved her, regardless

half-sprinting across the clearing towards Draco's crumpled form

"I heard it break," added Draco, with a shudder. "It sounded like a broomstick snapping in half."

"Speaking of which," said Harry. "Your broomstick's snapped in half."

look back around at Harry -

Harry raised his hand in a weak salute

(and had miraculously failed to impale himself on while falling)

"Don't," he said, without opening his eyes. "Look at me. It makes me nervous."

"Same thing you were thinking last night. 'Hey, look at Malfoy, all cute and helpless and kinda nice.

"Is that one of your father's famous sayings?"

"No," he said. "I made that one up myself."

"That suit is charming," said Narcissa

And she did look a great deal like Draco

This had struck him as such a neat trick that he kept tossing the sword several feet away, making it jump

He opened his silver eyes and looked at Harry. "I haven't got one,"

"Well, there was that time my mum entered me into the Handsomest Boy in Chipping Sodbury contest

Harry watched the moonlight playing over Draco's face, printing the shadow of leaves against his pale skin, and thought, he's going to be my brother.

I'm a scary demon, gimme the sword, gimp boy.'"

"No, it's just a wild stab in the dark. Which is what you'll be getting in about one minute

the demon did not reply. Draco was disappointed. He had thought it was rather a good speech. Very Malfoy.

plunged the tip into the earth. Then slowly, agonizingly, he used it to pull himself upright

He thought he heard the bones grind against each other

white light shattered by black spots of agony. My leg -

- it hurts, God, it hurts.

everything spinning away into darkness behind his eyes.

I won't faint. I won't.

"And you looked very scary and all, at least before you shrieked and fell over and fainted."

"And I didn't even get to see it," said Draco mournfully. "Was it cool?"

"The shaking is a side effect of the terror," said Draco. "Don't worry about it."

"Your Patronus. It was a dragon. It was silver. I thought you should know."

"Ow," said Draco, in a small, pained voice. "Ow. Please don't sit on the broken leg."

"That's the dragon that told me about Draco's Patronus," he said.

"Dragons talk?"

"Mostly it's a lot of reminiscing about the good old days when villagers used to leave girls tied to stakes for them to eat, and complaining and wanting to be told how pretty their scales are.

"They're fantastic," he said. "Don't know why we've never done dragons in Care of Magical Creatures," said Draco, still staring upward.

"Probably the same reason we've never done Certain Death Charms in Flitwick's class," said Ron sourly. "Mortality rate."

on Draco and was gazing at him with a look that could almost be described as fond. "I think she likes you," he said to Draco. "That hardly ever happens."

gazed up at the dragon, which gazed back, emitting cheerful-looking puffs of smoke.

"Trousers," said Draco immediately. "I don't much fancy pioneering the new one-trouser-leg look

"Sure," said Draco. "When nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will always see us through."

"Ve-ry interesting," drawled the mirror. "Lots of promise here. Can't wait to see how you clean up."

"Leave him alone, Audrey," he said sternly to the mirror. "He's only sixteen."

"The dragons like Malfoy, so Charlie likes him. He'd like the Dark Lord if he got along with the Hungarian Horntails.

he stared in surprise. "Well, would you look at Malfoy,"

Against all the black, Draco's silvery hair and pale skin stood out startlingly. He looked a older, thought Ginny, and different, and just a little...dangerous.

"Malfoy looks really hot."

"She wants to be alone, with her, uh..."

"Vegetarianism,"

aiming his nose into the air. "Besides, I look really hot in them."

stepping towards an astonished Draco, she seized him and kissed him firmly on the lips.

the other veela, giving shrieks of delight, fell on him like a consortium of mad aunts

pulling at his hair, stroking the lapels of his leather jacket, pinching at any exposed skin

There must not be many part-veela men, he thought, slapping a hand that was reaching for his belt buckle.

"Hands off!" he squeaked warningly. "Ow -okay, that really isn't necessary

he'd always dreamed that there would come a day when he would be so famous that the mere mention of his name would silence a room full of people.

saw her shaking hand swing around to point the wand at him.

"Stupefy!"

wrenched the door open.

And saw Draco, standing astonished on the other side.
